Had to share this story, some of you may know it already...
My second HC job was one that I shouldn't have taken. Professionally it was a disaster! I was not ready, made some poor decisions, and a bit naive, but that is beside the point...
We struggled mightily in my second year and were going through what would be the worst possible 1-9 you could ever have. We won the first game, and were in process of losing all of the rest. Some big names dotted this schedule...Owasso, Broken Arrow, Muskogee, and a little school know as Jenks. So we are getting ready to play Sand Springs. Dang good team, and a team a fellow poster on this board was the HC of. We knew we needed something to keep the kids going, so we had pulled the Ninja out from the book of Leech and were prepared to unleash it on the unsuspecting Sandites....
In our pregame meeting, said HC walks up to me and utters these now famous words...
"Uh, I really don't know what to say so I'm just gonna tell you....If you planning on running the Ninja to start the game...we know about it...."
Seems they had received an anonymous phone call during the week outlining our plans....
We completed the 1-9, including a several 50+ losses to above mentioned heavyweights, and I was fired a week after the season...
I really should write a book!
Please share your stories of skulduggery, chicanery, and subterfuge ....

Same thing happened to me at my first HC job. We put in 2 tight against a certain defense we would be seeing. The guy I replaced, whom was not on my staff, but had a kid on the team, called and told the team we were playing. The coach told me later about this. And that place wonders why they can't win.

Not even surprised. Was he related to the gal you were dating as well, or was that just a school board member situation thing. You have the best stories. |

No, he was the guy that tore his bicep at Boz's old place in SEOK, at team camp.

I know we all want to win, but I truly believe your integrity is the only thing you have. Opposing coach could have kept information to himself, been prepared for our "tricks", and gone on like nothing happen. It impressed me that he had the integrity to tell me what was going on. I know that Louisville is getting hammered right now, but what about all those other schools that accepted information from the #wakeyleaks radio announcer. It is really a sad indictment of those other coaching staffs.

when i first became a DC we were playing our rival school that's about 30 minutes away. they have a goofy looking roadrunner looking mascot.
anywho........i'm pretty good friends with their DBs coach over there. always talk back and forth trying to sandbag one another on how good, or in our case bad, we are.
the week before that, i had gotten some info from a coach at another school that our rival was going to bust out triple option on us. they were a 1 back spread team and had never run triple option in any game that whole year. they ran inside/outside zone, stretch, dart, counter, etc but had never shown triple option.
so week of the game, i hit my buddy up and ask him when they planned on busting out their triple option on us. of course he starts sandbagging and asking me what the h3ll i'm talking about. i was like, well i heard through the grapevine about it and thought i'd ask.
so we show up to their place and go out for pre-game. i find my buddy and am standing there talking to him and i ask him about the triple option again. he starts backpedaling and sandbagging and saying "we don't run that shat". as soon as he said that i looked at him and said, "if you aren't running it, then why is your QB coach down there working on mesh points and pitches?"
he turns and looks down, and sure as sh*t, the QBs coach is running mesh points and pitches. he goes "well mother phucker." he runs down and starts chewing out the QB coach. tells him........."hey dumba$$, why are you running mesh points when their DC is standing right down there!"
least to say, we were prepared for it when they busted it out in the 2nd quarter. they went back to their original stuff pretty quick.

Someone must have nailed the other guys sister, and jealousy erupted. I think me and Eagle OC were wearing our oily trucker hats and giving Dub and Boz h3ll, since they gave us the Road Warrior shoulder pads the day before. |

Happened to me as well. We were 0-notaprayer playing a team that was just as talented with the same record. Our Benedict Arnold (most likely the superintendent) not only gave away our formations but also our signals. Needless to say we were soundly defeated 21-7 in the toilet bowl.
