Earlier today we received the news of our Coach Mark Briggs and Sac Republic deciding to part ways so we decided to do a short bonus episode for everyone to talk about it. He was without a doubt, one of the best Republic coaches we've had with a highly notable achievement of taking us to our first-ever US Open Cup Final in 2022! We wish you the best of luck Mark! Thank you for everything you did for the team and our fans!
