Coach Talk

SAWTOOTHS
We do respect the confidence this past week, SAWTOOTHS. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Noah Fant), while still getting a win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Vultures
Don't get too down on yourself, Vultures! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that pro-bono Assistant Coaching job available at the nearby Pop Warner team down the road!
