OT: Bad behavior by coaches
During the Tennessee Mississippi game, Ole Miss intercepted a pass in the middle of the third quarter. A coach tried to trip the player. I get having passion but that is just dirty. It is bad when a player on the bench does something like that but the "leaders" should know better. Does anyone know if there is a fine or anything associated with this type of behavior?

considered bad behavior even when you don't convert a 4h down?

but excessive talking about clapping is old and irritating.
October 20th, 2014 at 2:58 PM ^
another one.
Wanna know what else is getting old and irratating? Sucking at football. And as long as Brady is the coach, sadly, I feel we shall continue to suck at football.

with that. He could clap all he wants if he won 11 games each year. But then, it would also kind of make sense.

October 20th, 2014 at 4:24 PM ^
saying that making fun of his clapping is right up there with making fun of him being fat, we're not going to agree on much.

Tomlin was fined $100,000 for his interference, so yes, there are fines.

Something about Brandon breaking down film with the coaches...

The last DC was into beaver and now this. What is this world coming to?

This isn't common, because most people aren't dumb enough to try this on camera.
I only can recall two incidents where this happened in football. Mike Tomlin against the Ravens and he was fined $100,000. Sal Alosi of the Jets was fined $25,000 and suspended for the entire season plus an additional $100,000 fine to the Jets.

Maybe I'm just not remembering some incidents, but the only thing I can think of a coach getting for "bad behavior" lately was Beckman and Vrabel getting reprimanded for dipping on the sideline during a game. Not counting getting fired or kicked out of a game, of course, I mean after the fact discipline.

Mike Tomlin was interfering with a player during a play, while the incident with the Ole Miss player takes place out of bounds. I'm not even sure the coach was trying to trip the Ole Miss player - he could be just keeping his balance (seriously). It seems as though the Ole Miss player is returning to his feet nearly underneath the coach, and he's arguably stepping back out of the way (note that his colleague puts his hand on trippy-coach's shoulder as the Ole Miss player gets up).
I've seen a lot more damning video clips than this one. Certainly coaches shouldn't trip players, but this is not a Woody Hayes punching a Clemson player type situation, at least by my eyes.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:33 PM ^
Would it have been elevated to that level had the player being tripped fallen awkwardly and forever after have been compared to Mike Utley?
Football is dangerous enough without people intentionally trying to do you harm.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
So you're concerned that the Ole Miss player was going to be paralyzed a la Mike Utley (!!)because the Tenn coach raised his leg as the Ole Miss player got up off the Tenn sideline after an interception? Mike Utley is your best analogy? Mike Utley?
I guess I'm just not seeing that level of danger here that you're seeing (or the intent that you assume in your reply). I suspect that your world is a lot more black-and-white than mine, at least w/r/t this Ole Miss event. But in fairness, you appear to be a penguin (or a group of them), and penguins' worlds tend to be black-and-white.*

That video isn't enough "evidence" to show intent or punish anyone.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:50 PM ^
$100,000 isn't enough?!?!?! LOL
October 20th, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
If the Tennessee coach was trying to keep his balance he has a very strange way of doing it. Who keeps their balance by extending a leg without bending their knee? No. The coach was trying to trip him.
October 20th, 2014 at 2:19 PM ^
Flamingo's bend their knees backwards, so it could be possible /s
Go Blue!
October 20th, 2014 at 2:59 PM ^
Had to go back and watch it again after reading your post, and no, he is not stepping back out of the way or keeping his balance. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt where possible, and it isn't possible here.

October 20th, 2014 at 1:21 PM ^
Coaches are fired for such indiscretions. Right Woody?
October 20th, 2014 at 1:41 PM ^
or did he have a temporary frontal lobe stroke?
October 20th, 2014 at 2:43 PM ^
At least, that's the defense of his actions I've read. (I thought I read somewhere that Bo had made a case for that himself somewhere, but I couldn't find it.)
However, Hayes had punched or struck other people during his career, including a sportswriter and reportedly his own players. I don't really buy it.
October 20th, 2014 at 3:15 PM ^
Every time I see this, I wish the same thing that I wished when I saw it live in 1978: that Clemson's Charlie Bauman had knocked that old fart right on his fat ass.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:29 PM ^
and probably a lack of a filter...momentary lapses of reason happen, but I don't personally categorize it in the "dirty" description. Things happen in the heat of the moment and you can't help yourself...sort of like:

holy shit...when was this. He should be fired
October 20th, 2014 at 1:58 PM ^
2012 Alabama vs Ole Miss on a 3rd and 10. And yes it ended up being a first down.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:55 PM ^
LOL, and wow.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
But Wow! With a little help form the sidelines! Let's see . . . where should I put it down?
October 20th, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
It was the Ole Miss sideline, only the Alabama ball boy was on that side, but you can clearly see him look back at the first down marker and move it accordingly.
October 20th, 2014 at 2:11 PM ^
a first down against South Carolina where they even measured it short. Pissed off the Gamecocks and Sportscenter was never the same following the next play.
October 20th, 2014 at 2:22 PM ^
That was incompetent officiating. He didn't get that 1rst down. But the play above, he clearly moves the ball towards the marker. It's not that he just did it, but how he shuffled his feet which is the worst part
