RE: Who should be our next head coach?

So, Coach Chippitt, do you line up RR under center like Enos or put him in the gun like every other sane coach? If you say "gun" the job is yours! Bonus points if you say neither because RR would be on the bench (BTW he stumbled back to pass and overthrew in the end zone by like ten yards).
Chippitt:
Thanks for your interest, Joe. My experience in coaching my son's first grade flag football team has provided me with valuable experience needed to bring a team to victory under the trying circumstances described. As such, I will be able to effectively manage the scenario you have provided.
First, I have found that the shotgun is too dangerous to rely on in crunch time. My time in the flag football league has taught me that most shotgun snaps get fumbled. While you might not like this answer, I feel a direct snap would be best, especially since the defensive linemen have to count to "7 Mississippi" before rushing.
I would, however, use my coaching experience to score some quick points in this scenario. I have found that, without fail, some players just lose interest as the game wears on. I would identify any such players on the defense (the ones sitting and pulling grass, watching butterflies, constantly waving to their parents, etc.) and exploit their lack of focus to our advantage. :domokun:
Thank you once again.

I think I saw Enos pulling weeds on the sidelines
