Coach Anderson stepping down was a shock, not the most surprising one for Rich but a shock none the less. Anderson had taught Rich a lot about becoming just a better person, he was not a perfect coach, but he was a great role model for Rich. He was getting older though and knew it was time to hang it up but decided to give the kids one last hurrah and have his old player Rich Triplet coach a game. Rich has some coaching experience from his time being a CB coach in the off-season for Tijuana and was more than excited to take up a game or two while they looked for a replacement. Rich spent a lot of time with the freshman wide receiver Sherwin Blue Jr. showing him some route running to keep opposing corners on their toes. This paid dividends and Sherwin ended up snagging 12 receptions for 140 yards and 2 touchdowns in a blowout victory against their cross-town rivals the buffalos. Rich was offered a permanent position on the staff but declined as he has been busy helping his team reach the playoffs, he did however give Sherwin Blue Jr. his personal phone number and said he would love to continue working with him in the years to come to hope he makes the ISFL.
