Memorable one liners from coaches.
Aug 27, 2021, 8:42 PM

The thread about Spurrier got me to thinking. Lot's of coaches have said memorable one-liners. Some are famous ("Win one for the Gipper" type lines.) I'm looking for lines that you've heard from coaches that stuck with you but may not be known by many other people.
I'm sure Venables has said some things over the years that stuck with some of y'all.
Here's one from Mickey Andrews, FSU DC. Spoken to a freshman during August practices. "Son, I'm gonna have to call your mother and apologize. I told her you were a football player."

Venables: “It’s 4th down, it’s nut-cuttin time. Go after him.” Much better than the trite “pin your ears back.”

Here are a few of mine;
Aug 27, 2021, 9:33 PM
|
|
1 - "He's got pepper in his grits" - Doc Walker, former color commentator with Jefferson Pilot/Raycom
2 - "You are what your record says you are." - Bill Parcells
3 - "I love that song (2001 A Space Odyssey). Every time I hear it, I win." - Tommy Bowden. Bowden was visiting the Air National Guard base here near Columbia and they played 2001 which is the song uo6c uses to enter the stadium. They literally stole the idea from an Elvis Pressley concert.
4 - "What do you want me to do Ron?" - Steve Spurrier. Spurrier was calling-out reporter Ron Morris. Spurrier claimed that Morris' reporting was a deliberate attempt to hurt the uof6c program. Ron Morris was as big a uof6c homer as you'd meet. The State contemplated firing him but instead had Morris sign an agreement that he would not write or talk about uof6c again.

John McKay was coaching a bad Tampa Bay team (probably Spurrier at qb)and he was asked what he thought of his teams execution. He said, "I'd be all for it."

A Frank Howard story, that I never forgot.
UVA had just joined the ACC, and before the season started some Virginia sports writers came to do some writing on The Tigers. One of the reporters asked Coach Howard if he could speak to a player. Coach Howard called a player named Smith over. His wording was “Smith, get your ### over here boy”. The reporters were kind of taken aback by his language, because coaches just didn’t, present themselves to the press that way, in that day and time. Coach Howard said, “I sized those ol’ boys up right away”. I told ‘em fellas; if this was Princeton, or Harvard, or one of them Ivy League schools, I’d say Young Smith, propel yourself to this destination with the highest possible velocity, but this ain’t one of them schools, this is Clemson, so I say Smith, get your ### over here boy, and he knows exactly what I mean.
The wording may not be all correct, but I remember Chris Schenkel telling the story, for SI.

Barry Switzer used to tell recruits “If you come to Oklahoma we’re gonna win Big 8 Championships, play in major bowl games and play for national championships. If you don’t come to Oklahoma we’re gonna win Big 8 Championships, play in major bowl games and play for national championships.”

Clemson missed 2 or 3 short field goals against Alabama in 1967 and lost 10-13. A few years later Howard was at a funeral for one of the players. The kicker came up to Howard said "Coach Howard do you remember me?" Howard said "Son how could I ever forget you."
