Classic Coaching Meltdowns
SportsDystopia —
Since there was no baseball on tonight, no World Series preview to be written, and no part of me that felt like chiming in on the “will they or won’t they collapse?” debate swirling around the Rays at the moment, I decided to do something a little different. The Denny Green tirade I included in yesterday’s game 5 recap got me hungry for some more classic coaching meltdowns, so I decided to track down a few more of the better ones.
We’ll start off with a Jim Mora classic that’s a favorite of mine, and I’m sure it’s one of yours as well. Mora resigned as head coach of the Saints following the loss ...
Yeah, they didn't score points, but everything else was pretty much dead on.
God, what a...

God, what a horrible game.
Soundbytes Of The Decade - #4 Jim Mora
Randall Simon's Sausages —
As we reach the Final 4 Soundbytes of the Decade, we come to one of my personal favorites, and a soundbyte legend, Mr. Jim Mora. Jim Mora is one of my all-time favorite personalities in sports because he was the man that first led my Saints to prominence. He was the coach of the franchise's first winning season, division ...

As Bob Legere pointed out in his Daily Herald blog, the last person who ought to be commenting on someone’s demeanor during a postgame press conference is Jim Mora Sr. That cackling douchebag might have been entertaining in his pressers, but he didn’t exactly advance his team’s cause when he was shrieking like this:
or this:
I’m not a big fan of Jay Cutler’s pouty postgames either, but it beats Kyle Orton crying like he did after the Atlanta game last year, or Rex smirking like he really accomplished something when he wouldn’t lead a touchdown drive of more ...
With minds like this, how are newspapers dying?

The Chicago Sun-Times could be facing its final days (literally–it could be gone for good in two weeks) and the Tribune is somewhere around a billion dollars in the hole (and soon they won’t be able to blame Alfonso Soriano for it). And so you wonder, where will we all turn to for our sports news when they’re gone? Local newscasts only have about three minutes of sports, Comcast SportsNet is convinced that giving half-wits like Mike North and Dave Kaplan a combined four hours of airtime a day is a good idea. Sports radio in Chicago would already be dead if David Hernandez hadn’t done us all a favor and coaxed many (but ...
Lions' Schwartz Conjures Memories of Mora in Post-Game Presser
The Legend of Cecilio Guante —
Why the Long Face? Ahh yes, You Coach the Lions Few video clips can ever compete with Jim Mora's "Playoffs??!!" press conference tirade. It's legendary. Hell, it inspired a Coors Light commercial, which speaks volumes. But, of course, Mora had other gems. One of my personal favorites is what I like ...
