Coach Talk

headhunters
Bravo, headhunters. Nice job deploying a lineup that posted 116 points in Week 14.
Lunatic Fringe
Trust me on this one (as a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that pro-bono Assistant Coaching gig open at the local high school down the road! Keep your chin up, Lunatic Fringe!
