CHAD HENNE'S OLD COACH PREFERS BETAMAX

I believe I just witnessed an assault. Poor danny. Hope he found his pride.

If the video had gone on just a few seconds longer, I’m pretty sure we would have seen Hulk Hogan hit Coach Cantafio with a steel chair.

WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHA?

Full Metal Jacket comes to Wilson High School, and Danny is Private Pyle.

This explains a lot.

I prefer the Million Dollar Belt, but whatever.

I got chills when the crushed the tape. He showed awesom-a power!

my favorite part is the close-up at the end, when you can see the spittle gleaming on cantafio’s lips as the pale blond kid looks on in terror.

Pride leaked out the bottom of number 77’s pant leg.

Well, that about sums up why I played soccer in high school…

Reminds me of when my high school coach screamed if we had any balls, then demanded that we stick our hands down our pants and grab them while we sceamed YES.

I HAVE to know whether they won the game or not.

I guess I’m lucky my high school coach only suffered from the occasional bout of amphetamine psychosis.

P.S. Comment moderation? Is EDSBS under attack during hate week?

1. looks defeated…I don’t think he has ANY PRIDE!!!!!!!

Not sure what you mean, Phil.

It takes a special kind of man to make a career at intimidating 15 and 16 year olds…geez what a nut job!

Henne: "Danny, if Cantafio finds us here, we’ll be in a world of shit."

Danny: "I am… in a world… of shit."

My high school coach once said in a pregame speech, “football is one half offense, one half defense, and one half special teams.”

He was serious. It was his “…when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor” moment.

My HS coach was about the exact opposite of that. He talked just like the indecipherable coach from the Waterboy (this was South Carolina, by the way) and once told us before a game to not to try and give 110% since you couldn’t give more than 100% and you might hurt yourself if you tried. Say what you will but this was the kind of coaching that won a state championship.

1. - beauty.

My high school coach was an idiot, and even the assistants laughed at him. There was a rumor that he had his own “special” water bottle for game.

Anyway, one time one of the linemen screwed up in practice and he yelled “Everyone’s laughing at you! The coaches are laughing at you, your teammates are laughing at you, the people watching in the woods are laughing at you!” So apparently he though people were stalking him in the woods next to the practice field. Another time he congradulated a player for “making chicken salad out of a bad situation.”

“…the signs of a man who has just slipped into tertiary syphilitic madness. Or perhaps rabies.”

Very funny. I always figured you for a stand up comedian with a terminal case of stage fright.

Cantafio: “Are you quitting on me? Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy fucking walrus-looking piece of shit. Get the fuck out of my locker room. Get the fuck out of my locker room. Now. Move it. I’m going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world. I will motivate you, Danny, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo.”

O, when I posted a couple threads down my comment appeared under the heading “This comment awaiting moderation. Please do not post the same comment twice,” or something to that effect. I figured maybe you had had an onslaught of UT trolls or something.

I once had a Coach try to motivate us by playin Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” in the lockerroom before a game. I was 14 and haven’t gotten over it to this day.

Phil K. — It may have done that because you posted as “Phil K. (does not stand for Knight)” instead of “Phil K.” The system automatically moderates first-time commentators. It’s happened to me to when I’ve made typos in my name.

For those who may be interested…..they lost to Hempfield that night. Incidentally, Chad Henne is wearing #7 and can be seen filing out with the team at the end of the session.

Was that real? Oh my God.

I was expecting at any moment to hear him yell, “A pledge pin?! On your uniform?!” before making Danny drop and give him 20.

If this coaching thing doesn’t work out he could become a wrestling manager. He’s believable, off kilter enough to take the occasional chairshot and would freak out the lil’ ones.

Only he has no camera sense. He never worked the televised audience, which begs the question, but not really, “Hey guy, you know the red light is on, right?”

Mostly it just makes me cry a little for Woody Hayes. He could have coached forever in Lancaster County apparently.

