From inside jokes to colorful language and full-on meltdowns, we asked a dozen-plus coaches for their very best stories.

Inside the headset can be the most chaotic, stressful or — depending on the game — entertaining place in any college football stadium at any given moment. From inside jokes to colorful language and full-on meltdowns,asked a dozen-plus coaches for their very best stories from the headset over the years.“My headset stories are probably not to be reproduced. And I’ve got some amazing headset stories,” Oklahoma coach Brent Venables says, laughing.

So we’re going back and forth and one of our players goofed up. I even remember the name: Alfred Smith. Good kid. Great player. He missed a tackle, and me and the coach who was on the field were going off about it and maybe said some words that we shouldn’t have said.All of a sudden the tower asked the in the plane a question, and the said, “Well, I’m not sure what you’re asking me, but I’m real glad I’m not Alfred Smith.” We all just started dying laughing.

So we lined up A.J. Brown into a formation. I guess we were at about the 35, 40-yard line. We’re outside of field goal range so you either were gonna have to punt them deep or you’re gonna kick an unrealistic field goal attempt. We line A.J. up and I called a deep ball.

I said, “Listen. We have no communication. Our phones aren’t working.” We can all look at their sideline and all of them are walking up and down the sideline, no problem. They’re relaxed. All their coaches had their phones, obviously theirs are working. And I’m on the field, I’d never had that happen before. And I said, “The phones don’t work. You’ve got to understand, we’re not starting this game.” said, “Coach. It’s not an NCAA rule. It’s a gentleman’s agreement.

We actually started playing better in the fourth quarter. I started getting after their ass a little bit just about, “Wake up. What are you doing?” and from there on out, we had a lot of success with me coming down from out of the press box.
