Ahhh man my Junior College coach was a gold mine of quotes. One of my favorites was "Dont tell me how rough the waters are just bring the ship in!!!" Mine is somewhat similar to this one. I don't know where it came from but I had a group of kids a few years ago that when I was "coaching them up" they always had something to say or some excuse so I screamed at a kid.. "Don't tell me about the labor just show me the baby!" Another one and I say this all the time...."The only thing that sucks worse than practice....is sucking."

At camp last week one of our backs dropped the ball.
Trying to reinforce "ball security" (in an apparently less-than-humorous or obvious way), I said "Hey Drew - new rules this year: You've got to have the ball to score!"
One of our other backs sidled up to me and asked, "Coach, what were the rules last year?"

For some reason I always yell "Take that!" when QBs throw up a duck into traffic. Something I've always done. I think I got it from a previous coach of mine. It doesn't go over so well with the HC when you forget you're on offense at a 7on7 Camp and he's the OC/QB Coach lmao.

DC yelled "play football" yesterday. I thought of this thread and chuckled.

I do chuckle at the "be an athlete" or "play football" or "be a player" comments.
But I also find myself saying them, but I think I say them in context. For instance, yesterday we working on double slant route concepts. I coached up the inside guy telling him exactly what to do. One step hard slant inside attacking the inside shoulder of OLB. Once you get inside get back vertical to stay away from inside LB's and create a lane for the QB to throw. But I did finish it up with, "be an athlete and break into the open space." LOL

Also if a linebacker has specific reads and it ends up being a counter and his read takes him away from the play, he should be an athlete and redirect to make the play. There are times when it makes sense.

I do think that there's place for a lot of these sayings under the right circumstances. I've said "Be an athlete" during off-season agility work to guys who were stiff and thinking about the drill too much. If you're watching film and a lineman is just standing around, "Hit somebody" sounds like a perfectly reasonable response.
I don't think that most of us have a problem with some of these phrases if used at the right time. Hell, I've used them. Probably most of us have. I think that the complaints are about guys who just yell mindless stuff during games because they don't have anything substantial to say.

Line Coach Porn, "Squeeze their titties!!" My line for running backs when it comes to ball security, "There's only one word you need to know when it comes to ball security, and as teenage boys I don't expect you'll have a hard time remembering it, 'nipple'. If the ball never leaves your nipple you'll never fumble it. When you're running with it, the ball should rub your nipple off." Not a 'mindless coaching' type of line, I use it every year, and it seems to work. But your quote made me think of it.

How about repeating a phrase? I do it all the time. "Quick feet, Quick feet" never realized how much I repeat phrases until a guy I coached with pointed it out. Pretty funny now that I'm aware of it. Very common Pay attention anytime you hear someone public speaking that hasn't taken a class in it They repeat the same words all the time Mhm Mkay Ok Right Stuff like that Kind of like Mr. Mackey Mmkay My word of this season has been "boom" Never said it before For whatever reason this year it has been something I say outloud as I watch a play and see the desired thing I've been looking for Might be counter and I see the kick out coming Boom Drop back pass and i see wr about to open up I say boom when I'd throw the ball Don't know why or how it started but I know it's brand new Boom Ok John Madden...your just a small step away from doing tinactin foot spray commercials.

Any time a kid is lost on a play or doesn't give great effort...the whole staff says..."he's playing find the sausage "
It's pretty funny bc it's a staff thing...every coach has said it and nobody really knows who brought it.

We have one of those guys that is just gonna be part of the program forever. Not a coach but has been a coach before. He always has his opinion on things and likes to voice it a lot. So we had a scrimmage the other day and he gave us his take on it. He created a new phrase for me that I told the HC I was gonna start using during defense practice. Said our DBs need to "Swat Balls". Maybe it was just the context and knowing this guy but I still havent quit laughing from hearing that one.

I can't quite figure out the juxtaposition on these, but then again they come from 2 different sources.
"That boy is slower than smoke off a turd."
"He's quicker than owl crap."

Our QB club president is good friends with us coaches and we have known him since high school. So he's describing an encounter with a young woman one time and say her certain body part was as big as a soup bowl. We died laughing and immediately the next practice when some kid was soft or being a p#$$y, he was a "soup bowl". That was a nice way of calling the kid what he really was and not getting in trouble. We always get a laugh out of it.

Okay I'll tell one myself with this one. Coaching up how a DB should return an INT during film session. Our rule is: get to the hash, work to the numbers, score on the sideline. Today, from a scrimmage we had the other day, a back up CB got the over thrown ball and runs all the way across the field and gets tackled by an OL and there was just the RB on the side the INT was made who had run a swing route.
"Hey Bo, run away from the fat people!"

"[Player's Name] did you take a dip**** pill this morning?!" - Says the bossman after explaining the most simple thing multiple times before starting a drill......yet said player still asks what shoulder to hit with when it has been covered over and over again.
Personally I probably say "On the hop" and "be an athlete" more times than I can count in a single practice........Had our SR starting QB point out to me the other day that when correcting a kid's form in the weight room I always say "Feel the difference?" when they tweak what they are doing .

One of the best ones I heard was from a Coach when I was playing. "Simon, you look like a d!ck with no hole to go into." I lost it, certainly has a place and paints a picture but haven't brought myself to use it yet.

Our HC used to say, He doesn't know whether his a$$hole is bored or punched. He had been a machinist for 10 years before going back to be a teacher!

In that same vein - "He doesn't know if a football is pumped or stuffed."

I repeated this one in another thread, but in terms dealing with adversity with matching up "your'n" versus "their'n"
"I felt like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest"

Not a quote, but another thread reminded me of this.
Had a young buck on staff. Good coach, but full of piss and vinegar. He challenges the whole staff to contest to see who could lose the most weight during 2 a days. So about half of the staff kick in $10 a piece, mostly the fat arses like me thinking I can just skip the daily stop Krispy Kreme and lose a bunch of weight.
This cat isn't long out of college and in decent shape. So the first day, he pulls out this suit to wear to practice that looks like it's made out of a silver trash bag. Something a wrestler would wear to cut weight over night.
Now young buck grew up north in the Great Lakes region. We were in the Deep South here in SC. In the summer here, you can break a sweat waiting for the garage door to roll up.
So first day of practice. We're a fast paced, run everywhere practice team; and about period 4 I look around to see where young buck is for a drill and he is stripping down to the buff on the side of the field getting that trash bag off.

Brings me to a great fable, young bull says to old bull, see all those cows down there? I am gonna run down there and breed one and takes off. Old bull starts strolling toward cows. Young bull runs back and says, aren't you gonna run down there and breed one? No son, I am gonna walk down and breed them all!
