@jimshapiro Maintain your standards!

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

Get your boys into football and watch the transformation!

Football uniquely challenges boys in ways that boys need but rarely get in today’s society.

We need football because it provides an environment where boys can become young men, and young men can become grown men.

@DonohueJr @CoachC_NJW @SRHS_FB One of the best I have ever been around. Enjoy your retirement Chuck.

My main purpose when I meet with my position group is to get them ready to play, to make them the smartest players on the field. I don’t need to show them how smart I am. I don’t get to go between the white lines. I want them spending more time on the board than me.

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

You want to be tough? Sit in the front of the classroom, be early to practice and last to leave, refuse to accept C’s in your classes, be first in sprints, find a way to better yourself and your teammates, always do what is right! That’s what it means to be tough.

To all my former players and to all the coaches I’ve shared the sidelines with, wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Family, Friends, Food, Football. It’s a tough combination to beat!!!

@edsadloch Congratulations Ed. I’m sure it’s going to be a great read!

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

@thewinningdiff1 I’ve always maintained that hard work is no guarantee of success. But a lack of hard work will guarantee failure.

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

@CoachSamz Classic example of the tail wagging the dog. Shame on the school board and the administrators for not backing their coach.

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

@edsadloch When you look back there are two statements you can make, “I wish I had” and “I’m glad I did.” Hopefully at the end of the season you will have a lot of memories to look back on and say, “I’m glad I did!”

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

@edsadloch Great to hear Ed. No doubt you will make them better!

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

5 yard penalties are nothing more than mental errors. They are avoidable. False starts, encroachment, delay of game, illegal motions, etc. are mistakes well disciplined teams rarely make. And we know more games are lost by mistakes than are won on big plays.

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

@edsadloch We both lucked near the end of our careers, you at St. Peter’s Prep and me at RFH. I will always be grateful for that coaching experience.

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

@coachvint A lot of great coaches out there who know how to do more with less!

[Charlie Pirrello @ccpirrello1]

@edsadloch @coachschuman Same here Ed. Liked using variations of unbalanced. Does cut into defensive prep time. Add one per week without adding new plays just different ones and by the end of the season you really got defensive coaches heads spinning.
