The name could have been Smash Their Brains In just as well, but then again Smash Mouth sounds slightly more civilized.
The rock band from San Jose, California that adopted this name took the expression from American Football coach Mike Ditka (actual name: Michael Dyczko), in the US better known as Iron Mike.
This Ditka was and is a strong supporter of an attack technique that euphemistically is described as the offensive philosophy.
It can get rough - so much is clear. One could also say – and some actually do - that smash-mouth football amounts to three yards and a cloud of dust.
