depends on how long you've known him/been on the team and his personality.

Its best to tell him in person, next best is writing a letter, calling is probably a bad way.

Make sure he knows that your not quitting because of him

it really depends on how well you know the coach and how the team has treated you. not only should you tell the coach but also your teammates. if the teams been good to you and you want to leave on a good note then talking to the coach and the team personally is the only respectable way to do it. but if the team is gay and the coach is an asshole then go to preseason, play the first game and quit right there to be an asshole!

i don't know why you're making a big deal of it, just tell him. if you want to, make up an excuse like you're gettin a job or something.

wow then your coach seems like quite the dickhead anyways. so who fucking cares how you tell him? and when he says something and starts cussing you out, fucking flip out on him. that is really what i would do.

Just tell him that you are just exhausted, you can't really do anything anymore. Football has taken up to much time and you feel like your missing out on other things. Tell him that because football is taking up so much time that your school work is suffering and that its not that you don't want to play but its just too time consuming to focus on football and school. I don't know if he'll buy it but that would be the best way to go I think. Or you could attempt my way and just start not showing up but considering he recognizes you I don't think that way would really work out. Good luck mang

tell him how you feel and if he's being a bitch about it, he's a shitty coach. tell him its over period and then just walk away.

why would you ever call someone a boob? thats weird, but yeah just be like "coach i cant play this year for personal reasons" when i decided to quit after 5 years of play for the guy i just didnt play, and when he saw me around i said "yeah, i just didnt have time for football and school anymore" he probably knew it was BS, but whatever.
