This was back in the day where they didn't constantly look to the sideline to give a 15 yard penalty! Anyway, we are on offense. The QB fakes to a RB. Then he drops back. He throws a simple flat route. We gain 4 yards. Good deal. Anyway, scrthe DE that was rushing didn't realize it was a screen and decided to hit the QB late. Definitely a late hit. Our Head Coach starts yelling "Come on, Sir. You can't let him get away with that. Sir, I'm sleeping with the his mom."
The official gave him the strangest look. Well, the QB was the coach's son, so he was, in fact, sleeping with his Mom!

This goes back 20ish years ago. I was a freshmen line coach and also taught primarily freshmen English classes. Our freshman QB, who was not a good student at all, really got into Romeo and Juliet of all things. During a 9th-grade game, as he is lining up under center, he points at one of the opposing defensive tackles and says, "Sir, I bite my thumb at you!" Everyone on the field just stood there in shocked silence for a few seconds before he got going with the cadence.

Really good TB is struggling. Trainer goes out to find out what is wrong. She walks him off the field, trying to hold back laughing. I ask her what is wrong with him and she says "He didn't want to cramp up tonight so he took a bunch of Midol."

Not on the field, but the funniest thing that's ever happened to me. For background, I was a WR coach and my best player was a 5'6 kid.
Anyway, we're in an install meeting in the summer, and this 6'3 backup is on the whiteboard drawing a play, and he made all the position letters lowercase. Some of the guys start teasing him, and the 5'6 kid speaks up the loudest "yeah, why are you making all lowercase?"
Backup kid asks "why are you a lowercase human?" and I nearly fell over. The room was done for a few minutes.

Not a lot of Shakespeare references on the field!

We have a strength/WRs coach who is larger than life. He crosses lines I'd never dream of sometimes, and no one bats an eye. So one day at practice, a receiver screws up a route and realizes his mistake and goes, "Sorry, Coach." WR coach responds, "Don't say you're sorry, just do it right next time. You can be sorry if you 'date' my daughter." (The language was more colorful than this.) Then, a player on the scout defense replies from 30 yards away, "Sorry, Coach!"

Tough to follow that one, but I was reminded of another one this weekend. 2012 was my first season at my current coaching job. We major in Power/Counter out of two-back gun and did back then as well. Not sure why "wide 9s" would have given us trouble but I guess they were on this particular night.
Anyway, at halftime we're talking adjustments and our HC/OL coach was talking to his left tackle and asked him about the 9 techs. The left tackle gets an incredulous look on his face and responds, "9s?! They're WAAAAY out there! They're like 10s or 11s!"

I have written this before, several years ago.
Sometime in the early 2010's we brought in a new offensive coordinator. He was very hearing impaired but got by OK. We were on defense and he was positioned on the sideline about 15 yards past the LOS, looking into the offensive backfield, watching the play. There was a pass thrown close to him on the sideline, and we had two defenders and receiver go for the ball. I distinctly remember seeing him get so hard that his heels were pointing upwards, your proverbial "decleater." He landed on the track several yards away, uninjured.
The defensive spotter up in the press box with me, put his hand over his mike and said: "I guess he didn't hear that one coming."

My favorite was we had a defensive linemen who would crowd the ball and the officials would always tell us he needed to back up a little bit.
At half I was trying to be funny and said just move back the amount of your weiner and you should be fine. Another defensive lineman said “Well coach looks like I’m playing safety!”

Coin Toss and ref has his fly down, Senior Qb says to him, You selling Hotdogs? Ref looks and says no why, he goes your flies undone. Out goes the flag and Welp I had to ask him why.

I've often thought that if some coaches didn't use the 2-digit numbers for linebacker techs, we could call it a 10 tech out there.

During a JV game the opposing 2I was killing us. When we asked our guard what was happening he said, "He's too tough for me. I can't block him so I've been going after the LB."
Also in a JV game, we had a greener that green 8th grade OL. When we got a penalty called on us he picked up the flag, went to the official, and told him, "Excuse me, sir. You dropped this." After some fast talking we convinced the ref that the kid was serious.

Our OL coach in high school accidentally said something like “Boys we cant let anyone penetrate the a hole.” We all giggled. And then he realized why and he was like “gap!!!! A GAPPP!!!!”

My first year ever coaching we had this wild kid that just played hard. We put him at DE and LB sometimes. We'd send him loose on the QB just because he went hard. Throw technique out the window...but it didn't matter...he'd make more plays than not.
One game Mike (his name...not position) isn't getting to the QB like he usually does...
ONE BIG HUGE THING I'M LEAVING OUT...MIKE HAS A LOUD BOOMING VOICE WITH A LISP!!! Take that into consideration here.
Me: Mike...what's going on out there?
Mike: (yelling loudly...arms out) I'M GETTING HELD COACH!!
Me: Don't let that guy do that to you
Mike: I'm trying coach...BUT HE HAS GO GO GADGET ARMS. They're just wrapped around me (demonstrating by grabbing us coaches and hugging us)
Imagine a kid with a booming voice and a lisp saying that. This happened 30 years ago. I still laugh every time I bring it up.

This was in a locker room at halftime.
We had a super intense O-line coach at my last gig who would chime in on defense from time to time (like a defensive consultant). Super intense...like literally would not blink during the span of a football game. We were getting toasted by a jet-series Wing-T team, and was concerned about our LB's reading their guards, and went to draw something up. Kids were worried about jet sweep and kept talking about the motion and having to honor it. After about 3 or 4 kids mention "jet sweep," he got so angry he pressed the marker into the whiteboard, draw this really large/outlandish line representing somewhat of a jet motion, and he screams "I don't care if they run [fidgeted, red-faced pause]...DICK SWEEP!"
All of us coaches were in the doorway of the coach's office. We immediately had to close the door to try and hide our laughter.
That's probably the only "roll on floor laughing" quote from this guy I can share without getting banned. He would say such outrageous things that no matter how intense the moment was, or how scared the players would be, us coaches would collectively have to run to a corner and laugh.

Upon returning from the Covid hiatus we had a corner who just ran sprints and did push ups and sit ups for like three months before we were allowed to start summer workouts. Also barber shops were closed so he looked a little disheveled.
Upon seeing him our DL coach (both men are african american) exclaimed "damn son you look like you just got off the MF'in Amistad!"
Me and the other history teacher on staff both shared a look of bewilderment, nobody else knew what he was talking about.

You haven't coached until you coach kids with ankle monitors. And you haven't coached if you haven't had to adjust your signals because the one's you usually use are gang signs.

I actually got a call to my classroom one time asking if a kid was there. He was and was actually working on work with me and the caller simply said he needed to get home ASAP. I asked the kid if there was an emergency or if he knew why he needed to be home. He lifted his pants leg to show me his ankle monitor.
