The Best Football Coach Cliches I've Ever Heard

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah was my latest guest on Cup of Joey this week. 

He played college football at Northeast Louisiana then App State before turning pro in scouting and TV. So you know right away that a small, southern school taught QB is going to have heard it all when it comes to football coach cliches. 

He dropped one on me that I had never heard before, and honestly is now life changing when thinking about the quarterback position and the game of football. 

"As quarterbacks we gotta be able to sit on the porch and see all the way around the house."

It's beautiful. 

Beautiful in the way that it doesn't really make that much sense unless you put it in the context of a football coach wearing a visor with a huge lip of chaw in his mouth saying it then it makes perfect sense. 

Another one up there that DJ dropped during the interview that could give the "porch" saying a run for it's money is "there's limited occupancy in this hotel (pointing to head) we're not going to rent rooms to people who don't matter" even when the people being talked about are the candidates running for President of the United States. 

I think at the end of the day I gotta roll with the hotel analogy just slightly over the quarterbacks sitting on the porch. That one is funnier because it's not something that anyone can do, but I think head-to-head the hotel analogy holds more truth to the majority of football people. 

That could go for the whole team rather than just the quarterback room, and there is nothing - I mean nothing - more football coach than not giving a shit about anything besides what goes on in their progrum (Saban voice).
