I'm taking notes, can anyone else help?

Poli · 05-04-2003, 12:52 AM

I plan on coaching when I leave the service. That said, I'm taking notes on what to do and not to do.

So far I know:

1. I should kick on fourth down. Well, most of the time.
2. Don't lie on my resume. People check that stuff.
3. Sign my contract quickly.
4. No hookers.
5. Don't take the job at the University of Alabama.

Any other notes I should have?

Only 11 men on the field, contrary to what Slick Rick thinks

Fonzie · 05-04-2003, 01:18 AM

It is generally considered poor form to kick puppies. Add that to your list and I think you're all set!

Be careful not to go out drinking with the kids at a frat party at a rival school. And if you some how get dragged into it, do not allow yourself to be photographed by said rival's students, or flirting with girls 30 years younger than you, or drinking copiously to try and keep up with the kids.

If you win the toss in overtime, it's probably best to "receive."

AKnightofNi · 05-04-2003, 02:05 AM

If you are ever at SMU, DO NOT let any former governor of Texas have any contact with players or recruits.

No matter how good your Running back is.. he cannot convert 3rd and 30 with a inside handoff

Well, unless your coaching tecmo bowl.. and your using okoye.. who will proceed to break 10 tackles.. and get caught from behind on the goaline by the opponents defensive tackle

Dawgfan1980 · 05-04-2003, 03:30 AM

Thou shall never, ever play a prevent defense with 90 seconds to go up by less than 28!

Poli · 05-04-2003, 07:29 AM

OK, the list now reads...

1. I should kick on fourth down. Well, most of the time.
2. Don't lie on my resume. People check that stuff.
3. Sign my contract quickly.
4. No hookers.
5. Don't take the job at the University of Alabama.
6. Only 11 men on the field.
7. Don't kick puppies.
8. Be careful not to go out drinking with the kids at a frat party at a rival school. And if you some how get dragged into it, do not allow yourself to be photographed by said rival's students, or flirting with girls 30 years younger than you, or drinking copiously to try and keep up with the kids.

Very good rule. I knew I was forgetting something important!

9. Choose to receive the ball when in overtime (except in college football, where the rule is reversed).
10. DO NOT allow any former governor of Texas (or any other state I suppose) have any contact with players or recruits.
11. Don't call an inside handoff on 3rd and 30, unless I have Okoye.
12. Never play a prevent defense with 90 seconds to go up by less than 28.

Thank you for the input. I have thought of one more rule.

13. If I ever tell a female kicker she is on the team, I better keep her on the team, or I will probably get sued.

Do not shout, "BOOM!" when one of your players makes a good hit.

Everytime someone points out something wrong, distract them with a quick "your flys undone."

JPhillips · 05-04-2003, 09:59 AM

If you are hungry Madden has a turducken nearby

Swaggs · 05-04-2003, 10:18 AM

14. Do not castrate a live bull.

Do not EDIT the players.

Unless you are the head coach AND commissioner, assuming that you wont be caught. Which brings me to this rule. If you ARE caught with the EDIT

18. DENY all charges as conspiracy and speculation then SWEAR on the bible if that doesnt work.

tucker342 · 05-04-2003, 11:20 AM

19. Don't let hookers get your credit card...
