When the secondary coach asks you before the game who is eligible to catch a pass. Or when your Defensive Coordinator, asks "why we never send 2 men in motion?" Hahahaha! Are you serious? WOW!

you know its going to be a long night when the referee walks over to your sideline and tells you that your nicest, kindest, classiest, meekest, quiet, harmless, smartest kid is going to get tossed out of the game for unsportsmanlike conduct.

We were hoping to suprise the opponent who was much better than our team with an onside kick to start the game. As our players are standing there watching, they pick the ball up and score. 7-0 with only 25 seconds off the clock. OUCH!!

...when your stud QB says he was up until 3:00 am and has forgotten all the plays (tells me this as he is running off the field after his first series last saturday)
...when a parent comes down to the sideline to give his son alergy medicine and when we yell for the player, the parent responds back, "he shouldn't even be playing!!" (This was a dad treating his son for minor alergies!!)
...when my LB ask, "Where do I make my strength call too again?"

The opening game of the season on the road against the #1 team in the state...
1st quarter... they muff our first punt of the game, we go for it all, and they pick it off.. 1 play later 60+ yd TD, we fumble the kick off on our 9... they score on 2 plays.. we drive the field and our running back gets stood up, they rip the ball out of his arms while he is still driving, they run it back 60+ yds for a TD, on the ensuing kick off we break a big one, but our returner is leveled by our own guy who was running the wrong way...

when the REFEREE says coach there was no pass interference because that ball was uncatchable. which you kindly have to remind him we are playing by Federation rules and not college or pro. to which he responds they are all the same basically

you know its going to be a long night when the referees wont allow your best player to play in the cast hes got in....and hes been playing in it all season....
then the crew tells you that the balls have too much/little air in them
....then you get a sideline warning after the first kickoff.....
....oh yeah, and the head ref looks JUST LIKE the head coach on the other side...

...you're playing on the road and at the end of your first possession your field goal kicker splits the uprights, the referee rules "No good...too high!"

First play of the game against a team that thrives off Opponents mistakes and maybe better than you. You run IZ first play of the game and bust it for 16 yards...kid fumbles. Had a chance to beat those guys, but denied.

on the night of the first game you send your team into the half time room with about six minutes to go before game time. HOWEVER - the first kid misses the door to the halftime room and goes into the women's restroom instead. The rest of the team follows. They can't turn around and come out until the last kid goes in. And I'm standing about thirty yards away and can't do ANYTHING ... but laugh. Oh yeah. Long night - even longer season. Still makes me laugh though. August of 1989.

One year a JV kid forgot his cleats for an away game...honestly surprised this doesn't happen more often after working with kids all these years.
Third round of the playoffs we muff the opening kick-off, they drive it 10 yards for the first score. Ensuing kick-off, we muff it again. 10 yards later they are up 14 to none with only two minutes gone off the clock.

Before a game last season, coaches and I were looking around our locker room and noticed two of our starters were missing. We waited, tried calling their cell phones, only to get their voice mail. We go through our entire pregame and come back into the locker room to finish pregame prep and pray. Seconds before prayer, the come through the door looking a bit flustered, but not speaking to anyone. I walk over to the first one and ask, "Where the heck have you been!" He responds (with bugged eyes and a lost look on his face), "My girlfriend is having a baby..." I look at the other guy and ask, "Well, what's your excuse?" He said, "I had to drive her to the hospital."

So here we are this year against or Rival we have a legit shot at beating these guys we go into the game 3-1 they are 1-3 we win they are out of the playoff picture for the first time ever.
-Opening play they kick off to us we fumble the ball on the return on our 3 yardline they come -away with 3pts. -They kick off we muff the retunr again (different kid) they get it on the 5 they punch it it. -They kick off we field it finally! But get stopped on offence inside our own 10. Keep in mind we are in Canada so we can concede a single in the endzone and kickoff to them saving field position. I say to my best player who is also our punter: "take a knee IN the endzone" he fields the snap and takes a knee................... on our 1.... I laughed at this point that was all I could do I just laughed
We lost the game all of their points but 1 TD came off of mistakes like that where we gave them the ball inside our 10. Our kids were deflated it took 2 weeks to get out of that funk.

