My high school coach was not like that. He was admired — even revered — by the players. Thanks to him, we were always first or second in the state in both football and basketball. And I saw players pull off “impossible” plays that could not have been practiced in advance, but were the result of general competence and being inspired.
Just one simple example: Defense failed, and the QB was tackled with the ball still in his hand. Falling backward, he released the ball with his head and shoulders 2 feet above the ground… completing a 60-yard pass.

It’s colorful, alright, but not the good kind.

Just like every football coach I ever knew. A tyrant with a Napoleonic complex who gets his jollies from terrorizing his players. Teach not curse.

Fortunately, it appears to be a cursive form of Chinese, so no one’s feelings will be hurt.
