Reminds me of a story about Vince Lombardi when he was coaching at Notre Dame.
"Gentlemen, this is a submarine."
So when did Vince coach at Notre Dame?
It was the Green Bay Packers. Practice was going bad and Coach Lombardi was fuming. The atmosphere was very tense as he started lambasting the team. When he said "this is a football," Paul Hornung responded, "slow down, Coach, your going too fast." Everybody laughed, including the coach and that broke the tension.
At least that's how I heard the story.
What does a story about a band leader coaching piano players how to dive on a date have to do with anything? ;)
Dont believe Lombardi coached at Notre Dame. He coached at Fordham,West Point, and Green Bay.
