Pat McAfee tears into CFB coach, calls him ‘softest coach I’ve ever seen in my entire life’

After Cincinnati ran a fake punt up 42-10 in the fourth quarter and went on to blow out East Carolina 55-17 on Friday night, ECU coach Mike Houston took issue with the Bearcats running up the score.
He and Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell had a lengthy exchange at midfield following the game.
Let’s just say College GameDay analyst Pat McAfee wasn’t a fan of Houston’s on Saturday morning. In fact, he went as far as to call Houston the softest coach he’s ever seen:
I mean… WHAT A MORNING from #TheMasters
We all assume that @ChrisFallica is going to heat back up here at some point but… NOT TODAY
Let's GOOOOO #GameDay

“What I’ve learned in the last 24 hours is that I will never ever, ever bet on on the East Carolina Pirates because their coach is the softest coach I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” McAfee said. “Luke Fickell should’ve asked him to do the Oklahoma drill right on the field and buried him. That’s what I think he should’ve done.”
“That means you had ECU last night, that’s what that means,” Kirk Herbstreit chimes in.
“What it means is they’re getting mad at him for running that fake punt up 32 (points),” McAfee said. “Hey, Luke Fickell’s got a College Football Playoff spot to go get. … Stop them, Mike Houston. Stop them.”
Indeed, Cincinnati is trying to become the first Group of 5 team ever to make the Playoff. If that means ruffling a few feathers along the way, Fickell will certainly make that trade.
