You are thankful to be spending the Thanksgiving Holiday at work instead of off b/c you are still in the playoffs.

1. Looking for a non coaching shirt to wear for thanksgiving dinner and the best you can do is a nike shirt in your school color. 2. My two year old ask to go to the dawg house hourly. 3. My 5 year old goes to a shriek show and there is a big conference room and she ask her mom what is that and mom said, that's a meeting room. My 5 year old that's where daddy and the coaches meet. 4. My two year old only answers to coach. 5. My two year old is sorting the 2 liter drinks and calls them coach coke. I only drink water. 6. They get ticked when we go to a baseball game and the football lights are not on. 7. I throw a Gatorade into the endzone at halftime. When I get home my wife said did you get mad tonight? No. Why did you throw the Gatorade? Just did. Thanks! What do you mean? Your son ran and got it and spilled it all over him! I had to leave the game and change him with him screaming I'm going to miss the kickoff.

You might be a FB coach if... you've ever rolled down your window to yell at a jogger "keep your elbows in!"

I live in a dorm...I have a big white board, two tiny ones, erasable markers everywhere, a diagram of whatever play/offense I'm interested in that day is drawn up on the big board hanging on the wall, as well as three or four notebooks dedicated to just football/play diagram doodling. I was lying in bed one night trying to fall asleep, I was daydreaming/dreaming about how to approach an essay exam coming up. I was thinking about if I should just procrastinate and write it (don't think about it, and plow through it), or should I organize it and make it precise. I was deciding if I should put the compare or contrast portion first, then how to approach the causes, which then lead to the decision to plow through the essay and call a straight up FB trap, then I would get back to our zone game, then when I have the essay all well and organized, I hit it with counter trey. Then my eyes widened and I said to myself "WTF?" That's awesome....

I have magnets on my fridge for offensive and defensive players, definitely one of my better ideas.

- You hold your friends recently born child JUST like a football and inform people that it is more than safe being held like that and proceed to show them how to cover the baby with the other arm in case theres danger (true story) - Your own mother doest phone for the weekly Sunday night phonecall after a loss to a rival, because you just mumble for 10 minutes before she gives up. - Your girlfriend plans seeing you around training. - The same girlfriend who had never played an Xbox before is now an expert on my one after being left for hours alone while I watch gamefilm on my laptop. - There is a Facebook group about you and your 'sayings' - Calling in sick to work is ok, but NEVER call in sick to football - Your phone conists of players, coaches, ex players, ex coaches and maybe some family and friends - The night after a game is spent talking to other coaches and arranging film - Nearly all fo your Facebook friends are football related - You wish youtube had less music and more football - (this is true and bearing in mind I am British and most British girls have no idea about football) When you get a new girlfriend you sit her down and tell her "We need to talk about something". Then proceed to explain this thing called football and how it WILL become a part of her life. - You are relieved that all the coaches wives/girlfriends get on because it means your life is going to be alot easier. - Your players call your partner Mrs Coach - You learn other formations for no other reason than because they are 'there' - You take better care of your coaching polo shirts than any other item of clothing you own - CoachHuey.com is top fo your favourites - You dream of bigger things only to find you love the people you are with - You hate other teams for no other reason than it means you gotta wait a whole year to get revenge on their win - You start telling your friends what sort of things to do with their kid to get them football ready...... even though they are soccer players

My dad held me like a football, and the nurse backed him up!
This is the same man who is convinced that at four days old I opened my eyes to watch Reggie Ho kick a game-winner over Michigan.

At first you are angry that your son is going to be born during football season and kick yourself for your lack of timing. then when you get the call to go to the hospital and it's opening Thursday for the pro season you are OK with it because practice is already done and at least you won't have to pretend to actually teach on Friday now, you can concentrate on the game. Your son is born during the opening kickoff return (true Story) as Reggie Bush catches the ball and you are convinced that it's obvious he's destined for glory. Your 3 year old daughter nicknames her newborn brother Jukes because he was born while Reggie Bush was catching the kickoff and "that means he's gonna be fast and do jukes too"

...If you carry a portable DVD player to the film swap and you make your wife drive so you can start breaking it down on the drive home to get a time advantage on the other coach. Had a coach do that to me a couple years ago.

I work at UPS on the preload.
If you are loading the trucks some of the odds numbers are on the right and the even numbers are on the left. Being a former offensive lineman that remembered playside and backside why the hell are the even numbers on the left side.

Had a coach do that to me a couple years ago. With some of the guys we've had to trade with that's a good idea to make sure that you get the video that you're supposed to.

You might be a FB coach if... you're looking for big lineman type at your daughter middle school when you pick her up, asking her question like what grade is in and where is he going to high school

You see an ad with X and Os drawn on it and it drives you up a wall that the TE is running a route despite being covered on the line by the receiver.
If you're in college, you open your notebook to study for a final and it takes you twice as long to read everything between all the plays you've drawnup.

People refuse to watch a football game with you because you rewind it over and over again to figure out what everyone's doing on a particular play. Frankly I don't know why everyone's complaining...there's no commercials to watch that way!!

Along the lines of the thread...does anyone else here have problems sleeping if they start thinking about football right before they go to bed? If I come up with some great idea or think of something on film I should be looking for that gives us an edge I get all pumped up and then have a lot of trouble sleeping. This is why I dvr NFL Matchup on ESPN and watch it later instead of staying up to watch it at 12:30 AM. Can't sleep otherwise!!

Lol, this is pretty much how I started playing football. A coach saw me at a party and told me I should play

You see a school has posted an opening for head coach, you do some basic research and see that they went O-9 last year and scored 26 points all year, you email the principal and find out that at this time there are no teaching openings...and you're interested anyway because you think you are the one who can turn it around!

If you measure everything in "yards" in terms of distance.
"My office is 6 yards from the 4th floor elevator"
"That A-hole is tailgating me! He's only about 2 yards off my bumper!"
"I only had about 5 or 6 more yards to go with the mower before I got stung by the damn hornet. Made me run screaming for about 40 yards before I settled down!"

It's even worse when you do this in s country that uses the metric system

Just for a reaction, I have referred to a football field as being "half a furlong," or "five chains."

My wife bought me a laser pointer for Christmas so I wouldn't have to get up when I wanted to show her something on film, or during a game.
I love having DVR and not so I can record shows. I love being able to watch a game, any game, and being able to say "run that back".
