🏈 College football coaches can be kicked out of games now. Let’s guess who’ll be 1st!

[18Champs]

Before the 2016 season, the NCAA decreed that any football coach who receives two unsportsmanlike conduct fouls in a single game will be ejected, bringing football more in line with other collegiate sports.

Though some coaches got rang up in 2016, nobody doubled down and landed the proverbial red card. But it’s gonna happen at some point. And it might be the sport’s first major-level coach ejection, other than the 1970s rampages by Ohio State’s Woody Hayes, who often drove officials to drastic measures.

So! A few of us decided to make a game of it. We had a two-round fantasy draft, with a randomized order and snake format. If you want to back a pick or add a name, throw it in the comments and receive glory once it happens.



The rules:

• Entire coaching staffs count, but not analysts or strength coaches or members of Bama’s secondary, tertiary, or alternate-dimensional coaching staffs, for example. So if a defensive line coach somehow pulls off an ejection, that counts for his head coach. If an emergency judgment call needs to be made as to whether a coach counts or not, we will convene an independent council and invite public comment.
• If 2017 blesses us with the first-ever coach ejection and that coach happens to be on this list, whoever picked that coach wins. This includes comments.
• The prize: self-esteem.
• If we already have a first-place finisher, but — by some miracle — another coach manages to get ejected twice, we will create an Anger Hall of Fame and enshrine both.
• All other rules will be made up as needed.

Seeing Mac on this list shocks me a bit.

As soon as I read the title I thought "it's gotta be Boom."

It will probably be the conference with the worst refs in college football that gets the privilege of starting this foolish rule off. My money is on the ACC, so maybe Petrino, Fisher or Dabo.

Second, what a dumb rule. Are these refs getting their feelings hurt out there? Some of these calls by incompetent refs are blatantly bad, coaches reacting to them hasn't been an issue that concerns me in the least. In the past, you threw a flag, throw as many as you like, they'll stop if they see their team going backwards.

It's costly enough when targeting gets a player tossed but to lose a HC or coordinator would be catastrophic to the team's chance of winning. And worst of all, it's a "judgment" call, so no two refs will call this thing the same. Refs with short fuses or exercise human bias, that would include them all, now get to decide something this important? Not with the incompetence I've already been exposed to on "judgment" calls.
