College football coach has mid-game meltdown, goes ballistic on own player
College football fans lose their minds every Saturday watching their favorite teams, whether it was a good play or a bad play. However, it wasn’t a fan, but a coach on Saturday who went ballistic on one of his own players.
During the Louisiana-Monroe and Marshall game, Warhawks offensive line coach Cameron Blankenship eviscerated offensive Drew Hutchinson like we haven’t seen in college football in some time.
Here’s a replay of the moment:

This has drawn a lot of talk on social media, with opinions varying from calling for Blankenship to be fired to other coaches saying that is discipline and tough coaching.
That is an adult man losing his mind because a college kid made a mistake. Never should a coach physically go after a player like that. Gross!

He should be fired. It is not acceptable. He is lucky the player didn't take him out. This coach is a small dude.

There’s nothing wrong with this? He’d be on my staff immediately

The Warhawks entered the game at 5-2, but lost a close game on the road to the Thundering Herd by a score of 28-23. Louisiana-Monroe still needs 1 win to become bowl eligible, and will be looking to get that win next week against Texas State.
Kickoff for that game is 12 p.m. ET and the game will be on ESPNU.
