Welcome to award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make this the most unique areas of Texas. In this award-winning podcast series, Tom Fox visits with Schreiner University Head Coach Keith Allen about his path from walking on at the University of Oklahoma to coaching and leading programs across college football and high school football.
Allen recounts taking a $700-a-month graduate assistant role over engineering offers, coaching stops including Louisiana Monroe, TCU, Quincy University, San Jose State, and eight years as head coach at Southwest Baptist, then winning a state championship while coaching and teaching in Florida before returning to Texas and joining Schreiner to launch its NCAA Division III, non-scholarship football program. He explains why Schreiner appealed to him: leading again, building a program from scratch, and strong university and community commitment to championship goals. Allen describes recruiting around “five fits” (spiritual, social, academic, athletic, financial), core values like “tough people win,” and promoting discipline, effort, and conditioning, and previews the Sept. 5 home opener versus Austin College; information is at sufootball.com.
