Leaders in history...fiction or otherwise...who remind your or our coaching regime

[HaydenHawk56]

Leaders in history who remind you of our coaching regime:

I will start:



1. General Custer

Foolishly, under his command, led 600 American troops against 3,000 Native Americans in the Battle of LIttle Bighorn. They were completely slaughtered.



2. Coach Ed "Straight Arrow" Gennero

Gennero loved his bread and butter play. "Round right 22-trap on three." Players were sick of it, QB calls a deep route, QB is benched for not sticking with the running play. His team, beat the best team on their schedule at the end of the year. Was pathetic most of the rest of that season.



3. Captain Edward John Smith

There wasn't one thing, including an iceberg, that was going to stop this A-Hole from making headlines in the papers. Straight ahead, full speed Murdoch.

Neville Chamberlain.

5. Sir Bedevere
A giant wooden rabbit featured in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. After the scene in which the French soldier taunts King Arthur and his knights at the French castle, Arthur has his men, on the advice of Sir Bedevere, build the Trojan Rabbit in order to storm the castle in the manner that the Greeks did during the Trojan War. However, the knights mess up the plan by not having anyone hide inside the rabbit. After the French soldiers take the rabbit into their castle, Sir Bedevere reveals the plan to King Arthur and everyone else and they realize that they messed it up. The French soldiers then catapult the wooden rabbit out of the fortress and it lands one of the pages.

George McClellen. Civil War general for the North who had a 4-1 advantage in man power but refused to attack. At least the guy in charge had the balls to fire him.

7. Vizzini

When his plans did not work everything was "inconceivable" to him. He could not win with a very good swordsman, a Giant, and with his brains. He died outsmarting himself.

8. Coyote

Give the Coyote credit, he did change things up quite often, but his play calling was all over the place. Never established an identity and got his ass handed to him by the Roadrunner with all of his speed from the SEC conference.

9. MacArthur.

While known for a once-in-a-lifetime on-the-field achievement (Inchon/Ohio State), his stubborn and self-superlative ways cost him throughout his career. Failure of execution caused him to lose to inferior forces on the Philippines (Purdue, ND State, Western Michigan, NIU, Central Michigan, etc), and his refusal to listen to intelligence sources got his forces overrun by the Chinese and almost lost the Korean Conflict because of it (Stanford, 2014 Minnesota, ASU, 2016 Outback Bowl, etc). A polarizing figure, it took a new president (AD) to finally fire him....which ironically labeled Truman a cad in the day but turned out to be the best move he ever made.

10. Dr. Jonas

Suffers from the same stubborn behavior as most of the "leaders" on this list. He will take his storm chasing team right down with him to prove a point that he is right and they do things his way.

And don’t forget, he was outstanding early in his career, in WW1 (2002-2005), before arrogance caught up with him.

[NCHawker]

Colonel Wilhelm Klink: the bumbling, Kommandant of Stalag 13. Dapper and proper. Always outsmarted by the opposition.

 

[NCHawker]

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf is a former Iraqi diplomat and politician. He came to wide prominence around the world during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, during which he was the Iraqi Information Minister under Saddam Hussein. He gained notoriety for saying things that everyone knew to be nonsense.

 

[NCHawker]

Geoffrey Chaucer - My lords! My ladies. And everyone else here not sitting on a cushion! (a roar from the crowd) Today....today....you find yourselves equals. For you are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure....of introducing to you a knight sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking His forgiveness for the Saracan blood spilt by his sword. Next, he amazed me further still in Italy when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishings of her dreadful Turkish uncle. In Greece, he spent a year in silence....just to better understand the sound...of a whisper. And so, without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, the Seeker of Serenity, the Protector of Italian Virginity, the Enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, SIR ULLLLLRICH VON LICHTENSTEIN!!


ok that was a bit off topic but awesome character.

 

[1hawkeye1]

The Most Interesting Man in The World. Pimps a bland mediocre product but somehow convinces people that it is quality. How does he do this? By saying that it is.
"Stay thirsty my friends"="Just gotta execute"
"I dont always drink beer, but when I do..."="That's football."

 

[PCHawk]

Well done guys.

15. Charlie Brown

Perhaps the most loveable loser on this list to date. The comparison between ole Chuck and Kirk is undeniable. No matter how many times Lucy pulls away the football, Charlie keeps coming back for more punishment. Charlie, like Kirk is a nice guy, but you know where nice guys often finish. Charlie sports the black and gold proudly.

Turns out Charlie's dog knows more about winning Xmas contests. When Charlie Brown was put in charge of Christmas play, they kept dancing to the same beat over and over again. He had one job to get the best Christmas tree in the lot and he choose the 1-2 star tree. Because of his assistant, Linus (and the rest of the peanut gang) they were able to fix it up into a 3-4 star tree.

Turns out Charlie also has a lot of holes in his Halloween schemes with his costume cutting skills. And for Thanksgiving, he can make toast, but he can't butter it.

No question about it, your a good man Charlie Brown, but you can't coach your little league team on game day.

I'd say hitler because if he had heeded the advice of his generals the entire planet would be blue eyed, blonde people but comparing anybody to hitler is a line one can't cross.

16. Old Man Withers

Who can forget Old Man Withers, owner and operator of the haunted amusement park. He almost gets away with his plans, but is always out schemed by young talent like the Mystery Machine Kids and their dog. Like a fake punt, Old Man Withers never saw these kids or their dog coming.

17. Bernie Madoff

Another old man on this list. How many Saturday's of watching our beloved Hawks feels like we are witnessing some sad Ponzi Scheme going on like Bernie use to run? Are we getting a good return investment of the product that is being put on the field? I don't know, but someone is Madoff really well to the tune of 4.5 million yearly.
