Only guy I've ever heard use "Coacher" was Baseball coach at our university when I was in school (40 years ago).
He was from south of the Mason-Dixon so maybe it was a cultural thing. But I really don't know.

I've heard "coacher" and now....a few of us use..."Coachy". Have no idea where/when Coacher came from.

Buddy of mine, Basketball coach I worked with would call me "Crotch" from time to time.
He was kidding. I think.

I don't know the answer either, but I coached with a guy who always referred to us that way! Not sure I ever heard him say just "Coach" actually.

I say Coachie all the time. My OL coach in college always said that so I guess I kind of picked it up from him.

Coach, the only time I've heard that was from a guy who used to work for us. He called everybody "Coacher" or "Coachman". He's a good guy so it semi-stuck with the old timers on the staff.

Never heard it.... Calling someone "Cocher" or "Cochie" may be a good way to get your A$$ kicked in the U.P.!!!

Every time I've coached baseball all the coaches there used it. I am not sure but I can almost guarantee it comes from there

So Coacher might actually have came from baseball coaches, interesting.

So is every coach a coacher? Or this a higher level of respect? Maybe coacher comes from calling the baseball coach skipper? Instead of coach, hes a coacher? Man this is a weird thread.

First time I heard "Coacher" or "Coachie" was at my first AFCA convetion years back. Seemed like all of the old timers used it more as a term of endearment than anything else - a bit less formal than just the title of "Coach."
Not sure where it came from, but as a young guy at my first convention, it kind of made me feel like a full-fledged part of the coaching fraternity when an older coach I'd never met before called me "Coacher" in passing just for the hell of it.

I haven't heard it.
I haven't heard of a coach being call 'crotch', BUT where I am from, the term, or rather pronunciation of coach is 'co-atch'. People laugh at me when I slip back into my up bringing and pronounce it that way.

My brother calls me co-atch, and it is funny you say baseball coaches, because it was the first baseball coach I worked with that called me coacher. Great guy!!!!

Good friend of mine used to use it all the time, so I took to calling him the same. When my wife heard me accidentally refer to another coach as "coacher" she was like "You can't call him that! That's your name for Jim!"
I didn't realize...apparently my use of the work coacher was cheating on Jim. Poor Jim.

Baseball coaches add -er to the end of everything. When I coached baseball I almost got myself in trouble doing this on accident. We had a kid named Nick and I called him Nick-er...a few people looked at me suspiciously and I had no clue why...then it sunk it sounded like a racial slur! No more -er's for me.
My favorite player to do this with was named Cruz...Cruzer just sounded cool to me.

My Frosh/JV football coach used it all the time, several of us picked it up from him. We have a lot of strange habits that he instilled in us...
I've always had it associated with being a southern thing, personally.

At one of my college stops, we had an OL coach who called ever coach "Coacher" This was back in the early 90's.
