Coaches Rants

I absolutely love it when coaches go off in press conferences. I really do. They do it for different reasons - moronic questions from reporters, defending a player, motivation, name it.

Nothing cracks me up more when a memorable soundbite is born from a post-game press conference. There have been hundreds, however, here are my top five...

Enjoy....

No. 5 (Oklahoma State Head Coach Mike Gundy) - "Come after me. I'm a man. I'm 40"
I actually enjoyed this more so for Gundy defending his QB Bobby Reid, who Daily Oklahoman columnist Jenni Carlson trashed in her column the morning of the Cowboys game vs. Texas Tech. Always brings a tear to the Bald Guy's eye seeing coaches defend their players - even if it is a little extreme.

(Side note) - Oklahoma State WON this game. Imagine if they lost.



No. 4 (Indiana Head Basketball Coach Bobby Knight) - This isn't so much a tirade as Gundy's or the other three below. This is just Knight being Knight - a complete a$$hole (though hysterical at times in this instance when asked about guard Damon Bailey).



No. 3 (New Orleans Saints Head Coach Jim Mora) - You don't see this rant very often, but it planted the seed for Mora's most memorable performance. Diddley Poo?!?!?!?!



No. 2 (Michigan Women's Head Basketball Coach) Kevin Borseth - The intro alone puts him here period....



No. 1 (Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Jim Mora) - One word sums this up. You figure it out...



Honorable mention: Herm Edwards "You Play To Win The Game", Mike Ditka "Talk To The Trainer - NEXT", Dennis Green "They Are Who We Thought They Were"...

Until next time, the P.R. Stud signing out.
