Just For Fun: Pick Your Hollywood Coach And QB

PrintFrom the FanPosts. Great topic. -Joel
I figured I'd throw this up as a little bit of fun distraction for us from all the back and forth on who the Kansas City Chiefs new head coach should/will be.
Who would you want as the future head coach of the Chiefs, if you could pull them out of a movie?
Of course we might as well add quarterback to that list too. To be honest, I remembered the coaches way more than most of the quarterbacks, which says something about these movies.
Here's who I came up with:
Coach --------------- QB ----------------- Movie
Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves: The Replacements
Al Pacino, Jaime Foxx: Any Given Sunday
Billy Bob Thornton, Lucas Black: Friday Night Lights
Hector Elizondo, Scott Bakula: Necessary Roughness
Henry Winkler, ?????: The Waterboy
Burt Reynolds, Burt Reynolds/Adam Sandler: The Longest Yard (depends on which movie you are talking about)
James Caan, Craig Scheffer: The Program
Denzel Washington, Kip Pardue: Remember The Titans
You can also mix and match in the discussion or throw in anyone I've forgotten. Have fun!

I want Al Pacino from the Godfather 2
Michael Corleone around the time when he hired the hit on his brother-in-law. See before this, he was a good decent family man, didn’t want to be like his father, then he had his sisters snitch husband killed with a piano wire for going against the family. Calm, cool, and collected, and in control until shit needed to be taken care of…and when it did, he did it swiftly and without mercy.
My QB would have to be Zach Morris from around Season 4 of Saved by the Bell. Zach was the popular kid, dated Kelly Kopowski and was the most popular kid in school until that damn Slater got transfered and was the captain of the Wrestling team. Well Zach wasn’t going to take no shit from AC, so took the entire summer off, hit the gym and returned for his senior season in the best shape of his life so he could take down Kelly, Jesse Spano and even dip his toe in Lisa Turtle’s pool. See, I want that kind of committment from my QB.

Did you ever wonder how the entire group moved from Indiana to Bayside?
"Hater" is a term used by weak-minded people in the face of legitimate criticism.
So you are saying there is a hole in the story from Saved by the Bell?

As they didn’t age… But Bob Golic who did play in the NFL was on The College Years so there’s that.

Don't forget that Zach had the supernatural power of the "timeout"
Now which QB holds the league record for rushing touchdowns bitches?!
Never could figure out why he didn’t use that more…
"The Nightmare before Christmas"
would be the title

Rec'd for being the most appropriate title for the movie.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
With those two,
I think you’d have to go with BrokeBack Mountain. After watching that experiment I feel like I’ve been butt plowed.
I don't have a catchy, catch phrase.
Going out on a limb in terms of casting!
Head Coach = Jimmy Stuart, QB = James Dean
Oh yeah! Erratic, quirky head coach who appears lost at times and enters season as an underdog. But with a lovable personality and vote of confidence in the locker room is able to bring the team a well deserved championship. Not to mention, he would bring back the old school heach coach attire (suit and tie) to the Chiefs organization. And Dean as QB would bring an edge of coolness to the stadium, riding on to mid field in vintage Harley, a leather jacket tailored for his pads and dark shades. Yeah buddy!
I kinda think they might have hit their ceiling already... :)
Can they take a hit?

Sweet Topic!
HC – James Earl Jones from Best of the Best
The voice! The hardnosed determination. The voice! The caring and understanding second chances. The voice!
QB (and starter at every other position) – Dwayne The Rock Johnson from any of his movies EXCEPT Be Cool.
Dude is a stud, and he cares about his daughter, too . . .
But can the man throw?
I’d put him LDE personally.
Right next to Adam Sandler’s Bobby Bouche!

Bobby Bouche, and Sinbad from necessary roughness together… That’s the attitude I want on a team!

Boom, Super Bowl
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I am the Master of Hyperenthetical Asiditry (you know, like this. Only more)
Would rather have Elrond as HC, especially considering he has the gift of foresight and could see a blitz a day away!
Aragorn as QB and Legolas as a WR would work.
I would wonder about the clarity of Gandalf’s mind because of his “love of the halflings leaf”
To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.
I've had the same dream every night this week. I think it means that the spring season flopped and my subconscious has gone into reruns.

