John McKay QuotesUnder the pressure of a long losing streak, Coach McKay became known for issuing notable, often hilarious, statements. Among them:
When asked about his offense's execution: "I'm in favor of it".
On hearing about kicker Pete Rajecki's nervousness at playing in front of McKay: "That's unfortunate, as I plan on attending all the games".
At a postgame press conference: "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a bunch of bananas."
At the following week's press conference, after a member of the media left a case of bananas at his door: "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a Mercedes-Benz."[9]
On John Brodie's comment that Steve Spurrier throws one of three passes into the ground: "That's OK, we'll just get shorter receivers."[10]
"We've determined that we can't win at home and we can't win on the road. What we need is a neutral site."
"We didn't block real good, but we made up for it by not tackling."[11]
When asked how he compared coaching in Tampa to coaching at USC: "It's a three-hour time difference."[12]
"I thought all along that we would win 14 games. Right after the opening kickoff I said, "Well, I'll be damned".
"I've been telling the players, 'Let's have a good time.' (Pause) They took me literally".
"Mr. Culverhouse has been a great owner. He hasn't come to the dressing room yet to give me any suggestions. Well, I need some advice. I called the Baltimore owner, but he was busy".[1]
To players planning on staying in Tampa over the offseason: "Stop by my office tomorrow and pick up some fake noses and mustaches so no one recognizes your sorry asses".[13]
"We'll be back. Maybe not in this century, but we'll be back."[14]
