A Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks assistant coach drew the ire of the college football world on Saturday because of his heated incident with one of his players.
Warhawks offensive line coach Cameron Blankenship was seen having a complete meltdown on the sideline as the team was playing the Marshall Thundering Herd. Blankenship ripped his headset off and got into the face of offensive lineman Drew Hutchinson as he ran off the field.

“This behavior is unacceptable and not how ULM football conducts business,” the school said in a statement, via ESPN. “There will be disciplinary action taken against the assistant coach. Because this is a personnel matter, the discipline will be handled internally.”
