All of the kids joke that one of our players is my 'Son', because I took him under my wing two years ago as a freshman and found a position for him at OLB, and he's played very well. So his best friend, our starting rover, jokes that he is my nephew. At our awards banquet this year I was presenting an award to our rover, and right before I gave it to him I called him 'my nephew'. Now there are about 150 football and cheerleading parents who actually think his mom is my sister, and lots of people have been telling her that they didn't realize we're related. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

The parents at the new school I am at have requested that the AD install a suggestion box by the game field's concession stand. This way, during games, the "fans" can make suggestions that the coaches can use during halftime. Great idea ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) .....I just wonder how we can possibly win on the road??

One time, I was down in one of my assistant coaches room. He was also the baseball coach. He had a couple of bats leaning up against the wall. A couple of our players were in there also and one of them picked up a bat and started softly swinging it. I said "put that down, your not left handed. Thats a left handed bat." The kid so "O, I thought it felt kinda weird". Then he pick up another one and was like "what about this one" I said "Now that one is a right handed bat". So he started swinging it and said "Now this is what I am talking about."

A bunch of years ago I was coordinating a HS varsity defense. We were pretty good and were going into week 9 and had only given up 28 points for the season. We had 10 senior starters and a sophomore DB who ended up playing D1 RB at Nevada.
We put in a Weakside Corner Blitz against our rival. We called it "WHACK". We were going through walkthroughs on Monday and we were going through the potential checks to get out of WHACK. The sophomore raises his hand and says, "Coach?" If we end up checking out of WHACK do you want me to just yell out WHACK OFF? 10 seniors hit the ground laughing so hard and the sophomore had no idea what he had just said as he was so serious. I just looked at him and said, "Chris, I think we'll come up with a different name for the stunt."

We were talking about the American Revolution. I asked the class "Who can tell me the name of the Patriot secret society that promoted the revolution?"
One of my first-year football players...great kid...big heart...but obviously watches too much TV responds by raising his hand and saying "The Sons of Anarchy".
That's why the Americans defeated the British in the American Revolution...the Continental Army rode into battle on Harleys!
Reminds me of that commercial where George Washington is leading his troops against the British from a Dodge Charger.

ESPN First Take had Rick Minter on this morning as he was the coach at Cincinnati and had Rex Ryan and Mike Tomlin on his staff, although I don't think at the same time. Anyway, he was telling the the story I've heard before about Rex Ryan trying to se the tone by blitzing safeties in a 7 on 9 run drill. The problem was he said that Ryan blitzed the "A Hole" instead of A Gap!
The hosts had to explain when they returned from commercial break that he wasn't calling anyone an "A Hole and explained what he meant! Sounded similar to a couple stories shared on this site!

Our manager once disappeared for 45 min looking for the punt tee. A week later he was missing for over an hour trying to find the left handed footballs.

So, your manager found a way to go and take a nap in the equipment room? Good for him. Play any more jokes on him and he'll have time for a part-time job.

I know of a situation where a QB's mother was actually given a headset. No joke. WTF, How did that work out? Badly. The family got the previous HC fired a year after that school's only playoff berth, got their handpicked backstabbing assistants installed as HC and OC for the kid's senior year, and she got her headset. The kid even got a say in practice schedules and the depth chart. Team went 5-6, but that was with a couple of Div. 1aa and All-State kids and about 4 other kids who got recruited by smaller schools. They lost at least 3 big games that year to inferior opponents by calling passes with a lead in the 4th quarter in an effort to pad the kid's stats and get him on the news.

My best football story -- had to take my twin 6yo boys to practice with me one day I put them over by the 5 man sled, one ask what is this Dad so I told them, then asked me what are these I said those are the dummies. Later in the practice I hear Hey Dad Hey Dad I look over one of my boys climbed ontop of one of the dummies. "Hey Dad Hey Dad I'm king of the Dummies". Practice resumed about five minutes later when we all quit laughing. That was a few years back and he's still king of the dummies.

Wife wanted to do something one after noon without the kids, so my 7 year old girl and 4 year old boy come to practice. We have this big hill near the pracitce field. Up and down they go, and I just kind forgot about them. Weeeeelllllll, the little girl decides that her brother wasn't going fast enough so she starts dragging him up and down the hill. After about 2 hours of this they are both cover in that good old red clay we are famous for. THEN mom shows up to pick them up before I could even try to clean them up and was pee-ossed off at me. She wouldn't talk to me for a week.

At my first school the male staff members would pick a gullable student each spring and send them on a mission. It start by sending the chosen student to the shop to get the wood stretcher. The person would be sent from teacher to teacher looking for things like: key to the batters box, left handed rack, wood stretcher, etc. It usually took the student a couple of hours looking for everything on the list.

I tried to recruit a basketball kid for the track team:
I said to him, "you could be a great high jumper."
He said, "No thanks coach, I'm afraid of heights."
I later discovered that he thought high jumping was the same as bungy jumping.

My brother was the first pole vaulter afraid of heights. Some memorable moments:
being 5-5 and 125 lbs (in grade 12), and with no pole vaulting history at our school, he had to use an ancient pole that he was not fast enough, heavy enough or strong enough to bend, so he occasionally planted it and it stopped him dead, his feet being flung into the air, his back meeting the ground unceremoniously.
At the regional track finals, he was beaten by the girls high jump champion.
He once stalled at the top of the pole, realized how high up he was (maybe 6 ft... maybe) and tried to climb back down the pole.

These are hilarious, one time during two-a-days two offensive lineman were dogging it in one on ones and our offensive line coach yelled "you look like a group of agressive special ed students."

possibly, at that time no one but football was on campus as everyone else's preseason started a week later, we had to stop practice for a while while the offensive lineman got themselves together.

Wow I should be fired. In fact our whole staff should be fired. Our college is bottom of the academic tables but we get some damn fine players. needless to say we run the Double Wing. Some of them struggle with that.
Most session involve a cuss about their intellegence. Even they admit that they are sometimes challenged in the old nogin. Our RT turned round on Sunday and said to me "Coach took a big hit to the head. I dont know if I have concussion or not as I forget stuff easily and space out pretty quickly as it is. Hey who cares "
Needless to say I sat him out the rest of the half and sent him over to his mother who is a nurse. She sent him back with a message saying he is fine. I kept him out anyway, only to find they put him on D. argh

I had a Freshmen High Jumper. I asked him how high he jumped in Middle School. "5'12," he said. "Man! You were so close to 6'0!"

I was at the COY clinic in Lousiville at the Galt House one year and got on the elevator with Dennis Erickson the elevator operator looks over and says, "Hey, you're Jimmy Johnson! Wow, (to me) Hey man will you take my picture with Jimmy, I look at Coach Erickson and he just nods at me to play along, He had a paper in his hand and signs it Jimmy Johnson and hands it to the guy who takes off to show his boys. We stood there and laughed our butts off for 30 seconds and he says come on I'll buy you a beer and we talked for 15 minutes or so. Never got any signature or picture or even wanted to. We had a great time and I have always followed his teams and rooted for him since!

So, the gym we practice in also gets used in the evening by Cirque du Soleil (no joke...) so there are trapezes and crap hanging from all the rafters. We're working on some passing game. One of our receivers is itching to catch a pass, he's dropped a few and is starting to get the business from his teammates. So, Qb rolls right, lefts a pretty one, right on target, easy completion, right in stride, and... BAM! Beautiful knockdown by the trapeze. Receiver stops, stares in shock, and yells out "GOD-DAMNED CARNIES!"
