Coaches and other officials give plenty of quotes before, during and after games. Some of those quotes are just plain lip-service so we break down what they really meant to say.

“THIS IS WHO WE ARE! WE ARE SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT WE ARE ABOUT!”

“Coach, Nicholls State is the worst team in the universe.”

“IT DOESN’T MATTER, I TOLD THESE NO TALENT ASS CLOWNS NOT TO BRING THAT WEAK SHIT IN OUR HOUSE!”

“Okay, this is weird.”

“I’LL CHALLENGE ANY TEAM RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW!”

“Coach, we literally just got housed last week.”

“IT’S A NEW DAY!”

[everyone has left the locker room]

“I’LL BURN THIS MOTHER DOWN!”

– Exchange between Bret Bielema and a waterboy, probably

“Lane Kiffin was texting me before the game about some nonsense and I got to thinking about Nick Saban. As I was game-planning, I was wondering how it felt to win a game like ol’ Nick. So I just told our guys, get out there and play like you’re at Alabama. No mistakes, nothing flashy. Just pitch a shutout and let’s move on to the next one. I never knew that was all it took.”

– Will Muschamp, former Saban assistant

“I’ve made a huge mistake.”

– Derek Mason, shell of a coach

“South Carolina is overrated.”

– Steve Spurrier, amateur golfer

“Leonard, I am not really mad! I just have to act like I am because I should be upset about the Heisman pose after your first career touchdown! I couldn’t be prouder of you in this moment! You’re my wildcard! Please do this often!” –

Les Miles, Proud Coach

“If the Big Ten gets a team into the playoff over a 2nd SEC team, we might secede and start out own postseason.”

– Mike Slive, Big Ten Hater

“YOU STUPID MOTHERF#$!@R!”

– Pat Haden, Southern Cal Athletic Director, College Football Selection Committee Representative to referee

“This is great. Ya’ll see Texas Longhorns got worked by BYU? I own this state. [does the Manziel money sign]”

– Kevin Sumlin, Future Texas Governor

“My doctor is concerned about my health.”

– Urban Meyer, Ohio State Head Coach

“The college football playoff system is flawed.”

– Jim Delany, B1G Commissioner

Worked for the internet in Los Angeles before being lured back to Florida by SEC football and the promise of a bourbon bar. When he's not internetting or watching football, he's probably out giving himself 4-footers on the golf course.
