Santa Monica Iconics Head Coach Speaks After Stunning Loss
Head coach Solomon Monster and select players spoke to the media after the game. Here are his most notable quotes:
Monster describes the lack of execution, and the lack of fundamentals shown in the loss
“We did not execute and play at the level we needed to, and that’s my fault.”
“We have to do a better job of coaching them and getting the fundamentals right.”
Monster acknowledges the lack of offensive output, and the Chicago Massacre success in wearing down the clock
“Offensively, unacceptable. We scored seven points on the day.”
“They ate the clock as they went and we gave up some critical third-and-longs.”
Monster taking full accountability for the lack of urgency the team displayed
“At the end of the day, that’s my fault as the head football coach. We have to have people ready in all three phases. We had chances to make plays in all three phases.”
“We had opportunities, but we have to coach it better. That’s on me.”
“Whatever we have to do to be successful, we will do.”
Right now is the time to come together. It’s time to go back to fundamentals. There is a lot of GFL football left.”
Monster on the current state of the locker room after the loss
“Nothing’s ever as good or as bad as it seems.”
“We have good girls in that locker room.”
“We still have a chance to have a really good team and the franchise is still there.”