When our starting LT has anxiety so bad he can't even step onto the practice field. He is an all conference type kid who is a beast and he's been mentally reduced to a kitten. His back-up then goes on a freak out because he doesn't feel that he got enough love from us during the season. So we move the toughest player on the team to that tackle spot just in case and then the other kid freaks out even more when he's already admitted he has no clue whats going on after 12 weeks and a summer of practicing the plays.
When the OC says were going to loose 42-0 and the game is 2 days away.

When the Water Boy scenario happens early in the game.
Player picks off the ball. Fumbles it. Picks it up (bounces pretty much back into his hands) and scores the TD with no one in the vicinity of 20 yards of him still.

I've forgot to change the QBs wrist band.
I've had the negative yard punt.
I've had the starting DLineman say to me 5 minutes before kickoff he didn't feel good and couldn't play.
The one I can add: Opening kickoff - We're going onside! I'll catch them sleeping. Ball goes to the biggest, meanest, FASTEST stud OLinemen on the opposing team. He scampers 50 yards for a TD. Nobody would touch him.

The busses for an hour and a half ride get there an hour late and one has a governor on the engine, then;
You make your planned stop at a rest area for dinner and the food gets there a half hour late and consists of subs with mayo. There isn't enough for everybody which is good because then;
Half of the team is puking in the locker room before the game. Since they drank Gatorade with dinner it's a horrendous Exorcist-looking purple. Then;
You find out that the normally efficient equipment manager has forgotten the footballs and tees.

you know its going to be a long night when the other team returns a deep kick for a td immediately after you instruct your kicker "dont kick it to #32, kick it to me at the sideline" and then in the same game, you tell your kicker " onsides left" and he kicks it to the middle and ITS RUN BACK FOR A TD.
always makes for a fun evening.

-when you run an onside kick three times in a row and still dont get the ball.
-When you line up a 5-3 defense(you're the scout D) against an unbalanced are told they wont do that in the game and the frist play unbalanced is called they go out of a 5-3 and stuff you for a -6 yd loss.
-When there are 14 personal fouls called in a game, five of which happen inthe first quarter!
- No one packs the emergency clips, washers, screw kit and you have to scavange parts off an injured players helmet.
- Ref tells you and another coach that instead of using your program's ball boys he will use his sons at a game at your stadium.

- when 2 of your starting receivers/DBs call 10 minutes before the bus leaves and says "hey I don't think were gonna be able to make it tonight, we got alot of homework"
- A team puts their best athlete at QB for a direct snap, busted play, scrambles and manages to hurdle, juke, stiff arm, or out run all 11 of your players on defense
- your kicker sprains his ankle on a chest bump
- We are playing a double tight wing T team. We call 5-3 Cover Zero and our 2 corners blitz instead of covering the TE and WING who release on a play action, TE catches it and runs 80 yards for a touchdown. HC asks the corner what the hell he was doing and he replies "I thought cover 0 mean't 0 people were covering anyone" (being completely serious)
-An I team is running toss and instead of coming downhill on the play, our Will backer drops into coverage. We yank him out and he says "I was watching for toss pass"

- When one of your players is listening to his I-pod during pregame. This is the same kid that can't remember he is on PAT team and KO.

Or when you see an obvious off sides, you look over at the ref and he's holding up a Yellow Card.

Make the playoffs as the last seed, walk into your locker room Monday morning and you're starting TE and FS, who are both sophomores, have their basketball shoes with them. When you ask them why, the TE goes "We're going to basketball today, right?"

The refereee has to tell our freshman coach after each flag when its better to accept or decline a penalty.

Last week of the season, the opposing team breaks the huddle with 12...not a penalty in arkansas, but they line up with trips to one side, a Split to the other side and 2 backs in the back field with the quarterback, and yes 5 lineman, count them up 12. An assistant coach hollars out, they have 12 men on the field, flag comes out....sideline warning on the coach who told the official they had 12 men lined up...official comes back and says I don't need your help to do my job.
Later in the game DC is telling the same ref that the oposing team in holding the OLB...the coach who previously got flagged was talking with a player and said it is obvious that holding isn't called in our conference. The player replied back that the two defensive coaches who were talking to the refs were going to get thrown out, the coach replied back, the officials should be able to interact socially with other human beings at which point a second flag comes out on the coach. The official turns to the head coach and says I am tired of his mouth you are going to have to do something about him.

This was my semi-pro team inflicting the damage to the oponents:
...when the team's 5'2" 130lb placekicker is taking bad field goal snaps and is throwing touchdown passes.
My coach made this comment. I was the PK and we won 64-0
