"Make their asses quit" - Nick Saban

 

[Deep Creek]

Oh now you done gone and done it. Got lots of ammo. Bum Phillips was head coach in 1962.

This is my favorite one:

"Two kinds of ballplayers aren't worth a darn: One that never does what he's told, and one who does nothin' except what he's told."

Here are some more.

I don't know if he's in a class by himself, but I do know that when that class gets together, it sure don't take long to call the roll. ~ Of Earl Campbell

Because she's too ugly to kiss goodbye. ~ When asked by Bob Costas why he took his wife on all of the Oilers' road trips

I always thought I could coach. I just thought people were poor judges of good coaches.

Yeah, that test says he's dumb as a fence post, but when he hits he looks like Einstein to me. ~ On the Wonderlic Test

“I done drew the line. Just like the Alamo. You're either on one side of the line or the other. I don't want to ever leave Texas again.”

And one just for some of Hu's recent posts.

“I done drew the line. Just like the Alamo. You're either on one side of the line or the other. I don't want to ever leave Texas again.”

The Pope is 77 years old and he's in charge of a billion people. All I have to do is put 11 on the field." HBC

 

[Deep Creek]

Forgot these.

The film looks suspiciously like the game itself!

"There are two ways to build a team. You either get better players or get the players you've got to play better."

"Potential will get you beat 21-7 every time."

"He's a marvelous animal. He didn't even ask to renegotiate."
--after his two year old horse won it's first race

"They don't have enough cows up in Michigan to make his boots."
--on why 6 foot 7 inch lineman Angelo Fields from the University of Michigan didn't wear cowboy boots

I don't expect to win enough games to be put on NCAA probation. I just want to win enough to warrant an investigation.
- Bob Devaney

And the winner is...

My hardest job is to convince the people of Nebraska that 10-1 is not a losing season

Woody Hayes:

There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.

In 1968 the eventual National Champion Buckeyes were Playing scUM. The Buckeyes were up 48-12 late in the game after scoring a TD. The Buckeyes went for 2. After the game, assistant coach Lou Holtz asked him why he went for 2. "Because they wouldn't let me go for 3."

You can't spell Citrus with out UT

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

Nebraska trailing at half against a team which Nebraska was favored. Players were in the locker room when a knock came from the door. A player opened the door and it was Devaney who said "Oh, I'm sorry ladies. I was looking for the Nebraska football team."

On Mack Brown: When Spurrier was at Duke and beat North Carolina, he and his team took a photo at midfield. Mack Brown, then at UNC, called Spurrier classless for the gesture.

"Why? I’ve got a better record on that field than he does."

 

[Goldbug]

Barry Switzer on the Oklahoma/Texas game: "It's for the right to live in America for the next year".

 

[ktg8trgrl]

A swamp is where Gators live. We feel comfortable there, but we hope our opponents feel tentative. A swamp is hot and sticky and can be dangerous. Only Gators get out alive.”

I know why Peyton came back for his senior season, he wanted to be the MVP of the citrus bowl

 

[mrwallace2ku]

"We've got a really good group of guys in here right now and it's going to be really fun to grow up with them all…"


Translation: no bowl, not enough wins.

Bear:

“If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, “Roll, Tide, Roll!”

“If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it.”

“If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It’s in my blood.”

“My approach to the game has been the same at all the places I’ve been. Vanilla. The sure way. That means, first of all, to win physically. If you got eleven on a field, and they beat the other eleven physically, they’ll win. They will start forcing mistakes. They’ll win in the fourth quarter.”

“Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin’ and preachin’ were a lot alike.”

“Be aware of “yes” men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget – people win.”

Top 50 quotes from Bear Bryant

 

[4down20]

Spurrier is no doubt the greatest smart ass to ever walk the sidelines. His quotes always crack me up.

 

[tnapucco]

“It’s always serious when six policemen come and stand by you. When the security people told me about it, I told one of our graduate assistant coaches he could wear my jacket with ‘Barry’ on the back. I told him I would tell him why later. It’s happened before, several times. It happened once at Norman. It’s something I have to live with.” -- Switzer talking about a death threat at the 1987 Orange Bowl. Someone called and said there was someone in the stadium who wanted to shoot the coach. (Associated Press)

“I’ll bet I’m the only coach in college football that’s had a sewer treatment plant named for him. I just hope it’s on top of a hill so that stuff will seep down.” -- Switzer after a sewage lagoon in Midvale, Utah, was named in his “honor” following the 1984 bowl season. (Associated Press)
