Mike Leach, Pepperdine lawyer turned swashbuckling football coach and quote machine, on the recent trend towards offensive geniuses real and supposed giving up their play-calling duties:
"I'm younger than those guys," he said. " ... I got into coaching to coach. Otherwise, you're just a handshaker."
Oh snap. "Handshakers" referenced in the article but probably not in the question, but that's no fun so let's just ignore that downer reality why don't we: Ralph Friedgen, Steve Spurrier, and Charlie Weis. (Weis, at the least, is one hell of a handshaker.)

Do I hear celebrity deathmatch? Anyone? Bueller?
