Dang right it is still the greatest and not just because he cussed. He cussed and his face didn’t even wince. He was zoned in like the game was still going. The reporter tried to make a joke that one time and Jerry answered immediately without wincing. So great.
ABSOLUTELY!!! Life-long Bears fan here. Trying to get my son to love the game as I do. Interviews, highlight reels, coaches and player stories. Burns was always a favorite of me and my dad after a game. Showed this to my son and he is his favorite coach of all time (for now). He said that watching this and him going off on the sideline during the games made my son ask why he's so mad that they are on his lawn. Lol
I’ve been a Vikings fan all my life, born in Minneapolis, grew up with this team two years after their beginning as a team through all the ups and ALL the downs. I love the Vikings. I have never been prouder to say that I am a fan than 5 November 1989 when Coach gave his post game press.
I saw on NFL Network they had a Top 10 Coaching Conference Meltdowns/Rants.... and this was not even on the list. I was absolutely shocked since this would be #1 no doubt. The only reason I could think they excluded this from the list was because they weren't allowed to include it since this display by Burnsy was too much for the general public to handle. Such a masterpiece. This should be in the Smithsonian Museum. RIP Jerry
The scoreline: Vikings, 7 field goals and a safety. Rams, 3 touchdowns and 3 PAT's. Vikes win, 23-21 in OT. Unprecedented. I'm pretty sure this is the only game in NFL history where the losing team scored more than two touchdowns more than the winner.
It’s hard to keep track but here’s my count, I could be wrong he went fast A word: 2 S word: 6 Hell: 6 F word or f’ers: 18 Lords name in vain or damn: 5 I thought Vikings lost this game until 1:46
My favorite lines by Vikings coach Jerry Burns: 3. We can't be responsible for fuck! 2. No quesfuck about that! 1. Fuckers! (end of speech) And to put it this way, this press conference speech is even better than the "diddly poo" rant by Jim Mora. This rant is an all-time classic. Thank you, Jerry Burns!
I met burnsie at the Vikings top 50 players and he was the nicest famous guy I ever met.He was just very passionate in his defense of his friend snelker.
I always loved Jerry Burns! I wish more coaches were like him today. I would hate to see him after a loss. I remember at the end of the SF playoff game he screams "who the F called a time out" and of course the entire tv audience can hear it. I never laughed so hard. Still alive 93 yrs young!
suicidal despair i remember bud grant did coin toss for vikings seahawks game when blair walsh shanked the short fg. He was at midfield in short sleeves and it was one of the coldest playoff games ever in history. Tough dude.
Greatest profanity laced post game presser of all time. His fear of spiders and other creepy crawlers along with his knowledge of the game made him a great character. R.I.P Burnsie.
My favorite Viking coach as a Packer fan. I don't think I appreciated him enough when he was coaching. He was the coach for the Vikes and you know, in the moment you just don't like him because he's a rival... but omg, this guy Jerry Burns talks about football games like a regular fan. I love it.
Jerry Burns was named University of Iowa head coach in 1961 at the young age of 34. Iowa was a national powerhouse back then, but he ran it into the ground due to infighting with former head coach and athletic director Forest Evashevski. Dude is a football lifer. Was a pretty big story in the '60s
I watch this every couple of months or so - it’s the greatest, most entertaining rant ever. Only Burnsie could drop dozens of f-bombs and go as far as to call Viking fans f’ers without offending anyone. He was one of a kind and beloved by all Viking fans. RIP.
Packer fan here. As you know, our team sucked bad in the 80's. But is was always fun to see what Burns or Ditka might come up with in their press conferences. Also, some of those Vikings teams of the 80's were pretty damn good. Too bad that they just happened to coincide with some of the most dominant teams the NFC has ever seen - Giants, 49'ers, Redskins, Bears. Damn, talk about competition!
Burns. Really a good coach and quite a character. Zimmer said Burns reminds him of himself. He reminded me of Rocky Balboa's manager in Rocky I. Guys on the team used to play jokes on Burnsie. He was known for pacing the sideline with his head down, thinking. Guys would put loose change on the ground and make bets if Burnsie would pick it up or leave it, knowing he wouldn't usually turn down a nickel, dime or quarter if he found one
Carl Ruf That’s frickin’ priceless!! I laughed harder at that than the video! I’m still laughing and crying. When someone reads this comment two years from now I may still be ROFLOL.
I remember watching him growing up - I am amazed he was only in his late 50s and early 60s when he was the Vikings' coach - he always looked ancient. And his voice sounded like an old-time movie actor from the classic film noir era.
I agree. The funny thing is Burns and Zimmer were roughly the same age when they began their Viking coaching career. To me it looks like a 20 year difference.
I'm not a Vikings fan but I respect the heck of Jerry Burns RIP to a legend I wish NFL coaches were still this way today about football compassion about the game of football and winning.
