Snoop is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain't going to accept nothing but a winner.

I think the worst thing you can do about a situation is nothing.
I think everybody likes a person that stands up for themselves. Nobody likes a punk or a coward.
I'm always open, and will criticize myself, too. And I just think being that honest with everybody puts you in a different space than somebody who's just shooting venom at a certain group or a certain amount of individuals.
