Great & Funny Football Coach Sayings ...

[DaveMitch]

From the great book, The Last Coach:

Bryant agreed to a debate with a professor at Texas A & M on the subject "Is College Football Overemphasized?" Bryant's best line was when he asked: "Sir, how many people watch you give a final exam?" When the professor said about fifty, Bryant replied "Well, I have 50,000 watch me when I give mine every Saturday."

If, by some remote chance, you have not read this book, I highly recommended it!

AWESOME!! I really enjoyed this. I teach middle school AND coach football. Most parents seem to care less about what their kids do in the classroom, but BOY do they care about what goes on, on the football field!

A Florida friend sent me this:

1991 Steve Spurrier, Florida football coach, telling Gator fans that a fire at Auburn's football dorm had destroyed 20 books: "But the real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet."

Great Bowden quote when speaking about one of his players -"that boy doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, come to think of it he doesn't know the meaning of a lot of words".

That should have been said by an allbarn coach.

Wasn't it Coach Kines that said, "those boys are so young they don't know the difference between come here and sickem."

A couple of Kiffin quotes that were pretty funny:

“I can’t hear you; Rocky Top is playing” - to Erin Andrews after the Florida game

“I guess we’ll wait and after we’re not excited about a performance, we’ll tell you everybody was sick.” - taking a shot at Meyer and Florida


"dust off your brithces" - Derek Dooley

and one of the best so far from Dooley - "I'm not going to sell this program and what we are going to do in a sound bite; it's impossible," he said. "I can guarantee you that we are going to represent this program with integrity and class."

Not sure why I couldn't get the bold turned off on the ones above - sorry.

Dooley may not be a sound bite kind of guy, but I think he may be the right guy.
