Coach Talk

Bad JuJu
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A solid 21 completions on 26 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 81% for Kyler Murray this past week. The Dolphins secondary didn't stand a chance!.
TheMuffinStuffers
Trust me (as a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that pro-bono Assistant Coaching job open at the local Pop Warner team down the road! Keep pushing forward, TheMuffinStuffers!
