THIS WEEKISH’S POLL: TELEVISED PROFANITIES
The next semi-weekly poll question will be announced shortly, but first we review the results of our prior poll, “What’s the Most Suggestive Offense.” The winner by a nose: The Spread Option with 503 votes. The “Cock ‘n Fire” came in second with 453 votes, but we suspect that was just Blake Mitchell giggling and clicking in late-night drunken websurfing sessions.
The new poll question: which college football coach will be caught on-air saying the most profanities next season? Your choices:
1. Pete Carroll. If you wonder why, then fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
2. Will Muschamp, Texas DC. Boom Motherfucker gets to parade his stuff on those nice, big sensitive ABC Big 12 mikes.
3. Les Miles. A wordsmith who can’t resist dropping his Schembechler emphases in the most routine of press conferences.
4. Jim Leavitt. ANGRY WORDS MAN WANTS MR. FIST TALK TO YOU.
5. Nick Saban. The Dark Lord is capable of leaving dark scorch marks on the pants of your ears.
Vote early, vote often, and remember: snakes in the wild don’t want to be picked up-they simply crave the touch of humans in their very bones. Especially the drunk humans.
ps. Cookie monster is sadly ineligible for this post.

I want to vote for Boom Motherfucker but I think college football camera laws dictate that coordinators get much less face time than the head coaches in accidental camera shots.
Of course, he could make up for it by sheer volume of f-bombs.

Wow I cant believe rich rodriguez isnt on the list, especially if they dont get TP.

Pete Carroll’s is completely understandable. He was pointing that F-bomb directly at Mike Bellotti on the opposing sidelines. As a life-long Oregon State fan, Pete’s actions and words are reasonable and, actually, quite restrained. Oh, and another note, Mike Bellotti is an anagram for: Like tit blo me.

I would vote for Boom MotherFuckin’ Muschamp, but they don’t actually televise most Big XII games, now do they?

What!? No Slick Rick?
This is officially a Write In vote cast for Slick Rick.

Hmm. Well, Smiling Pete has to look across at, variously, Harbaugh, Neuheisel, and Belotti… so at least three instances, then.
But it’s got to be Muschamp for the win.
Drogue @ 5 - tempting, but I think he’ll just suspend the cash-under-the-seat program to make his point. Gots to pay the bookies somehow.

You left out DickRod:

I vote for Pete, since his games will be on tv every week, and hes not a coordinator, so he’ll get a lot of face time. SEC guys I duno, they might be more inclined to say something like “dagnabbit” or “josh durn” or “well isnt that just perfect” rather than a crisp “fuck you.”

i would take exception to #5 if it wasn’t made by a guy with a handle referring either to a hyper-intellectual band from hippyville, or, or a failed russian revolt, both of which indicate he cannot possibly be a true foobaw fan, as true fans care not for commies or any music not made by toby keith, lynyrd skynyrd, or .38 special
oh, and leavitt is the clear choice here, as he’s rarely seen not in the middle of a meltdown

I voted for Muschamp, but I suspect being on a broadcast channel as opposed to cable, coupled with his well publicized fondness of the French language, will lead to the dish mic being pointed in the oposite direction.
Saban may actually get more to slip through to our screens. But I guess it all depends on how good the Lincoln Financial sound engeneers do their jobs.

One would expect an Auburn grad (even a finance major) to be able to spell “engineer” correctly.

Joe Kines, if you could understand him.
And Patrino might be an F-bomb machine, we just don’t know yet.

yep… #5 clearly doesn’t get ABC on his TV.
As for the poll I think you make Jim Leavitt the favorite due to the face time head coaches get.
Bob Stoops has been fortunate so far in his career. There have been several games where you can read his lips and tell what he thinks of a call. “That’s bullshit!! That’s just bullshit!!”

Too bad Joe Lee Dunn isn’t around anymore. Back when he was interim head coach at Ole Miss and I was working for the campus TV station, I had a nice clear clip of him saying “SHIT! DAMN!”

Shula was quite the f-bomb dropper in his stay at the Capstone.

Holly, you could be right about Willingham. Particularly since he’s ranked #1 on the 2008 Coaches Hot Seat.
As far as the others, there’s something to be said for coaching or having coached at LSU, because Saban, Muschamp, and Miles are all on this list.

@ 13, TigerinATL:
Don’t worry. No one will notice. We’re too busy being impressed that someone with an Auburn degree is able to coerce their thoughts into sentences.
I’m voting Miles. His frustration over picking LSU instead of his dream job will come through when his deficiencies as a coach are undressed for all to see next season.

I’m going to have to go ahead and write in a vote for Jon Tenuta. I realize its a risky bet with him being a coordinator and what not, but hear me out here. He’s a new coach (Co-DC) at Notre Dame, which guarantees him at least a couple of seconds of face time on NBC during every Irish home game, which could be more than enough for a man who singlehandedly cussed enough to keep GT fans from bringing their kids to scrimmages (There’s documentation of that somewhere on the interwebs).

Nobody has taken Charlie Weis yet? He’s a notorious potty-mouth who is under some serious pressure after a bad year. He could explode if things goes wrong early in the season.

#16, I don’t know where you live, but in every state that doesn’t have a 3-to-1 cow-to-human ratio, they show ACC, Big East or PAC-10 games on ABC.
Here’s an idea, get a network to take your contests national, bitchezzz, like the SEC’s arraingement with the Columbia Broadcasting System.
This ends the ‘regional smackdown’ portion of the comments.
