This is bs. Announcer beat me to it. Just was going to post.
Ryan day takes off his headphones. Slams them down while 10 yards on the field screaming at the ref.
That is a flag. Sideline warnings should be for people pushing behind that safety zone. Which teams do. Or a coach, leaving the coaching box.
When USC was driving to a td and the win in the 1990 Rose Bowl Bo schembechler in his last game was very angry about a call or non call. He slammed his headphones down and was flagged. It wound up giving USC an extra 15 yards. Stopped the clock. And gave them a free first down. Thats the way it should be.
Ryan day just acted like an imbecile and was given a sideline warning. Last week Texas fans acted like imbeciles threw stuff on the field and Steve Sarkisian ran around getting in official faces until the call was reviewed and overturned. PJ Fleck acted like an imbecile threw a tantrum and put on crazy show on the Minnesota sideline until replay review gave him the result he wanted, ultimately winning the game against USC.
If we are serious about bad behavior it’s time to start penalizing it. These 3 coaches all were rewarded for their abuse of officials and their over the top tantrums
but the refs overreact when the players show a little emotion. That tells you where the priorities are.
