Coach Talk

Kingdom of the North
Earning the win is most important, Kingdom of the North, but we definitely know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting running backs were thoroughly overmatched this past week. James White (28 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Mark Ingram (53 yards, one TD) combined for just 21.35 points in Week 14. Jordan Howard and Christian McCaffrey doubled us up with a score of 48.15. Let's bug the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 15!
Sasquatch
Take my word for it (as a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that gritty Assistant Coaching job open at the nearby high school down the road! Keep your head up, Sasquatch!
