Coach Talk

Delusions of grandeur 2
Infinite hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A staggering 20 connections on 24 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 83% for Patrick Mahomes this past week. The Raiders secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Vicks Animal Shelter
Trust me (as a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that scrappy Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the road! Keep your head up, Vicks Animal Shelter!
