Coach Simmons


I'd take his "miracle formations" and rip them up in front of his face. He's never been to our practices. What makes him think he can design a better offense than I can?
 

Coach Hughes


I'd thank him and tell him I'd look over the formations. However, I'd also tell him we've been working on our offensive game plan since preseason, based on the abilities of our players. The kids have been steadily improving their skills, so changing things now might be a disruption.
 

Coach Ortega


I'd tell him I could use all the help I can get. I'd take the formations, thank him, and make the changes.
