Head Football Coach fired after using plays from the classic 1997 Video game "NFL Blitz" on Nintendo 64

San Antonio, Texas - The once-revered high school head football coach of the Westfield Wildcats was relieved of his duties for deploying unconventional strategies on the field. It was discovered that the coach had been secretly drawing inspiration from the iconic Nintendo 64 game, NFL Blitz. The game, known for its exaggerated and over-the-top gameplay, has become a timeless classic, cherished by many gamers and football enthusiasts alike.

Coach Maverick, defended his decision. "The 'Upper Cut' play and the 'Criss Cross' formation were game-changers in the virtual realm; I thought, why not unleash them on the real field? These classic games literally built the sport we love."

Amidst all the controversy, the Offensive Coordinator, Coach Johnson, was wondering how Coach Maverick was able to pull off building successful plays for the offense. "I've been studying playbooks and strategies for years, I always felt like Coach Maverick was on a different level."

The 'Upper Cut' and 'Criss Cross' plays involved players executing gravity-defying maneuvers, tossing balls like they were on fire, and leaping impossible heights – the stuff of digital fantasy, not real-life sports. Opposing teams were stunned by the peek athleticism of the Wildcats' plays, often pausing to take selfies with the team after their loss.

The Athletic Director, a self-proclaimed gaming aficionado himself, expressed his mixed feelings about the coach's controversial choice. "I love NFL Blitz, it's a classic. But Coach Maverick should have known better than to resort to video game plays on the actual field. This is football, not a button-mashing frenzy. We expect professionalism at all costs.

Fans, however, were divided. Some hailed Coach Maverick as a visionary and embraced the hilarity of his unorthodox plays. Others, more traditional in their approach to the sport, condemned the strategy as an insult to the sacred game of football.

While Coach Maverick's attempt to bring video game magic to the football field may have earned him a place in the hall of memes, it ultimately cost him his job. The Wildcats are now in search of a new leader, one who knows how to tackle the challenges of the game without relying on N64 cheat codes. Until then, they might want to consider renaming themselves the 'Wild-Cheats' – if only for the giggles.
