One syllable words are better, more easily vocalized-heard-understood. "HOT-HOT-HOT" as in "Hot potato, don't touch it!" A football is kind of shaped like a potato.
We had a special teams coordinator who had the kids making a "fire" call to tell the kids to avoid the ball on PR. However, we also tagged a blitz as "fire". We were repping PR for the first time in August, the punt is shanked, and everyone is yelling "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!". Two peeled off of their PR protection and sprinted back towards the punter.
The ST coordinator flips his lid and one of the kids tells him "Everyone was yelling fire so I turned around and blitzed, coach!". Needless to say, he went with "hot" from there on out.
Not quite the same, but similar... We had a couple of one word play calls we added in this year, and one of them was water.. We were in the middle of a team period, and we start yelling "WATER-WATER-WATER" and one of the scout DL drops to a knee, takes off his helmet to fix a strap and I didn't see it until right as we snapped it.. thankfully our RG realized it and just kind of covered him up, then I looked up and the FS had ran all the way to the sideline to get a drink without realizing we were running a play.. The DL looked up at me and said "I hope the defense thinks you're telling them to get water too" |

2 things kids remember,
sex, sex terms/words, nipple, butt, hooters, sluts, you dirty minded pervs. lol
bible.
noah, jonah, the ark, part the red sea, moses, etc.
I have made play calls over the years make sense in terms of what we are running.
jet sweep for example was falcons.
why? air force is the falcons, air force flies jets. therefore jet sweep was falcons
power, well its always steelers, why, becasue pittsburgh is powerful town full of blue collar guys. have changed it over the years to a couple other things, but you get the idea

When I was in high school, we used playing card suits + Joker. * Joker = 0 * Spades = 1 (1 point) * Hearts = 2 (2 humps) * Clubs = 3 (3 humps) * Diamonds = 4 (4 points) I never strayed from it personally, and love using playing card terminology for defensive calls. King/Queen/Jack/Ace, flush/full house/pair, Euchre/Cribbage/Poker, etc. I'm from the midwest so I played quite a bit of Euchre growing up. I have coached in NC, SC, GA and Florida and I don't know if any kids have ever known what Euchre was it has come up in conversation. Do kids know what cribbage and euchre are? I'm in Michigan, so everyone knows what Euchre is, or if they don't, they do five minutes after it's mentioned. Some know cribbage, but not many. My family plays it religiously though, so I've known it practically my whole life. |

Late to the party here, but I have a good one.
On most of our run plays, our outside WRs do what we used to call a "Push-Crack" technique, where they attack the CB until he bails and then go and block the near safety.
I have started referring to this technique as a "Reagan" technique.

My favorite: Eyes on Peter Alley... We used this for our OL when we started zone schemes and wanted them to get to the middle of next man over.

OL has the best ones…..
“Arseholes and elbows” - from behind that’s all of you I should see because you are flat backed
“D!ck to d!ck” - roll your hips into the defender
“Phuk the gap” - take anything that comes to your gap and roll your hips into it
“Roll the meatball/cup of soup” - pass set gets their hands up and tight to their chest ready to punch

Coaches, Interested to know what verbiage you use to help players remember technique that may be interesting? For instance, we use "turbulence" such as flight turbulence to describe the in phase hand fighting of a DB. OR "tail pipe" to describe following a WR across the middle (we want to get right behind his tail pipe) so we dont get picked. Do you guys have anything like that for any positions? I found our kids remember them, and their technique, well that way. |

"Grab cloth" on KOR as a shorthand for being alert, in GHP and eyes on the ball.
An "oh {censored}" bock on OL is when the DE screams wide and upfield and we have to open hips and shuffle with him. So we'd work on some "oh {censored}" blocks at times.
