The funniest thing I ever heard a coach say- A player asked the HC when they'd be working on special teams and the older then dirt, old school Okie said "Son you just drive the {censored} wagon and I'll worry about the mules going blind!" Had to bite my lip and the look on the kids faces was priceless. Hard to top that...

When I was in high school, my position coach (5-2 DE) told us that when we squeezed down, we needed to get so low that when we fart, we'd blow dust in our boots.

After one of the kids did something a little stupid at post game night celebrations, head coach said "i've never seen booze make anyone smarter"

Heard this one in the weight room today (in regards to a kid not getting low enough on a squat)... "Put your balls in the fire"

I've heard a coach admonish a player with "congratulations kid, keep making stupid decisions like that and there's a future for you in politics".

"Come to balance" as opposed to break down concerning tackling (helps our kids remember to keep moving). 6 seconds every play all day. bite the ball "Get D to D" on bringing hips when tackling. "Whats the best play? the Next Play!" 3 x 4 is 12 and thats more than enough for a first down. "Fall forward" on running backs being physical. "Pec on the knees" on blocking demeanor for our lineman. "helmet speed" when talking about our D-linemen getting off. Tackle through not to "1st down or a Touchdown" on WR's running after the catch. Restart your feet CCBR (counter, cutback, bootleg, reverse)- to our backside DE and corner on plays away "might as well catch it, they are gonna hit you anyway" "A good fake is worth two blocks" on getting our RB's and QB's to sell play action. "Nobody cares how big your arms and chest are, if your sitting on the bench" one on being a player and a teammate we use in a leadership manual. "there are two types of players we cant have: cowboys and cogs" "So they never want to play us again" a reminder about being the most physical team on the field... Then we ask after the game this same question. "You either get better or worse everyday. If you stay the same you just go worse" "play with reckless abandon" "take away the air" on continuing to attack the ball carrier. Restack- on Wr's getting back on to their stem.

I don't know if it's catchy but every now and then after a practice, and sometimes after a game, I'll have the team group together, have them close their eyes, and ask them to answer silently one question-
"Was what you did today the best that you could do?"

I always liked this one for tackling (I coach high school kids)
"Finish with your hips, like Saturday night in a sorority house"
Some other ones: Hands on Man (Block destruction) Know your help (Run Support) Open window, Close it (Linebacker Reads) Linebackers don't make money going backwards

"Hands on the Ball or Helmet in the Back"
Constantly give my DBs those two options on passes. Failure is letting a ball come through your area without doing one of the two.

I've always liked:
Lay 'em the wood (aggression on hitting someone) 7 second drill (finish each play) pretty good isn't good enough (effort) fake to the extreme/ 1 great fake equals 2 good blocks make every tackle (strive to be in on every tackle; effort/desire) Winning isn't everything, but LOSING sure sucks! (I invented that one)

Coach in high school use to say "put a tent over this circus" he would use it anytime something bad would happen. The same coach would come out every day and ask the same question "who will lead us out of this quagmire of medicority?" I have been known to use the first one quite a few times

When I coached DB's:
"If your man goes to get a hotdog, you ask him if he wants ketchup and mustard."
WR's "Catch it with your eyes first"
Defense "We're gonna attack those guys like a bunch of wild army bees!" "Don't run to the man, run through the man." "Knock the pi$$ outta him or he'll knock the sh$t out of you."
