This week on Inside the Headset – Presented by CoachComm, we sit down with Mike Bloomgren, the Head Coach at Rice University. In this conversation, Coach Bloomgren takes us through his career that has taken him to schools across the country, explains the value of coaching at different levels of football, and talks through how he took the lessons others taught him and applied it to his coaching. Coach Bloomgren, who led the Owls to a bowl game last season, was recently selected as a member of the AFCA Board of Trustees.   Follow Coach Bloomgren and Rice Football on social media here:  @mbloom11 & @RiceFootball  Show Notes:   1:05 Starting out as a football coach, playing football vs. coaching football, including your significant other in career decisions.   17:23 Sharpening your tools as a young coach and experience coaching in the NFL.  28:15 Opportunity to coach at Stanford, interviewing and hiring coaches, making the jump to being a head coach.   43:42 Turning down head coaching jobs in order to find the right fit, creating a culture, being named to the AFCA Board of Trustees.