Rest in peace, Burnsie. Fun fact: Bob Schnelker caught the first NFL touchdown pass thrown by Fran Tarkenton. I was working as a TV sports anchor when this post-game event happened. We had a photographer at the game and he caught this video too. When he came back to the newsroom, he handed me the tape and said, "You have to watch this. From beginning to end." I had to bleep it, but I did use the best parts on my show that night.
@@10-3leader Years later in a college class I was taking for my major the instructor’s husband who was there that day and had a tape edited with all the swear words strung together and then another version where animal noises were in place of the expletives
No kidding. I spend so much time down rabbit holes watching pissed off coaches and this is my first time seeing this. This is greatness. Right up there with the "Diddly Poo" rant by Jim Mora. Hahah. Those old school guys were the best.
Reusse: "Jerry, your Schnelker endorsement..." Burns: "The guy feels like shit afterwards! What?!" "Everybody booing the shit out of him! Fuck, they put his picture up there and the fuckers boo him... Fuckers..."
I know Ditka and Mora have the most famous NFL rants. But this is number one. That's a fact. "Fuck, they put his picture up there and the fuckers boo him. *fuckers*"
Dennis Green's is #2. This is absolutely #1! It goes on for almost 5 minutes. He says "anything else" at about 2 minutes and you think it's ending. The best part is the end when he says "Fuck! They put his picture up there and the fuckers boo him! Then he mumbles "fuckers" when he's walking away. Fucking classic!
Jack's Pick Phone I agree, and the number 1 sideline meltdown was Abe Gibron against the Broncos. I wish I could find it somewhere. Like Burns, his team also won that game lol!
Roger Goodell would turn into a puddle of piss if this press conference happened in today’s league. Jerry Burns was a great coach . Vince Lombardi’s go to guy. Man of character backing up his coach. Rest In Peace coach Burns.
For the record Jerry Burns and Bob Schnelker(OC he was defending) had coached together before this. Both of them were on Vince Lombardi's last team in Green Bay. Burns was the Defensive Backs Coach and Schnelker was the Wide Receivers Coach. Source is the 1967 Packers roster listed in Jerry Kramer's classic book Instant Replay.
A lot of coaches say in order to be a good offensive coordinator you need to understand defense and how the opposite goes for defense. So it helps to have coached both sides of the ball.
John Paulson well he was offensive coordinator so idk how he coached defense. when everything i read of his reads offense. hell him and grant created the west coast offense
Yes it was a win. Like now in 2018, we had a killer D but fans were frustrated with the offense. They had a ton of trips to the red zone and came away with no TD's. The O had one weapon and that was Anthony Carter and no running game. I'm not sure if the Herschel Walker trade had taken place yet.
I love this guy.. First time I've seen this.. Great passion and he has like a photographic memory or something.. Be he could tell me every play for and against in the game
Jerry burns was a great coach and everybody loved him, in addition to Jerry being a great coach, he is one of the best human beings on the planet. Jerry would give you his last dime if you needed it, truly a very good representative of mankind. Yeah, he got worked-up sometimes and let a few fly, but what you see is what you get with Jerry, no B.S.......I like that in a man.
The Vikings went 8-7 in 1987. There was something magical about that team, The Vikings were 7 point underdogs (I live in Vegas) against the Saints and that game was over early. They went to San Francisco to face the 2-headed monster (Montana-Young).The Vikes were leading 13-3 and 'Frisco was driving when Najee Mustafa (used to be Reggie Rutland) stepped in front of a sideline pass for a interception and a TD to make it 20-3, The Vikings trailed the NFC Championship game 10-7 5 minutes in to the 4th qtr. Minnesota had 4th and goal at the 1 and kicked a FG to tie it and they never scored again .
The Vikings were better than their 8-7 record. 1987 was the strike season, with three games played by replacement players. The Vikings’ replacement team was arguably the worst in the NFL, losing all three games (against divisional opponents, no less).
Everything about this makes me happy. The best part tho was just as he was leaving the podium Burnsie couldn't help himself, he had to let out one last "f*ckers" under his breath. Chefs kiss
Only a journalist covering the Minnesota Vikings would be bent out of shape about the team winning a game using only field goals. I feel for Burnsie here
Thank you Coach Burns. I was at that game. Incredible. We blocked the field goal in OT (Merrieweather) and it's out of the back of the end zone for a safety. Vikings win by 2.
"I mean sh*t. We call a f*cking slant pass with a double team on Zedarius Smith and nobody f*cking blocks the f*cker and Cousins gets sacked. That's not Stefanski's fault. Sh*t. Next series Cousins f*cking hits Thielen on a post on 3rd and 2 or 5 or 14 whatever the f*ck it was and I love Bradbury, but it was a stupid f*cking play by Bradbury and he gets called for sh*t, f*cking ineligible man downfield and then f*cking Smith gets another f*cking sack again because the line didn't f*cking adjust. They f*cking score again after that. F*cking Aaron Jones goes 60 yards or whatever the f*ck it was and scores a touchdown and sh*t, that's not Stefanski's fault. I go on UA-cam and look at the comments and they're f*cking booing him. F*ckers." I had a lot of fun writing this as a Packer fan lol.