Mrs. Dalloway? Wow. That’s an image that I would have never associated with coach carr – but now, of course, I’ll always see him as a melancholy, self-sacrificing, suicidal english housewife (who throws fantastic parties, that last 2 seconds too long).

The National Weather Service is announcing a saliva storm warning for Lancaster County as Slobbercane Cantafio moves ashore…

I agree with Dave. Total Niedermayer moment.

I hope whoever they were playing that day wasn’t just the shitty little team from down the road… Like how Michigan Makes Eastern/Western/Central Michigan PAY!!! for the embarrasments they suffered the previous year.

That was fun. Love that 77 found something extremely interesting to look at on the floor.

Has anyone seen the Taurean Charles documentary? The D coach in that one makes Cocach Cantafio look like an anthropology professor, by comparison.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0377001/usercomments

nothing like a middle aged guy who has gained such perspective on life…fucking sad

Wow…and I thought my old high school coach was nuts.

“Akeem, why arn’t you running?”
“My dick hurts coach.”
“Son, you don’t have a dick…you have a wee-wee son. I got 5 kids grabs crotch this thing is loaded. NOW RUN.”

Danny, Danny, Danny…where has your pride gone? Poor bastard, it probably took him at least until midway through the 2nd qtr. for the shell shock to dissipate.

And right as he started feeling less like a molested child and more like a molested child who plays football…it was halftime, and Coach made things worse for his pitiful first half performance.

Tertiary syphilis. An impressive reference.

What a whack job of a coach.

Different vibe, but all I could think of was the Roman centurion…“does it make you laugh when I say my friend’s name…..Biggus…..Dickus?”

If any one of those kids had laughed (and lots of us have been in locker rooms like that) the whole place would have come apart.

Was the school they played really called Hempfield?!?!

I surprised that noone is making reference to the goofball in all of the Twisted Sister videos.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!!!

Once, my old HS coach was giving a ridiculous speech like that. I was in the back trying to hold in my laughter and looked at my friend, who was doing the same. He saw me and started cracking up! As it turned out, my coach really was that crazy, and my friend found his pride…at the end of a right hook!

The utter lack of a response from any of them makes me pretty sure that this wasn’t the first time this had happened. I wonder what happened after the game, he should have gone all Tarantino on ’em.

Why did they skip the part where the coach finds the "Twisted Sister" logo in a playbook?

1. - assignment for tonight – rent/buy/steal and watch animal house.

Come on, you know at halftime Henne stood up to the Coach and then gave the “next 24 minutes for the next 24 minutes” speech. (That would be heroic).

Miss Davis… will you go to the prom with me?

Orff’s “Carmina Burana” is the classical equivalent of P.O.D.’s “Boom” when it comes to football highlight tapes.

I can’t decide which pre-game speech was less inspiring: this one or Shula in the Nike commercial.

HAHAH…thats a riot. I played for his brother who never did anything like that.

we did have a coach who gave the best pre-game talks ever not as over the top as that but great talks.

good old jim has a pretty good record in PA…he had a little trouble (i think) with a female student or was accused of it and it sent him on his way from one job…he has bounced around the state mostly in the lancaster area and also once to northeastern PA …he usually has some strong teams but he is as you saw a little off.

OhioDawg- perfect M. P. refence there. Along similar lines, I was reminded of fraternity initiation and how I got the whole group repeatedly killed because I couldn’t keep myself from laughing (I actually think they used the “Biggus Dickus” line on me). I would have had to choke myself to the point of blacking out to avoid exploding during Cantafio’s rant. After that it would have been the Porky’s principal’s office scene. Well, either that or bloodshed.

cppr -
That’s so weird that you would post that – because, while I was watching the video – he just struck me as the kind of guy who would be messing around with teenage girls… maybe it was the scarlet and white (almost no gray) uniforms.

I think the coach was waiting for danny to say some thing like “Yes coach, I have pride who’s with me” like it was some movie or something. Instead, he just ended up trying to hide the urine streaming down his leg.

That Wilson head coach is a fucking amateur. The pros like Jackie Sherril take their teams to bull castrations for the full effect. Beats out a VHS tape any day of the week.

