Best coaching meltdown of all time

My list:
1. Hal McRae ("Put that in your ******* pipe and smoke it!")
2. John Chaney vs. John Calipari ("SHUT UP! I'LL KILL YOU!")
3. Jim Mora - New Orleans
4. Jim Mora- Indianapolis
5. Jim Schoenfeld ("Have another donut, you fat pig!")
6. Dennis Green
7. Herm Edwards

A link to the best tirade of all time

 

McRea's is classic

 

Good list, I'd forgotten about McRae's, but it definitely deserves to be up there at the top. Chaney, Mora, and Green also deserve mentions on that list. Can't think of any others off the top of my head, although I'm sure there are some other good ones out there I'm forgetting about.

 

Don Cherry.

 

Giovanni Trappatoni at Bayern München, late 90s. It's beyond description, had a melt-down at a press conference, the whole thing made incredibly comic by his broken German. "Ich habe fertig!"

you tube

 

Kevin Keegan

I'd love it if we beat them!!!

 

QMAOFT and then some.

 

Check this out. No excuse for a coach doing this. Kentucky vs. Indiana, Kentucky's up one in the final seconds and the Indiana coach, Mike Davis, just loses it. If you haven't seen it, it's classic.

"Walk away, coach, walk away"

That ref was at one of USC's home games recently

Classic moment.

 

Medley of Jim Mora in New Orleans (Diddly-poo) and Indy (Playoffs?!)

 

For american sports, nothing tops Bobby Knight totally going nuts and throwing chairs.

 

Woody Hayes. It still amazes me how die hard OSU fans revere the man so much after what he did...



Woody

 

Clemson killed Woody Hayes and Lou Holtz. Clemson defetaed both of their teams and each game had a fight on the final game of their coaching careers.

 

There was recently the Colorado football coach yelling "This is Division I football, not intramurals!" or something similar to that... although he wasn't angry, just yelling for emphasis.

 

The problem I have with that guy is that it was not done in person in front of the media. It doesn't have the same impact as something done during or directly after a game. That said, it's a great soundbyte.

 

Yeah, and it wasn't exactly a meltdown... but its still great.

 

The Dennis Green one is classic....

 

"That SUCKED. We couldn't do diddley-poo offensively-"

"The Bears are WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!" Priceless

 

I don't get how that is a meltdown...

 

My friends the best meltdown was in 1982, Cubs manager Lee Elia.
