NFL Coaches I Would Personally Love To Punch In the Face

^^^^ OMG! F-Bombs for everyone!

That reminds me of me after the Bostick Bumbling Brainfart in Seattle last year.

[hoosier]

that's why I don't care to strike him. Guy got used by Jerry to stick it to Jimmy Johnson, showing that a total idiot could win a title with those players. Of course, then there's Dave Campo who proved you can't win at all, with any talent.

Ok, so you don't hit him with a closed fist. But he at least deserves a backhand. What I'm not sure about is whether the fact that Jones used him as you say is a mitigating or contributing factor.

except that's Burns after a win. You should have heard him after a loss. I'm telling you the Minneapolis Star Tribune the day after losses didn't have a lot of Burns' quotes.

That Jerry Burns video is the best. The only thing that would improve it would be Walter Matthau playing Burns.

Hoosier, Les Steckel was a name I was trying to think of.

Except Steckel basically punched himself in the face.

One of the Minny papers had a funny headline on the sports page the day after Steckel was canned:

"Less Steckel"

I certainly remember that. By the end of the year I was calling him "Tess".

On other hand, Jerry Burns is my favorite Vikings' coach ever.

Jerry was awesome, great OC and a good head coach too. He was one Salty son-of-a-bitch.

[KYPack]

Burnsy is undoubtedly my favorite coach of a rival, especially the Queens.

Jerry Burns was a staunch believer in the "drink a fifth after a win and a quart after a loss" theory of coaching.

Former GBP assistant, ya know.

That I did not know. I thought the OC he was referencing was from GB.....Bob Schnelcker.


Man the end was funny, "Fuck, they put his picture up there and the fuckers boo him............fuckers"

[Rastak]

I do recall we loved to rip Bob Schnelcker......whenever anything went wrong.

so did we..when he was our OC. "Run the reverse to Lofton - again!"

[hoosier]

I don't think Burns ever worked for the Packers. According to profootballreference he was OC for the Viquings from '68 through '85 and then took over as HC when Grant retired in '86. He burned through fifths and quarts until '91. Holy sh** that is a long time to spend with one team.

[George Cumby]

Nope. He was an assistant under Lombardi.

[KYPack]

Ol Whiskey ( a nickname also given to Viking QB Tommy Kramer) was the Packer RB coach from '66 - '67. Burnsy was known for his attention to detail and on rare occasions, the resolve to holler back at VINCE LOMBARDI. One time, Jerry yelled "Now Goddammit coach, that's the way we put that play in". Lombardi checked and Burns was right. Deep down, VTL loved it when people came back at him. Not many did, hell Bengston never hollered at Vince. Presumably, Jerry left a couple fucks out of that sentence, the straight-laced Lombardi didn't tolerate the "f" word around him.

When Vince retired as HC, Bud Grant hired Jerry as the Vikes OC and he got the top job later on. Burns was respected throughout the league as a hard working guy who wouldn't back down to any fucking bullshit, ya know? Burnsy wasn't an old school pro coach. he was the bricks, sand, & mortar used to build the old pro coach school.

Under Burnsy, you could drink, fuck, and party as much as you wanted, as long as you worked hard, played like a warrior on Sunday, and won the fucking ball game.