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.

DO YOU HAVE PRIDE?!?!?!? I had it once, but now…………………. I LIVE IN A VAN…. DOWN BY…… THE RIVER!!!!!!!! IS THAT WHERE YOU WANT TO LIVE SON? A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER?!?!?!?

1. was trying very hard not to cry

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.

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.

Wow…I think Cantafio just said, “Fuck you, Rush Probst!”

MTV should be calling within the hour.

Orgeron would’ve eaten the VHS tape and craped a Blu-Ray disc of Friday Night Lights on the trainers table.

Cantafio — “Why are you still here???!?”

Danny — “I got nowhere else to go!!!”

DO YOU KNOW WHO HAS YOUR PRIDE?…..DO YA?……………….DING!

Meanwhile… in the Henfield locker room, their coach is playing a tape of Cantafio set to “Yackity Sax” with the captions “Wilson’s head coach is batshit crazy.”

needs more cowbell…

Todd Wheeler is a god among men. all he gets to do is watch us hit each other and hump his wife. shit we’re lucky.

my coach once told us we “urinated in our athletic supporters”. We had a team meeting afterwords to tell half the team that meant we pissed in our jocks.

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.

Coach: Just be the pride, be the pride, be the pride. You’re not being the pride Danny.

Danny: It’s hard when you’re talking like that.

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!

Coach: “go ahead Danny, squirt a few. C’mon,squirt a few.”

The final score of the game was…

Hempfield – 27
Wilson – 24

Do you have pride Danny, Do you Danny!?!?!

Danny: No Coach!

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.

uhh..that should be “spray-painted”

Tertiary syphillis..

LMAO!

I feel sorry for this guy’s wife. There’s more to life than high school football. Pathetic!!!

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.

Woe to those who disgrace the name of Wilson.

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.

Touche…Erik! Katie or Britney or J-Lo or….

that wasn’t that bad. All he did was yell a little and the players responded in the way he wanted…
They were ready to go kick some you know what. All these comments made it sound like the coached cursed them all out and pissed on them

LET’S SHOW EVERYONE IN THE LANCASTER SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT WE HAVE PRIDE………HOORAY!!

We’re going to go to Hempfield, then we’re going to McCaskey, then we’re going to Conestoga Valley, then we’re going to Manheim…HEY!!!!!!!

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?

The only way this video could’ve been better, is if the background music was the benny hill show theme. Keeping a straight face is impossible

“You take drugs, Danny?”
“Every day.”
“Then what’s your problem?”
“I don’t know.”

This is one of those things thats been going on for 50+ years, but when it finally gets exposed every non-highschool- football playing concerned citizen acts like they had no idea

“that wasn’t that bad. All he did was yell a little and the players responded in the way he wanted…
They were ready to go kick some you know what. All these comments made it sound like the coached cursed them all out and pissed on them”

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.

Danny! You little scumbag! I got your name, I got your ass! You will not laugh, you will not cry, you will learn by the numbers, I will teach you! Now get up off your face! Danny you better unfuck yourself before I unscrew your head and shit down your neck!

“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? The fairy fucking godmother said it. Out-fucking-standing. I will PT you all until you fucking die. I’ll PT you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk.

I can honestly say I would have put his ass on the floor if he grabbed my face like that.

What a whacko.

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? DO YOU?” And back then in the film projector and record player era, he was all the more dramatic because he had to break both the film reel and the record

I’m from Hempfield and we actually beat them in that game, can’t even imagine what he said after the game. He’s actually a great coach.

A great coach who got SUSPENDED FOR CHEATING!!!!

Nice use of “Karmina Burana” for the soundtrack to his video. Very dramatic, indeed.

Where did this video go? Any relation to Jim Cantafio?

Hey, I saw they took the video down. Does anyone have it saved or is it posted anywhere else, I didn’t see it on youtube.

I was a player for Coach Cantafio and I have to say although he can be crazy at times, he was a great coach and person in general. He did everything for me to get me to the best I could be.
