Just was thinking about our first game of the year and remembered some of the calls we had on our sideline, and was wondering what the funniest playcall or player adjustment you have done/heard while coaching?
So, in our defense, when we go cover 3, we require the strong safety to smoke (SS blitz). Well, the kid we had in at SS we have nicknamed "Good Kid". So, here's the call from our sideline..."Good Kid! You gotta smoke, good kid. Get down there and smoke, good kid!"
But, probably doesn't beat us rotating players on offense. At one point, we needed a new F and Z. So, here's the call from our OC, "Where's my F and Z?!" But I'm sure you can get what it sounded like.
What about y'all?

We had a Right Backer Blitz named Rock. If we wanted to show the blitz we'd call it Hard. So I had to change that terminology after screaming "Mike! You gotta be Rock Hard when you see that Tight End!" Did not go over well.
Kinda similar and kinda different. I had to tell my D Tackle that he was on defense and not offense. He thought he was the O Tackle for three plays. He kept driving the OL about five yards into the backfield.

And our right olb gap exchange blitz with End is Rope.. and if we want to 'show blitz' is ' 'show us' 'Nasty rope show us' |

Not something I said but I had a signal that was like you were pulling a rope with both hands. It was typically a read but one year we wanted to auto give it, that signal from another play that we wanted to give was hands together and spreading out away from the body. So when you put the two together in the heat of the game it was me pulling the rope and hands exploding outwards. When you are going fast and the hands are dropping towards your belt or below it looks pretty crass.

Our signal for twins formation is..well..bouncing the 'twins'. Always gets a chuckle or two.

I am not coaching this year but my son is. I was in the stands and many of the folks around me knew very little football. On a punt return play the punt hit the ground and I yelled Peter! They all looked at me and said what??
I said peter, don't touch it!!!!
The females all had a laugh!

I had buddies that coached on a D who had a playcall called "Ram Blizzard"
The kid who would call the D always said it funny though. He would kind of slur the words in a nasally voice and it would sound like "RAMBLAAAAYZER! RAMBLAAAAYZER!" Hearing their impersonations always had me dying.
Also I had a Mexican kicker. Spoke Spanish at home and all that. Awesome kid. But one week in practice we install our middle onside kick. I call it "monkey". Our boy gets the the huddle (we kick from bunch) and calls "Chango! Chango!" (Spanish for monkey). I couldnt help but laugh. That call was "Chango" for the rest of the year.

I signal in blitzes and stunts from sideline, and we have one where we send everybody called "All-Out". The signal is like Superman opening his jacket to reveal the S on his chest. The players love this blitz and they chose that signal. Anyway, late in the 4th quarter I thought I'd call that blitz and the Strong Safety yells, "hey! All-Out!" an does the Superman thing, while the rest of the team stands up, does the chest signal thing and at the top of their lungs yell "All-Out!" Then they all crowded the LOS and I swear I saw te other team shake with fear. It was so cheesy, yet intimidating I guess because they muffed the snap!

Worked one year for a guy who named every player on the defense a different name, and named each blitz some nonsensical name. We had OLB called monster and wolf with blitzes called snot and booger. We spent the year running lots of booger monster blitzes to the wide side and some snot wolf from the boundary.

We have a stunt called "Fly."
Used to signal it in by simulating zipping-unzipping my "fly."
Until my wife told me I probably shouldn't do that in front of a thousand or so people.
So now I flap my arms.

Our original playcall for jet reverse was Vegas, trying to think of a symbol for that because it was a homerun play (kill shot), we just decided to name the play OJ. Our signal for it is a mime throat slash. The kids didn't get it but the parents got a good laugh out of it.

They all looked at me and said what?? I said peter, don't touch it!!!! The females all had a laugh! I once had an official throw a flag on us because our players were yelling "Peter" on a short punt. When I explained it, he said he had never heard of it. Fortunately, the other officials talked him out of it. |

(as in hot potato) for call to get away from punt that has not been fielded because I didn't want to explain to female administrators-BOE members-Moms what "Peter" meant. I'm not as cute, cuddly, and lovable as John. newpride's post gives me another reason. |

I used to have signal where I put my index fingers and thumbs to form a triangle. In the heat of the moment my thumbs would flex causing the triangle to became elongated. In the opinion of our Mike backer who would take the signals....(please excuse the rezbonics) "Hey coach, those look like geed lips."

We used to have a defensive front called "G" and a coverage called "Spot". I'll let you put the two together.
Can't make this crap up!

I have 3 kids named Sam on my defense. Every time I say "hey SAM" all 3 of them and all the SAM linebackers come. All 3 of the kids named Sam, all play linebacker but none of them play SAM linebacker. LOL what a logistical nightmare. |

It was a "sure thing, go to" kinda defense when called. Only went to it on special occassions...unfortunately...the down, distance and "mood" of the game had to be just right. |

In our playbook, we create acronyms for our blocking schemes. So, our fold block between backside guard and center is labeled "CIG" (center'n'guard). Well, we also run power\, which I'm sure everyone knows. So the call for that is, well, "{censored}".
Head coach looks at me on the sidelines one night and says to me, "All these genius OC's out there with their fancy terminology and no one has ever realized you can call the Power, {censored}."
Nothing like hearing a kid asking what the play is from the sideline and hearing 5 coaches yelling "{censored}! Run {censored}!"

The fact that the DC signalling this is a sixty year old man was even funnier!
