You know why he acts like that?

That would have been the end of my coaching career; Tuberville to the emergency room!!!

No chance he gets paid enough to deal with some senior citizen feeling like he can assault him on the sideline. Coach kept his cool in the moment, but after the game I’d make sure Tommy knew how I felt.

That would be the last day I worked for him

Now he's a senator lmao. A narcissistic control freak is perfect for politics.

And that would have been the exact moment that Mr.Tommy had to eat soft foods for the rest of his life if that was me.

he obviously doesnt respect that guy to slap his headset clean off his head like that......But he did it because he must know that the guy would not do anything. I coach and could not help but to think if another coach knocked off my headset or pushed or was talking crazy......I sure would not be coaching for a guy who would do that...

Legally, that's an Assault.

Had this assistant returned fire on the sidelines, I'm betting no one really rushes to the aid of tommy.

we all mistakes, but we can only control our reactions

Tuberville would not have hit a brother like that he would have got a can of whoop ass brought out on him.

I had a head coach do similar to me when I was a D-Coordinator. He was a high strung sort. I looked him in the eye and said "you better be VERY careful with your next move, as it may be your last one upright".

Damn. That's pretty unprofessional. Might explain why he's at Texas Tech.

One huge plot twist to this story. That graduate assistant was eventually sentenced for sexually assaulting a child.

I would've walked off the field if I was the coach that was slapped..."okay coach, you think you can do better and not make any mistakes at all? have a nice day"...BYE BYE
