Trivia
One of the three legendary coaches that Cam mentions while discussing his chance to become the most successful first-year coach in school history is Ducky Pond. Raymond "Ducky" Pond was, in fact, an actual football coach that coached for 7 years at Yale University and 7 years at Bates College. His 1936 and 1937 Yale teams both finished ranked 12th in the AP college football poll.

Quotes
Phil Dunphy: Real estate and, to a lesser extent, life is all about perseverance. Things go wrong. Keys get lost, deals fall through, keys get misplaced. Uh, a lot of it has to do with keys. But that's when you find out there are two types of people: those who waste time staring at a closed door... and those who find a window.

Featured review

6/10

I hadn't seen earlier episodes in a while.

Knowing how bad it gets...I have 2 feelings on this episode.

1 is...remember how much better the show was before?

2 is...good lord. This show has as always had issues. When they were little cracks, they weren't as noticeable.

But good lord...those cracks just took over, didn't they.

This isn't a great episode, but its solidish.
