When you can tell if you have eleven on the field by counting the few on the sideline easier.
Or, when you're running your "prevent offense" (making sure you snap the ball with one or two seconds left on the play clock) when you're behind.
Once had to tell my assistants: "Don't stand too close men, or they'll get us all with one shot."

You'll love this one blb, cause I know you love the veer.
- The offensive coordinator tells the QB he has to make one of the three reads (dive, keep, pitch) off of the defensive end alone.

cb, did the oc think the QB had blue tights with a red 'S' on his chest under his pads?!
Reminds me that one year I'm watching Michigan under Bo play USC in the Rose Bowl. First quarter, Michigan runs the outside veer at one of USC's great DE/OLBs (can't remember which one, but he played in the league for a while).
The DE knocks the TE off the double team, stones the dive back with a forearm so the QB (Rick Leach I think) keeps the ball. Same DE shuffles back outside before Leach can cut upfield so Leach pitches. Same DE runs pitch back down for no gain.
I'm thinking, "Michigan is not going to win this game."

Naw, the OC was, and still is, a friggin idiot. I was working as the RB/LB coach for the freshman squad and this guy was our OC- he is the worst coach I have ever seen. He didn't understand how to run the veer (the rest of us did), so he scrapped it. That was the majority of the offense- if he didn't understand it, it was done. Here's another good example of his incredible play calling prowess-
-Its been a bad game when the OC calls three step drops with mirrored inside slant routes repeatedly, even after the defense adjusts into a 4-3 Cover 2 with Sam and Will playing a yard outside of the defensive ends. Its been a bad game when two of these slant routes end up picked and taken for six AND THE A**HOLE calls it again!!!!!!!!!

When your starting stud fullback sprains his ankle stepping in a hole on the field in pregame warmups.
When your starting left tackle dislocates his shoulder in the same pregame warmup without hitting ANYONE.

-When a dad hands you a 50 page playbook on "how to use his son more effectively" and then calls the AD when you don't use it.

when you spend an entire week of 2 hour practices teaching a kid with "potential" to play left tackle for the injured starter and he quits the next day *before the game.*

How about when a kid quits 2 days before your last game, because he doesn't think he'll get many carries.
Or, when a mom comes down on the sideline to tell you to play her son. Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Or, one of your best players shows up without his jersey or helmet.

-When a parent calls and complains that you are only playing the African American kids on the team. Yep- I'm starting both of them.

When it takes you 45 minutes to get to the freeway, only 5 minutes away, because the bus-driver doesn't believe the "Road Under Construction" sign. He has to drive down the road to see if it really is under construction, and gets to the construction sight and can barely turn the bus around. Then instead of continuing on the open road to the free way, he has to back track several miles to an intersection he's familiar with. Needless to say we were late to the game, and yes we lost.

Got a similar one, coach. When a 20 man bus shows up to pick up your 45 man team.