BTW Jerry Burns is a much better coach than he is often remembered. He had a great team with potential that got ripped apart by Mike Lynn in the disastrous Herschel Walker trade. From what I read, coach Burns was not consulted on the trade.
Remember watching this game on TV. The vikings won with no offensive touchdowns and seven field goals from Rich Karlis including a late one to tie the game at 21 after the Rams made a 14 point run for the lead late in the fourth. Then in overtime some guy for the Vikes blocked a punt for a safety and the win. Sometimes you win even when you don't play well enough to win.

All coaches used to look like trainwrecks. They were like boxing trainers. It was part of their charm somehow.

If you beep the swears there is nothing left.
I remember watching the game when I was 12 and had no idea about the post game stuff until years later.. totally awesome!!
Maybe it's been said before but it's awesome that he is this pissed after a WIN. Imagine what he's like when they lose.

Yeah, he got worked-up sometimes and let a few fly, but what you see is what you get with Jerry, no B.S.......I like that in a man.
The Vikings went 8-7 in 1987. There was something magical about that team, The Vikings were 7 point underdogs (I live in Vegas) against the Saints and that game was over early. They went to San Francisco to face the 2-headed monster (Montana-Young).The Vikes were leading 13-3 and 'Frisco was driving when Najee Mustafa (used to be Reggie Rutland) stepped in front of a sideline pass for a interception and a TD to make it 20-3, The Vikings trailed the NFC Championship game 10-7 5 minutes in to the 4th qtr. Minnesota had 4th and goal at the 1 and kicked a FG to tie it and they never scored again .
The Vikings were better than their 8-7 record. 1987 was the strike season, with three games played by replacement players. The Vikings’ replacement team was arguably the worst in the NFL, losing all three games (against divisional opponents, no less).
This is thee realest coach I’ve ever heard speak. Rest with god burnsie
The best RIP
Everything about this makes me happy. The best part tho was just as he was leaving the podium Burnsie couldn't help himself, he had to let out one last "f*ckers" under his breath. Chefs kiss
He did a sensational fucking job! Kicked 7 goddamn uhhhhh uhhhhh field goals.
Only a journalist covering the Minnesota Vikings would be bent out of shape about the team winning a game using only field goals. I feel for Burnsie here
Love this dude. Actually holds his players accountable.
Wonderful. Truly one of a kind. R.I.P.
anyone else here from dorktown?
Epic rant, first time I've ever seen this. I love coaches that are like this, straight forward and lively!
Thank you Coach Burns. I was at that game. Incredible. We blocked the field goal in OT (Merrieweather) and it's out of the back of the end zone for a safety. Vikings win by 2.
Actually a blocked punt out of the end zone for the safety in OT for the win
@@paulsonj72 Yes, thank you my error! That was a blocked punt, not FG.
thanks for all the memories Burnsie
I watch this after every Vikings game and just change the names, it helps me cope
"I mean sh*t. We call a f*cking slant pass with a double team on Zedarius Smith and nobody f*cking blocks the f*cker and Cousins gets sacked. That's not Stefanski's fault. Sh*t. Next series Cousins f*cking hits Thielen on a post on 3rd and 2 or 5 or 14 whatever the f*ck it was and I love Bradbury, but it was a stupid f*cking play by Bradbury and he gets called for sh*t, f*cking ineligible man downfield and then f*cking Smith gets another f*cking sack again because the line didn't f*cking adjust. They f*cking score again after that. F*cking Aaron Jones goes 60 yards or whatever the f*ck it was and scores a touchdown and sh*t, that's not Stefanski's fault. I go on UA-cam and look at the comments and they're f*cking booing him. F*ckers."
I had a lot of fun writing this as a Packer fan lol.
I watch this in the morning....really gets the blood flowing
Just for the record, this is over 200 F words an hour. That might be a league record. (17 in 4:45)
No one has ever come close to this! Lol
Jerry Burns could always give a Great Press Conference!
Love you Coach Burns. Rest In Peace.
BTW Jerry Burns is a much better coach than he is often remembered. He had a great team with potential that got ripped apart by Mike Lynn in the disastrous Herschel Walker trade. From what I read, coach Burns was not consulted on the trade.
that is funny shit today but that day he was serious thanks Burnsie you rock.
Remember watching this game on TV. The vikings won with no offensive touchdowns and seven field goals from Rich Karlis including a late one to tie the game at 21 after the Rams made a 14 point run for the lead late in the fourth. Then in overtime some guy for the Vikes blocked a punt for a safety and the win. Sometimes you win even when you don't play well enough to win.
