Coach Talk

Hoffman Hillbillies
Nice work, Hoffman Hillbillies. Props on deploying a lineup that posted 98 points in Week 3. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Naperville Endgame, and continue on our way towards the Payton34 FFL league title.
Naperville Endgame
Trust me (as a coach who's frequently lived life on the hot seat)... You can always fall back on that volunteer Assistant Coaching job available at the local Pop Warner team down the road! Keep pushing forward, Naperville Endgame!
