I don't know if he really said this or not, but it's great nonetheless.
Following a Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss in their early seasons, McKay was asked what he thought of his team's "execution." He replied, "I'm all for it."

My favorite quotes actually came from two minor league baseball managers. One was Rocky Bridges talking about his team:
"I managed good, but boy did they play bad"
But the greatest coach quote of all time was absolutely the motivational speech of Dick Hoak. He was manging a team about to play in the Minor League World Series. Just before the big game he entered the clubhouse and addressed his team.
He raised his arm, holding his thumb and forefinger about a quarter of an inch apart.
"Boys", he said, "I just want to remind you -- you're only this far away from major league pussy."

Herb Brooks' "This is your time" speech gets a lot of love and deservedly so, but I've always loved his speech before the gold medal game against Finland more. It's only two sentences.
"Lose this game, and you'll take it with you to your fricking graves... ... Your fricking graves."
- Herb Brooks, master motivator.
