Gotta tell this story. One of my mentor coaches told me this. At the time he was coaching in middle Tenn. His team pulls up to the field house and he notices that there is a large oak tree with two farmers standing under it. To get to the field house his team must pass by the tree. Coach also noticed that one of the farmers is holding a chain. The chain is running up into the tree. As soon as the last player gets off the bus the farmer yanks the chain. A large chipanzee jumps down out of the tree and screams at the players. About twenty minutes later he gets them back off the bus. Needless to say them got pummeled.

When the referee comes over in the first quarter and asks, "Coach...you want a running clock the rest of the game?"
When the local hospital is out of ambulances and they have to start the mediflights.

When you have a ton of speed on your team and you are checking out the field at an away game. You say to one of the guys from the home team "wow you guys got a ton of rain this week huh" and he replies "nope hasnt rained in 3 weeks" and chuckles

Our team is from Ada, Okla and we go to Sprindale, Ark to play. There Oklahoma State officals there and we get flagged for BS calls. Their lineman are kicking my D-lines head throwing punches. I go to the side judge and tell him and the threatens to throw me out of the game for correcting him!!! We lost 32-0. Seems like we were playing the guards.

bad sign during a game last year- late season matchup between two undefeated teams for the district title: state's leading rushing team (us) vs. state's leading passing team (not us). Both defenses in top 5 yds./pts.
With a 18-10 lead late in the 2nd quarter, we lose both starting corners for the season during the same series (3 plays apart).
We lost 29-26; their QB ended up 26-34 passing.

Two years ago as a freshman head coach, I lost my starting qb to a concusion in a sophmore game and of course the freshman had a game the following day. So I had to start a coaches son at qb who was 5'1 with two left feet. Then I lost my backfield in the same game and my back up tailback was out with a broken finger the previous week. And on top of that there were only 15 players to begin with, so I had no depth. Lost the game 35-0. Taught me to develop players early, the next year I redeemed myself with a 48-6 win with more players developed!

Bad Sign -
Your guys are too slow getting off the field for halftime and the opposing band somehow scores 6 on you!

<<600 points given up and 10 losses still give me cold sweats in the middle of the night. >> _I have HAD that season!
Bad sign- When you Dress down 17 and the visiting team pulls up in TWO busses and the coach tells you this is the "travelling" team, and they left twenty freshmen at home.
Bad sign-When your QB hands off the ball to the Pulling Guard on the first play of the game. (he did get two yards though!)
When your field goal falls short on the five yard line, and the Ref picks it up and whistles it dead with six kids running for the ball.
When the opposing team files a complaint before the game accusing your 300lb HC of "hiding in the shadows" and scouting practices. (Musta been one BIG shadow!)
When your QB in the fourth quarter of a very tight game asks if the replacement QB can come in now.
When the cheerleaders are practicing on your end of the field, on a hot day, last practice before the first game in things that mother shouldnt have let them wear outside, and the Cheer coach looks at you and says "why?" when you ask them very politely to move down where the 8 year olds are practicing.

I saw this happen to another frosh coach once...
his team was warming up and clearly cocky and over confident...theyd been warming up with the other guys jv on the field...suddenly you could hear the thunder of like 50 studs pounding their thigh pads as they came over the hill from warm ups on another field...his kids peed themselves.

Bad sign #1: We ran a trap and both guards pulled...right into eachother.
#2: Our LT thought the QB had thrown the ball already so he turned around and the ball hit him in the facemask...bounced up and got picked off and returned for a TD.
#3: When the coach from the other team says to me "coach I'll call the dogs off tonight when we get up by 50." They got up 55-00 then we scored twice.

Bad sign- When you standing on the sideline just seconds before kick-off and you look at the sideline official and you notice two things. First, he is wearing a mesh hat (to cheap to buy a fitted cap). Second, he has a tin of tobacco in his back pocket. Nothing screams I'm a professional more then that "smooth tobacco flavor".

Coach, Up here it's against state law to have tobacco on school grounds. Many local police departments will issue citations for smoking on school property... It's a small small world.

Can't believe I forgot this one. Freshman reserve game. Our mike goes down, so we send in our reserve. For the next 2 plays he lines up in a three point stance 4 yards off the ball. Finally I had enough and called a time out. Went out and asked him what he was thinking. He told me he thought it would be harder for the offensive line to find him if he was in a three point stance. I responded then why have you been on your back the past 2 plays?

When it is the first sophomore game of the year, the temperature at game time (only 10 in the morning) is already 90 degrees, you have 20 kids stretching, and the other team has 60! Then, when the game starts, your best lineman is tugging his shirt (meaning he needs a sub) after two plays! But, we won somehow!

When your RB suggests a play to the QB in the huddle, and the proposed play is "a long, incomplete pass".

When the first snap of the game goes over the QB's head and into the endzone for a safety on your 1st play from scrimmage. The ensuing kick is misplayed and goes out of bounds inside the 5 yard line.
