UNM Football Offensive Coordinator Derek Warehime is ready to give the football to his players and start the season. Of course, like the rest of America, Covid-19 is keeping them off the field. From our interview, you can tell Coach Warehime is a great motivator. I was impressed with his commitment to relationships with Lobo players on the field and off. Every day the coaching staff are communicating with their players to make sure they are using their time wisely. Coach Derek sounds like a pretty good Dad in addition to being a great football coach!
