We as a staff do not take ourselves very seriously so every clinic we go to the one guy on staff who is our go to comedian likes to see how many heads whip around when he yells "Hey coach! It's coach!" Or open the window of the room and scream "Hey coach it's coach! Coach said grab coach and come have some beers in the room with coach and coach!" It's amazing how many heads turn and think you are talking to them. I think some guys get pi$$ed like it's an insult, so every year we try and do it more than before. Never gets old... When you get older you'll get pi$$ed too. It's annoying to have to ask yourself, "oh crap, do I know this guy?". Crap, I have to do that at 25 because my dad is a coach as well and has been since I was like 7 or 8. Some of these coaches still remember me as a little kid from various camps and I haven't seen them in years...I tend to make small talk then go as my old man who the heck that was. I'm not a really a Cusser but I thoroughly enjoy the guys that just don't care who's around. Mostly the Oline guys....or almost any Air Raid guy. I hear an F Bomb, I'm zoned in at that point. When the offensive line coaches really get going, it is a great day to be in a clinic. Espcially when it is old school flex bone guys or an I-Bone staff. Just F this and F that and F that guy over there and we are going to option off the F'er...

I haven't actually went into a clinic session in quite a while but back when I went to them I do recall those "bullsh!t bingo" words being used a lot. Looks like I am safe to remain an all lobby team member for another year. the lobby track is the best track in the clinic typically!

I learned a hell of a lot more in the Varsity Club than I ever did at the OSU clinic. That is for sure!

I guess we live in the age of everyone being snide with anything someone does or says that they can find odd and point as not being within their norm.
What I find odd is that almost to a T the group on here would say that their 'Coach' was a guiding and deciding influence to them in their formative years, and they have deep residing respect for their 'Coach'.
It's interesting that people on here would spend money to attend a convention that has a purpose to improve the 'Coaching Profession' wold then use that event to then make fun of people that are spending money to improve themselves as a 'Coach'.
In my 20 plus years I've found that being 'Coach' gets me a whole lot more connected to the average kid than a National Board teacher, a nationally recognized school AdMin, or sometimes their own flesh and blood parent. I take great pride in being called 'Coach'. My chest really puffed up the time my own child referred to me as 'Coach'. Being the 'Coach' was something to be proud of, not cause celebre.
So don't think twice to call me Coach.

Nonono, I'm not letting this get all sanctimonious. As in any industry, there are no shortage of buffoons, some of whom, by dint of the Peter Principle, speak at more clinics than they have a right. And they sound silly. A lot of them use buzzwords and made-up phrases to cover up their own lack of knowledge. Some might even be competent but are terrible public speakers so they fall back on bad clichés. They're probably not axe murderers. But we can certainly have a chuckle at their expense.

I knew an old coach who had coached well into his 70s, was extremely well respected, and was all football all the time - very old school. I visited with his family when he was in his early 80s (still in good health), and he was infamous for calling literally every person he met "coach." He said to the person with me (not a coach) "hey coach, what do you do?" and when the manager of the restaurant came over to ask how our meal was he said "hi coach, well, my soup was excellent. coach, you run a great restaurant."
It was funny, but it was his way of showing respect - was just ingrained in his brain.

Hockey announcers are the worst in overuse of "Hockey" and "building."

My college coach called everyone "Coach" too but not out of respect.
He was just bad with names.

The word in Education these days is RIGOR, makes me wanna puke! BULLY is the one that gets me riled up. Somewhere along the line BULLY became synonymous with A**HOLE which describes roughly a quarter of the human race.

Great post here. You'll never catch me speaking at a clinic for 2 basic reasons. 1. I'm great in my classroom, but not a great public speaker when speaking to my peers. 2. I don't know jack chit about football.

Somewhere along the line BULLY became synonymous with A**HOLE which describes roughly a quarter of the human race. I hate the word bully with a passion. You have two good friends messing with each other, friend A crosses the line slightly, friend B gets butthurt. Now friend A can get into trouble for bullying? God kids need to toughen up these days. It is because we start blowing smoke up their asses at a young age now about how awesome they are when they aren't even mediocre on a good day because heaven forbid they go home discouraged or with hurt feelings ever. It is far better to inflate their grades and their egos because for some reason as a society we have become afraid to teach kids to deal with criticism or face any kind of adversity ever.

My word that I can't stand how it's used is "dynamic", as in "He's a dynamic athlete."
Dynamic: characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.

I've always told my guys that the moment they graduate, they can call me by my first name. And that I will friend them on Facebook. I hate being called coach by my friends, because I'm not their coach. I've always felt that the people who use phrases like "football player" or a "football play" are just lacking the ability to fully and correctly describe the person or play. So, they think by claiming it's a "football" something, that it develops this myth and ability and that non-football mortals would never understand. I think it's lazy in the same way that I think "hit somebody" is lazy coaching. When I hear some call a kid he's just a good solid "football" player, I think, hard worker, not afraid of the dirty work, does his job hard and correct and does t expect all the praise from the press or crowd, A blue collar guy that just gets it done, doesn't have to Be flashy to get it done either. And when they say and that's a "football" play, to me it means , good hard play, block down kick out pwr, trap, etc. Or it means this play is successful cause every player did what they were suppose too. Of course this is just one "ball" coaches opinion

"Game changer" is what I've been hearing a lot, not just in football but in various professions.
I have to admit that clinic season is great because guys are so bored! Went to a Glazier clinic once out of my state and 2 rivals went to blows because the guys who won were wearing shirts with a picture of a clock that had legs, arms and appeared to be running. Above the picture was the score 63-0.... Apprantly the guys wearing the shirts beat up on their rival pretty bad and the game went to a running clock in-season. They wore the shirts at the clinic to be Richards and from what I saw, they paid a pretty hefty price for it outside the hotel.
