What is your favorite HS coach's quote?

[CenTexSports]

Here is mine but paraphrased a little.

"(Left blank for protection) is the best football town in Texas. Everyone supports the team, coaches and school. Every parent wants us to field a winning team and they want the best ten players on the field at ALL TIMES plus their son."

[pancho villa]

"Our players need to see the wizard" "For some heart,brains, and courage"

[pirate4state]

HAHAHAHA

that's funny and wrong all at the same time!! :eek: :eek:

[LH Panther Mom]

"Quit playing grab-@$$ out there!" (As said by my dad when he was still coaching. :D )

[44INAROW]

"Guys, to be successful you need the 3 T's - Teamwork, Talent and Termination"

If you read this AAA87 - you know who said it:D :D

[nobogey72]

Wylie's Hugh Sandifer in 1979 1st yr. of coaching 7th grade football........ "Son, unless you told your mom that you would let her know exactly what time it was when you made your first tackle, take your watch off and give it to the manager.":D

[BreckTxLonghorn]

All said in one practice during Goal-line offense/defense:

"I don't think you guys understand. If we cross the goalline, we get 6 points."

"If they don't score, they don't get any points. We can win if we do that."

[Adidas410s]

Another Hugh Sandifer favorite...

The heat is a crippling thing.

[Texasfootball2]

Interesting quote from Jerry Tarkanian

Once asked during the NCAA tourney if he was concerned about playing the regionals in Salt Lake city because of the alltitude. Tarkanians response. "I'm not worried at all, We're playing inside".

You could publish a good book on quoting Hugh Sandifer.

[firstdown]

My two favorites come from the days when I played...

Coach: where you hurt'n?

Me: My knee

Coach: get up and play it's three feet from your heart it won't kill ya.

same coach when I couldn't get up "hurry up your killin grass".

An unfortunate quote. Dat Ng played at Rockport, Texas A&M and the Dallas Cowboys and did very well and was always a class act.

[TxAthlete]

All said by my head coach over the years, usually multiple times in one practice:

Knock his junk in the dirt! - sometimes he wished to impose this particular fate on us as well, but never did :P

(while watching film) There we go crappin in our pants again

and last but certainly not least - reserved for dire situations only

I heard that one before a few games! I think he's still one of the most underrated coaches on that staff.

Unfortunate, but true. Many of those players escaped Vietnam with their families in the early '70s when the war was still raging. I have no doubt they actually DID see some killing.

Coach Hines 7th grade year 1983.

It was the second or third game of the year. We were beating
Breckenridge or Clyde by like 28 points with about 2 minutes
left in the game. Coach Hines calls for the 8th string FS:( . I go
running up to him. He puts his hand on my shoulder pad, looks me
in the eye, looks down at my feet, looks me in the eye again,
and says....."Don't let 'em score".:D

Coach Gonzales used to play softball with my dad in the 80's and my dad is 57 so I reckon he's that old too.

I guess that we should start another thread for special quotes made by cheerleader coaches for the lady mods. They probably did not use the same kind of words that the football coaches did.

He will tell you also that "the heat" is not necessarily referring to the temperature.:thinking:

[CenTexSports]

The mods remind me more and more of athletic officials. Every one has a different mood and hot button. RM blasted me one day for a comment when I accidently pushed her botton and today P4S rips me because I must of hit hers.

If cheerleaders and their sponsers are a touchy subject for you then I will most definately be more careful in the future.

BTW: The post about the tread was not meant to insinuate that we should be able to use profanity on this site. It was just a post.

Maybe you're the one who is sensitive today? That was hardly a "rip", but if I hurt your feelings then I'm sorry. LOL.

Probably the best coach's quote ever IMO:

John McKay, head coach of Tampa Bay during their 0-14 year, in the dressing room right after getting torched by some team, said
"Men, let's hurry up and shower and get out of here before they score again!"

[nobogey72]

Best quotable coach ever - Wilbert Hunter

Some of these are inside jokes, but a lot of them he literary says every day. To give you a mental picture just imagine an extremely muscular black man with the deepest voice in the world.

