Pet Peeve: "No-Nonsense Coach"


The Dean

Recommended Posts

He's a real no-nonsense coach! What the hell is that supposed to mean? As far as I can tell, it means, "He's a douchebag!"

 

What I'd really like to know is, what's a "nonsense coach"? (I know..."Mike Mularkey"...save it!) That must be a football coach that uses baseballs and makes the OL line up backwards and then they all play duck-duck-goose. It would make for a good Monty Python skit, no?

 

Then, of course there's the dreaded "Players' Coach" (Or is it "Player's Coach"?...I guess that's if only one guy likes him.) I sense that the Players' Coach is the opposite of a No-Nonsense coach. But, shouldn't there be Owner's Coaches and General Managers Coaches? (or Director of Player Personnel Coaches?)

 

I think my favorite are the Groundskeepers' Coaches. "Dan is a real groundskeepers' coach Jim." "That's right Bill, the field always looks good when his team is finished with practice. The groundskeepers have a much easier time getting ready for game day. That takes real discipline, I tell ya."

 

Yikes...it must be Friday afternoon. The Dean needs a cocktail!
