"You let than man get behind you then Bob's your Uncle!" - Coach Lewis

Coach Lewis was my HS coach. Old school. Never uttered a curse word. Always had funny, old-timey things to say.
Reminds me of Henderson High football coach Terry Sparks, whose twin brother Roy coached at Dunwoody High. They were married to twin sisters!
”Now, look, you dang poothead, if you ain’t gonna do it right, just don’t even do it at all!”
”And then you can just go sit down and take an F for the WHOLE DANG month!”
”We got us one All Star catcher over there, and another poothead catcher right here!”
’I want my men mo-bile, ag-ile, and hos-tile.’
Jake Gaither….long time FAMU head football coach.
Hah @TurkDawg ! Haven't heard "Poothead" in decades since my time at HHS! Sparks wasn't the only coach there to use it, was used by many - McClendon, Ayers (sp?)! My fave, though was Latin teacher turned football coach extraordinare John Hogan's embellished usage; "My, my, my you confounded poothead!"
Maybe that's why our sports records were so bad during those days- we were all pootheads!
“The best ability is availability” - multiple football coaches throughout history including Kirby Smart (side note - with Kirby’s “colorful “R - rated” language tendencies, this is one thing he says that is rated “G”) - ears of all ages can listen to Kirby saying this one liner without any profanity being said.
So I transferred my senior year of HS to a school in Corpus Christi. It was a huge transition playing football in Texas. It was serious business. One particular game we were getting hammered at halftime. The coach was fired up in the locker room and was giving us a big butt-chewing. Pretty epic rant. At the end he said "I want to see sparks shoot out your ass.es!!!"
I lost it and started laughing.
I didn't see the field for a couple weeks after that.
Nice one, Sparky!!
I had a HS defensive assistant coach who constantly said "I want to see foam coming out of your mouth!", or "I want you foaming at the mouth!"
GO DAWGS!!!
He also said "Defense, DEFENSE LISTEN UP DEFENSE I ONLY want to see @$$HOLES AND ELBOWS!!!! I WANT TO SEE ELEVEN PEOPLE, ALL ELEVEN OF YOU, EVERYONE, EVERYONE HAD BETTER BE MEETING AT THE BALL CARRIER!!!”
"Don't make me smack you, Beavis!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favs have already been mentioned...
"HBTFD, that's what I told'em!"
"We're not practicing to beat somebody, were practicing to beat everybody!"
"You're either elite or you're not."

The "other" Vince.
Georgia had it's "G" with HC Vince Dooley, while the Green Bay Packers had their "G" with HC Vince Lombardi.

GO DAWGS!!!
