Coen attempted to do the "DUUUVAL!" chant popular among Jaguars fans to represent Jacksonville 's home county.

Adam Gase established the gold (or rust) standard for infamous coaching press conferences.

Mike Gundy lashed out at a reporter who wrote a story about quarterback Bobby Reid losing the Cowboys ' starting job and was seen being fed by his mother before a team flight.

Jim Mora questioned the Colts ' chances of making the playoffs after a 40-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Dennis Green was fired after the Cardinals blew a 20 -0 lead and eventually lost 24 -23.

Hal McRae was fired as Kansas City Royals manager after a 5 -3 loss to Detroit Tigers .

McRae stood up and began throwing objects from his desk, continuing to rant at reporters and his players.

The Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia's rant could arguably be considered the best of all time.
