Coaches who emphatically signal "GOING FOR 1 POINT" after a TD

Weird question, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when a head coach emphatically holds up his index finger after a touchdown, and screams "KICK! KICK!" to tell his team "we're kicking the extra point".
I may be wrong, but to me it seems like the shittier coaches are the ones who do this on a regular basis - I'd hate to think that Belichick or Payton or Parcells all do/did this and I just missed it. Jason Garrett just did it in the Dallas/Giants game as Dallas went up 13-3.
My point is - why the frick do you need to do that? It seems kind of dorky. It's kind of like if you're in the middle of hooking up with a chick, you've been rolling around naked in the bed for 10 minutes, it's quite obvious where things are headed, and you say to her: "OKAY! I'M GOING TO PUT A PROPHYLACTIC CONDOM ON MY PENIS BEFORE I INSERT IT INTO YOUR VAGINA!!!". Just act fricking cool - I mean say gently into your headset "kick team" and be done with it. Act like you've done this before.
If you're going for two you can act all excited and hold up two digits and scream "OFFENSE! OFFENSE!" but come on, dude. Let your special teams coach look like a tool and get all excited about the extra point.

Really? Because then the ST coach could run around like a jackass screaming for 1 instead of it being you.

they are saying 1 to push the kicking team to get on the field. since the play clock is clicking and they have to get that team on the field, it's a way of letting the players know "hey i know you are happy that we scored, but focus - get on the field and go kick the extra point". it's not an emphatic way to negate going for two.
but the way you carried on about it was quite entertaining....
I'm just kidding - I didn't even read anything past the first sentence of your post.
