My two favorite both come from Bum Phillips I believe.
After a loss in which a linebacker let a guy open in the endzone for the winning touchdown, this was the exchange bt Phillips and a reporter:
reporter: Wasn't the linebacker supposed to be guarding that player?
BP: Yes he was.
Reporter:Well, why didn't he?
BP: I don't know. Ask the linebacker.
And, trailing 35-0 in the fourth quarter, the Saints made it to the 1 yard line and BP decided to kick a field goal. WHen asked why he did that, he said: I figured that if we scored five touchdowns in the last five minutes, we'd need those 3 points to win.

"PLAYOFFS!?"

When Lombarbi returned home one night from the in frigid Wisconsin, he got in bed. His wife exclaimed, "my God, your feet are cold," to which Vince responded, "that's ok dear...in bed, you may call me Vince."
Vince Junior told me that one!

Mostly from press conferences but some pretty common ones: Jim Mora "Playoffs", Dennis Green "the Bears are who we thought they were..."
Others:
-Jim Boeheim "not 10 fricking games" comment
-Mark Dantonio after the Eastern Michigan game this year: " I'm just loving all these questions, because they're great ones."
, that presser was funny, though

"Hello! You play to win the game!"
What does that mean? Well, that means going for the first down late in the game instead of trying to kick a field goal (which you miss anyway) to go up by 6. Up by 6 doesn't win the game as the opposing team can still score a TD to beat you. But, if you get the first, you can kneel the ball and the game is over.

I’ve never known a man worth his salt who, in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline.

John McKay was the best.

Bob Knight's reply to Connie Chung's question;
Connie-- "There are times Bobby Knight can't do it his way, and what does he do then?"
Knight-- "I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it".
