What are some of your favorite quotes from Head Coaches?

Can be from any sport.
The one that always first comes to mind for me is from Woody Hayes:
When asked why he went for two despite a 36-point lead against Michigan, Hayes quipped, "Because I couldn't go for three."
Always loved that one. (I'm assuming that's the correct quote, or at least pretty close)

REPORTER: "What bout your team's execution?
JOHN McKAY: "I'm all for it"
JOHN McKAY: "I'm all for it"

John McKay -
1 - In response to a question about his team's execution - "I'm all in favour of it."
2 - On an interception thrown by Steve DeBerg in 1984 that cost the Bucs a game against the Giants - "It was thrown to nobody. Well, it was thrown to somebody, Harry Carson. But he happened to be playing for the New York Giants at the time. It would have been a good pass if Harry had been playing for us."
3 - After a particularly heavy loss - "The bus leaves in an hour - anyone who needs a shower, take one."
4 - On losing a key game - "I told our players that there were 700 million Chinese people in the world who didn't even know the game was played. The next week, I got five letters from China asking "What happened?"
5 - After the Bucs broke their 26-game losing streak - "Three or four plane crashes and we're in the playoffs."
6 - On recruiting his son John to play for USC and then the Bucs - "I had an advantage - I slept with his mother."
7 - On the prospect of a late-season trip to Green Bay - "Going there is like winning the 98th prize in a beauty contest with only 97 prizes."
8 - On hearing how Buc kicker Pete Rajecki was nervous about McKay watching him in the 1976 pre-season - "That's unfortuntate as I plan on attending all the games."
9 - At a post-game press conference in 1976 "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a bunch of bananas."
10 - The following week after a media member has dropped off a case of bananas at his door - "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a Mercedez-Benz."

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

"You play to win the game!"
"GO AHEAD AND CROWN THEIR ASSES!"

The greatest pep talk speech of all time
Shortly before a minor league championship game, manager Don Hoak addressed his players. He raised his hand, holding his thumb and index finger less than an eighth of an inch apart.
"Boys, I just want to remind you all that you are only this far away from major league pussy."

On the significance of experience: ``If you have everyone back from a team that lost 10 games, experience isn't too important.''
On O.J. Simpson carrying the ball 47 times in a USC game: `` He doesn't belong to a union. Anyway, the ball doesn't weigh that much.''

I'm gonna have to read up more on John McKay. Sounds like a hell of a guy.

Can't remember the guy's name - and he was the GM of the Charlotte Hornets, not the coach - but he said "We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. For the life of me, I can't figure out where else to play".

"If you (a cornerback) watch the quarterback you watch him complete passes."
Nick Saban.
Heard this at a party about him talking about cornerback play.
