Interview w/ Jason Eaker (Head Coach at Oklahoma Baptist University)

Jason Eaker is the Head Coach at Oklahoma Baptist University and he shares his coaching journey. He started off playing for five different Head Coaches during his playing career at multiple colleges.

Upon graduation he reunited with the Bob Hoffman - the Head Coach who recruited him to play for him at OBU. He served as his Video Coordinator at Texas Pan-America before going with him to be on staff at Oklahoma under Kelvin Sampson. Coach Eaker served as a Graduate Assistant for a year before being hired at Liberty University. He spent eight years at Liberty serving under three different Head Coaches [Randy Dunton, Dale Layer, and Ritchie McKay] and met his wife there. Coach Eaker is a religious person and so being at Liberty University was a perfect fit.

Just like so many in coaching, Coach Eaker didn't leave Liberty on his own terms, he was arrested. He speaks very openly about the circumstances and how it changed his life. Again he would reunite with Bob Hoffman, he joined his coaching staff at Mercer and they experienced lots of success! Coach Eaker talks about returning to where it all started [OBU] and the various things he's learned during his one-of-a-kind coaching journey.
