Just made this up:
__________________________________________________ _________________
(To the tune of Universal Soldier by Donovan)

He's 5' 2", he's 6' 4"
He fights with a headset atop his bonce
He's dressed in polo shirts, he's dressed in a suit
Been a coach for a thousand years

He's a Raven, a Raider, a Panther, a Jag
A Falcon, a Viking and a Bolt
And he knows he shouldnt yell
But he knows he does it well
Yell at you my friend for fumbling the ball

And he's fighting for a 1st down,
He's fighting for the next,
He's fighting for field goal range;
He's the one who must decide,
Whether to pass or whether to dive
And he hopes the defense will not change.

But without him,
How would Randy - have caught that TD pass,
Without him Brady would've stood alone;
He's the one who gives the orders
As a weapon of the team
And without him all the scoring cant go on.

He's footballs greatest Coach and he's always to blame,
When the team doesnt make it past the Fall
He comes from here and there and you and me
And brothers, can't you see;
This is the way we fight the gridiron war...

Kapitan Phillips, that's brilliant! (saving space by not quoting the whole thing).

I just wanted to give credit where credit's due: Donovan had a big hit with Universal Soldier, but it was written by Buffy Ste. Marie.
