Another one that should be on here is Dennis Green, after the Cardinals blew a huge lead on MNF to the Bears: "The Bears are who we thought they were! That’s why we took the damn field! Now, if you want to crown them, then crown their ass! But, they are who we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

My all-time favorite coaching rant. Such passion.
