College Football Coach Look-a-Likes: Just For Fun
Posted by The Danza on Dec 7, 2007
While I’ve been strangely obsessing over what coach is getting fired or hired over the last few weeks, I’ve noticed that there a number of head and assistant coaches out there that look a lot like or similar to other famous people, real or fictional. Now, I have below all of the look-a-likes I could find or think of off the top of my head and after looking around for a while. Enjoy these, and please, join the party and add pictures of coaches and their lookalikes as I know this cannot possibly be an exhaustive list. There’s GOT to be other funny ones out there.

lou holtz is droopy
I think ya’ll got the comparison on Les Miles wrong. Kurt Russell as Snake Plisken from Escape from New York would have been way better. Oh, and you got caption for Jim Tressel wrong. It should read, Jim Tressel vs. ESPN’s Talking Fetus.
I could buy Kurt Russell and Les Miles, but not Kurt Russell from Escape. Put Miles in an eye patch and let his hair grow out and maybe.
Well then lets turkey slap him in the eye and call it a day.
nice
Done. Turkey slapped.
“she done loved him up and turned him into a h-h-horny toad.”
Saban as Lumbergh?? Ummm, yeah… I’m gonna have to sort of disagree with you on that one.
Lou holtz is Granny on the Beverly Hill Billies.
I can’t believe you left out Hal Mumme and Ted Dansen (sp?)
Mark Richt = Helen Hunt
Lou Holtz is Irene Ryan (Granny, Beverly Hillbillies) resemblance is spooky.
Al Borges is Rick Majerus
NEW SPORTS TERM: “Pulling a Saban” = coach gives up on a failing Pro team, and goes back to coaching college where it is easier to have a winning record. (+/- lies/denials of being a coward/giving up).
(Originated by: Nick Saban who gives up on the Miami Dolphins and runs for cover to coach the Alabama Crimson Tide).
David Cutcliffe is Tim Conway
On, Pulling-A-Saban. Have you ever considered that just maybe Saban and others were let down by the owners who bring in a big-name coach and expect instant change. Positive change does not happen without excellent talent. The Dolphins did not and do not have excellent talent. The Redskins do not and did not have excellent talent with Spurrier or Gibbs. Let’s put the blame where it really belongs, with the deep-pocketed owners and with Universities who have bought into the madness that is now head coaching.
Les Miles looks like Steve Martin to me.
Can somebody put their pictures together on here? I don’t know how.
Ok, that’s bad pictures to compare, but I do see where you’re coming from. Must be the facial expressions.
That should be the Stay Puft marshmallow man, although I think Fulmer looks more like Mr. Potato Head. In any case, there’s not much between the ears.
