Since his arrival in 2019, head coach Rod Carey has preached that there are just a few things that you need to know to be successful in his program. Similar to Vince Lombardi whose ethos was usually established with three important qualities, Carey usually talks in threes.
The characteristics of his players are that they are Smart, Tough, and Relentless.
On the field he finds success if the team can run the ball well, stop the run, and excel on special teams.
One only has to spend a short amount of time at Edberg-Olson Hall, the Temple Football training facility, to see numerous signs that scream out what the important pillars of the program are…
- Earn a Degree
- Give Back
- Win
The order is not by accident.
