Is it weird that coaches always refer to themselves as "we"?

I've often thought it sounded stupid. But it seems to be universal.

i am pretty sure when he says we it means team and/or coaching staff

If they say "I" they come off as a d-bag taking credit for everything.

if you're talking about the "we" when he says "we're coming down here ready to be a part of the lsu family" etc... i think he's talking about his family. the other "we" is the team

When you want a group of 18-22 year old young men to buy in to a team mentality, you don't say I when talking about football

One Team! One Heartbeat! DUH!!!!!!

Which would make sense if it was the same team/staff following coaches around everywhere. But that's not the case.

it's always noticeable to be when (true) leaders refer to their team as "we" when inferring, and then use "I" when there's a mistake.

The buck stops with him!

Yep. This is how I work. I very rarely refer to myself unless I screwed something up. This is pretty normal for people who aren't douchebags.

Atleast the Coach IS part of the team!

So I see you never played any team sports
