Coach Talk

AA Ron Balakay
Listen, AA Ron Balakay, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to play a starter with negative points (the Kansas City Chiefs defense) while still getting a win. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Darkhorse198
Don't get too discouraged, Darkhorse198! 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 Graduate Assistant job open at the community college down the road!
