Q: "How do you feel about your teams' execution?"
A: "I'm all for it."

My personal favorite is by Late John McKay.
After another loss by the Bucs, a reporter asked, 'How about the execution of your Offensive line, coach?' McKay coolly replied, 'I am all for it!'

O.A. "Bum" Phillips is one of the greats for one-liners.
There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired.
He once said of Earl Campbell: I don't know if he's in a class by himself, but whatever class he's in, it don't take long to call the roll.
On Warren Moons strong arm: That boy could throw a football through a car wash and not get it wet.

Lovie Smith on his primary goal as the new Bare coach "Beat the Packers." 
The Lovie quote is also a personal favorite. And it's ironic because he's 8-9 vs. the Packers!
Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit. Vince Lombardi
Soon to be 8-10!!

I have an APP for my I phone with Lombardi quotes....Nerdy..sort of I know...
"He couldn't spell 'Cat' if you spotted him the 'c' and the 'a'."
Thomas Henderson on Terry Bradshaw
"He's such a perfectionist that if he were married to Dolly Parton he'd expect her to cook."
Don Meredith on Tom Landry
When it's third and ten, you can take the milk drinkers and I'll take the whiskey drinkers every time.

Bum Phillips:
“If I drop dead tomorrow, at least I’ll know I died in good health.”
Ditka:
“The shoulder surgery was a success. The lobotomy failed.” (McMahon's surgery)
“What’s the difference between a 3-week-old puppy and a sportswriter? In six weeks, the puppy stops whining.”
Players:
“People say I’ll be drafted in the first round, maybe even higher.” (Craig “Ironhead” Heyward)
”Ransom notes.” (Alex Karras, on the most profitable type of writing)
Lombardi:
“The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.”

well, what was it?
C and A or C and T?
C and A or C and T?
Bradshaw thought the D was missing. As I remember it Hollywood said "C and the T". IIRC he said it the week before their second SB meeting in 1978.
McCarthy: If I was worried about statistics, I'd be pissed off here. We have nine wins.

The ball is round so that the game can change direction.

Best. One. Yet. Perfect description of Bart.
“Heard some talk out of the Bears: Packers secondary not working coverage, bigger receivers … we heard about it,” Woodson told Rachel Nichols of ESPN. “We understand that Jay is excited about his new weapons, but it’s the same-old Jay. We don’t need luck; Jay will throw us the ball.”
