Coach Talk

When Harry Met Sony
Hey, it's good to be confident, When Harry Met Sony. It takes real moxie to roll out a starter with zero points (Clyde Edwards-Helaire), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Corn on the Cobb
Don't beat yourself up too badly, Corn on the Cobb! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort in the fact that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching job available at the local high school down the road!
