CHAD HENNE’S OLD COACH PREFERS BETAMAX
Does Chad Henne ever seem…traumatized to you? You know, as if something had happend to him leaving him ever-shaken and a little unsure of himself?
Well, he played high school football for Jim Cantafio, who evidently prefers Betamax to VHS and makes a very strong showing of it in the footage below. Reader Carson showed us this, and for that we owe him immensely. The 2003 video shows the pregame speech of an unhinged Cantafio displaying the signs of a man who has just slipped into tertiary syphilitic madness. Or perhaps rabies. We’re not doctors, you know, but either way an infectious agent of some sort seems to be to blame here.
Poor Chad Henne. After playing football for Cantafio, Lloyd Carr must seem like working for Mrs. Dalloway.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE? DO YOU!!!???!!!???

This guy is what is wrong with high school football. He should not
be allowed to coach. A total nut job that doesn’t have a clue what it
means to be a coach. As a coach I am embarrassed to think I am part of
the same profession. Hopefully no coach watching this would think it was
great and they will try the same tactic.

Come on guys…….The best coaches have a screw loose……The man’s showing crazy passion for what he believes in…….Something like that would pump me up. I guess you all are a bunch of grass ferry soccer players that listen to crazy mexican music before a game to get pumped…..buncha damn pansies.

Phil says:
My kids went to the HS where canatfio was just canned.
He has a great record, but is not a likeable guy. He gets hired because he wins, but lost his job a Conestoga HS several years ago when there was something between him and one of the cheerleaders who subsequently became his wife.
He lost his job at wilson (rumor has it) because of irregularities in using school facilities to promote his very lucrative summer football camps (which Henne participtaes in). It wouldn’t surprise me if he became part of Henne’s posse if he hits it big in the pros.

If a genie granted me three wishes, my first would be to have my own theme music. And that music would be Orff’s Carmina Burana, expecially the O Fortuna part. I’m just not sure it’ll work as background for the life of a residential construction manager like it does for live football action or crazed high school coaches.

A few things:
- DANNY! DO YOU DANNY? HUH DANNY? DO YOU DANNY? DO YOU HAVE PRIDE DANNY? HUH?
- Is that Wilson football? Is that what we puh-sacerifice our life for?
- He shoulda ended it in the most cliche way by tell them to win one for the Gipper. That was the most predictable, and gayest speech a coach could make.
- The kid behind 77, 58, DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THIS SPEECH. LOL.
- Post 57 and 20 are classic

I’m a little late to this thread, but to add to the list of crazy/stupid things our old coaches said…Coach Oz is the champ. He was also our track coach, and listening to him try to explain the effort we should put forth during our ladder workouts was truly an unreal experience…but since we’re talking about football here, these are his best two:
“People, if they score first, well, then…then we’re gonna have to come from behind!”
“People, if you lose this game, you don’t deserve to go undefeated!”
Both 100% true – 50+ witnesses to each…GO ROCKETS!

Shit..I’m late to this party, but that was some top notch coachin’ right there.
To share a coaching story from my youth: The high school I went to had the nickname “Golden Eagles”.
On time in the early 80’s, the cross-town high school coach–as a motivational ploy prior to the big intra-city game–spray-painting a chicken gold and then had his players chase it around the football field.
I forget the ultimate fate of the chicken–I don’t think the players were expected to kill it, just catch it. Regardless, though, the coach got in a bit of trouble for that one.
Good times.

Reading some of the comments to the film, I’m convinced that some of these posters never saw the inside of a HS football locker room. You think this guy’s over the top? This is nothing. My high school coach wigged out at on a level far higher than this. The man pulled his own hair out, broke clipboards over his own and our heads, kicked us in the ass, tackled us, beat his own nose with a football until the blood ran down his face. He was nuts…and we loved him. He beat Moeller when he was at Cincinnati Woodward (probably in the mid 1970s). Crazy old school coach….too bad this generation is dying out.

Submitted for your consideration, a scenario that could very easily have happened:
1. In an effort to get his team Pavlovian response churning, Coach rips apart plastic tape right next to offensive lineman’s face.
2. Piece of plastic flies off, hits offensive lineman in the eye, causing permanent corneal damage.
3. Offensive lineman’s family sues coach.
4. Coach is placed on indefinite leave (paid, of course)
5.Story makes national headlines, because who doesn’t like to hear a story about an idiot coach who injures a player in the name of school spirit?
6. coach is branded an emotional nut job, and is essentially blacklisted.
7. Coach countersues everybody he can get his hands on for defamation of character.
8. Entire situation spawns a nationwide cable-news debate about whether we, as a nation, take sports too seriously.
9. Katie Holmes announces she is pregnant again, and everyone quickly forgets about debating the role of sports in America.

This guy is a joke, and as others point out, he is far from alone in the coaching profession. Anyone with a brain would find this sadly funny rather than inspiring and motivating. Then again, if these bitter ex-high school stars couldn’t try to relive their past glory by living vicariously through their players, who would they have to take their personal frustration and feelings of inadequacy out on?

Yeah, but from what I hear they went out and promptly lost the game. So they’ve got that going for them. Which is nice.

Love it. Dude is a total Joner.
When I was a kid, our Midget League(talk about politically incorrect,) coach had the team surround the goal post, just after pre-game warm-ups. He then proceeded to take a leak at the base of the post. I can still smell the beer on his breath, steam rising in the air, while his piss splatters onto several kid’s socks.
Oh for the good ol days. We went undefeated, but that stuff would never happen today.

“coach has gone crazy”
Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who’s the slimy little communist shit, twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?

Come on, we all know that Lombardi used to do this all the time. He would get in Jerry Kramer’s face all the time and scream, “DO YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE, JERRY?