"We ain't got no smalls"
"Tighten up"
"I see you boy"
"Thundercats ... hhhhhooooo"

[nobogey72]

This is not necessarily a quote, but one of the most memorable things I ever remember a coach saying to a team. On a Monday afternoon after a big win on the previous Friday night, David McWilliams (yeah the same one) who was coaching at Abilene High in 1969 was telling us that the ARN had misquoted him in their Saturday morning article. The article quoted him as saying "I thought the boys gave an unbelievable effort." He said I promise you I didn't call ya'll "boys". I said my "young men" gave an unbelievable effort. Hell, this time next year some of you will be in Viet Nam. In my book that qualifies you as a man.":clap: :clap:

Two a days at Houston Oiler camp. Earl Campbell runs one lap of the required 2 mile run prior to practice and then walks off the field. The media goes crazy and starts mobbing Head Coach Bum Phillips at his daily press conference. They ask, "Coach, what are the consequences gonna be that Earl didn't finish his 2 mile run?" Bum thinks for a minute and says, " Next time we get third and 2 miles, we won't give him the ball."

Classic Bum!

[STANG RED]

I had a coach in jr. high (Coach Todd) who always smoked the nastiest 10" long nickel cigars a penny would buy. He smoked em during practice, during games, to and from games as he was driving the bus, and even in the field house. He was about 6'4" and had the longest fingers I have ever seen in my life. If you screwed up, he'd stick one of those foot long fingers through your face mask and bullwhip it around your facemask good and tight and yank you up right into his face. I can’t remember many of his cuss word laced rantings at the top of his voice, but I vividly remember being scared to death and the many spit droplets hitting my face as I tried not to inhale the most god awful breath you can possibly imagine. It was often a topic of conversation between the players, because I don’t think anyone was spared from this treatment at least a couple times.
I do remember one of his classics though because we all heard it many times.
"Boy! You couldn’t block a swingin d (lets just say, that certain part of the male anatomy)".:D

Funniest thing I ever saw: We went to Levelland for a track meet, coach Todd was driving the bus and smoking his nasty cigars as usual. Once you got headed down the road he would not pull over for anything till you got to where you were going. So we learned early on to have plenty gatorade jars and such to pee in while on these trips. As luck would have it, we parked next to the Snyder bus at the track meet. Coach should have known this was a recipe for disaster :devil: . Anyway, as was typical with this particular track meet, it was pretty cold and windy all day, so between events most of us just stayed on the bus and played cards and dreamed up what mischief we could get into, and sure enough the Snyder boys were right next to us doing the same thing. Well one thing lead to another until eventually both busses are pretty well covered with pee. If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing the film that pee leaves on a windshield once it dries, well take it from me it's pretty nasty. Well here comes the best part. The track meet finally gets over and it's time to leave. Coach Todd gets on the bus, fires it up and starts to take off. Suddenly he stops and says "what the hell is that on the windshield?" We all proceed to tell him those dang Snyder boys threw gatorade all over our buss while we were trying to relax and mind our own business. Coach Todd pulls out his handkerchief gets out of the bus and proceeds to try and wipe this dried pee off the windshield. Now that was funny enough, but when he then licks the handkerchief several times between rubbings, we all just about busted our guts laughing. And no, none of us ever had the guts to tell him later what really happened. :D

[trojan37]

One of our assisstant coaches in high school, coach Luce, always loved to tell someone during practice, as we were stretching, "Don't bend over too far, someone's gonna come along and pack your *&%# for ya if you're not careful!" It had me crying every time he said it.

[nobogey72]

Andy Malone who was the baseball coach at Abilene Cooper for many years and had back to back SCs in 86 and 87 was one of the most colorful coaches ever. He eventually got let go by Cooper and a couple of other schools for his being a little too colorful. He was a GREAT coach. Didn't watch his language very well, or ..... anyway, after any loss he made the players wait in the dugout till everyone else had left before he blasted them. This one particular game they had gotten beat by a team that had no business beating them, and everyone was waiting for his lashing. When he got around to it he said " Boys, I want to tell you something. I usually blame ya'll for losing, but today I want to take 100% of the blame." They were all pretty shocked that he was saying this. "Yeah, this one is my fault, all mine. Your probably shocked that I'm saying this but I promise you I take full responsibility. You want to know why? OK, I'll tell you why. Because I'm the one that put you bunch of no-playing Sons of Bi-----es out there!" Then he just turned around and walked straight to the field house with his hands in his back pockets as was his trademark.

[jimmyceatworld]

Okay I've already posted a couple but here's another one

We had a OL coach named Coach Langston (who looked very similar to Goldberg). He was a card. For one of those agonizing
drills he'd always make us squat down with our legs out wide like we're about to get in our stances.

He'd tell us to pretend like we're about to take a number two off the edge of the Grand Canyon. Everytime we would do the drill and not have our legs far enough apart he would run up to us and yell "YOU"RE GETTING IT ALL OVER YOUR SHOES"

lol classic
