Listening to football coaches can be a little scary, with their militaristic talk of marching down the field and annihilating the enemy. In fact, it can almost sound like listening to some kind of brutal dictator. Of the quotes in this quiz, can you identify which came from an NFL coach and which came from a dictator?
Take the Quiz: NFL Coach or Dictator?

I got 12 out of 12. Can’t decide if that’s something to get excited about or not.

Not as hard as I thought it would be… a couple I wasn’t sure of, but ended up with 12 out of 12!

12 out of 12, i shocked myself with that but there was a point at which I could not believe that a Football coach would refer to his team as an army, dead giveaway.

10 out of 12. I’m puzzled as well.

I believe Herm Edwards was a son of a career military man.