Varsity Blues – Jon Voigt, James Van Der Beek (“Mox”)! How can you forget Varisty Blues as an option?! haha

Going outside previously played roles and searching Hollywood in general...
HC – Christopher Walken – capable of creeping the team out. Players fear making mistakes and facing Walken’s weirdness. Same goes for the refs – all calls go our way.
OC – Ryan Gosling – the new hottest OC candidate on the block. Satisfies Pioli’s goal of HC in waiting.
QB – Josh Hartnett – dude’s apparently 6’3" tall, and get this – was a football player in high school. Satisfies necessary role of good looking QB, thus (1) bringing us closer to the "Patriots of the West " moniker as we now have natural looks to compete with Tom Brady, (2) gets the ladies all hot and bothered and wanting to watch Chiefs games, which makes most guys lives easier, (3) merchandise sales go through the roof, giving Clark Hunt more money that’s he’s actually willing to spend as opposed to locking away in his tower of gold coins which he swims in for daily exercise.

Who's gonna be the HC?

Rick Moranis

Rick Moranis and Devin Sawa, definitely!
I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
I dunno about HC and QB but I want him as my LB
Todd Haley - Crennel just prove to the world that you're a f***ing Joke! Matt Cassel - Orton showed with 3 weeks of practice you can beat the world champions. #7 your legacy is...you don't have one, you're a backup all along. Should never have been a starter in the NFL.

Just found this link
as it pertains to this discussion. Enjoy. But would fully change out Tony Danza for Kathy Ireland as our kicker
by Eastcoastransplant on Jan 5, 2012 12:11 PM CST reply actions
Ok, let's get silly
HC – John Connors (Christian Bale) – leads the resistance against the machines – should be able to lead a team vs. humans.
QB – Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) – doesn’t ring a bell? The kid from Rookie of the Year that gets ligament damage and ends up pitching for the Cubs after surgery gives him a super-arm. Just make him run backwards 20 steps and he can probably chuck it 80-100 yards.
Throw the stinky cheese!!

The movie "Radio"
Head Coach = Ed Harris
QB = Cuba Gooding Jr. as ‘Radio’ ha ha…couldn’t be any worse than what we’ve got now
Jaime Escalante of "Stand and Deliver" fame ... anyone who can get garrio kids to excel at calculus has something going for him

Pssh
Kevin Spacey as Keyser Soze as HC and Charlie Sheen as Wild Thing from Major League as QB…. #winning
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
Kyle Chandler and Zach Gilford or Michael B. Jordan
That’s Coach Taylor and Matt Saracen or Vince Howard for those of you that haven’t seen Friday Night Lights, the TV series. What are you waiting for? Go. Watch it. I’ll wait.
good show
Wish it wouldn’t have been cancelled. It got cheesy in some spots, but it is honestly probably one of the best family dramas of the past 10-15 years. Great acting.
I would also take Coach Taylor, Vince, Matt, or “6”

Hands down the best fictional depiction of football ever.
Friday Night Lights is one of the 4 or 5 best dramas ever produced for American broadcast television.
Clear eyes, full hearts can’t lose.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
yeah. I like him too in this one

HC: Clint Eastwood - GySgt Thomas Highway (Heartbreak Ridge)
OC: Clint Eastwood – Frankie Dunn (Million Dollar Baby)
DC: Clint Eastwood – Walt Kowalski (Gran Tourino)
Just picked my three favorite movies of his. Seriously though, other than Morgan Freeman, is there any other actor who has successfully pulled off roles that could fill all three of these jobs?

Without a past, we have no future.
And since this thread is about QBs too
QB: Clint Eastwood – Harry “Dirty” Callahan (Magnum Force)

George Burns..John Denver..Oh God
John Denver was a klutz but did not matter when God is making everything go you way and even though not football related it could still work…its GOD
**Heres to 5 err 4 more years of JC!!!!**
QB: Reno Hightower from "The Best of Times" (Kurt Russel)
HC: Goldie Hawn from “Wildcats”
and they could be married and…
In wondrous beauty, once again, shall the golden tables stand mid the grass, which the gods had owned in the days of old.
I know it's a TV show and not a movie
But how has the combo of Coach Taylor and Vince Howard from Friday Night Lights not been on here? I’d take them over any one of those other combos.
