He should be fired. I think their HC is a classy guy.

No doubt he needs to be fired.

Complete trash by that guy. Good job by Sumlin to leave him in the locker room at halftime.

I have to question why a coach or whoever he is feels the need to sucker punch a kid in the head. I can't recall ever seeing that before.

I saw Woody Hayes do it and cost him his job

Way before my time but i do know who he is.

I suspect that he will be history after today. That is just totally unacceptable. And dumb!

Some student assistant knucklehead.
Once Sumlin heard about it, he made him stay in the locker room.
Really weird stuff.

Unfortunately for A&M, this stuff by the student assistant will get more air time than a nice win over a good opponent.
I'm Sumlin will be pissed.

Not a coach. He is a student assistant. This would have been his junior year, but he was force to quit football as a true freshman in 2012 due to a spinal injury. None of that excuses his actions. Anyone on the sideline representing the team needs to be held to a certain standard and he easily failed to do so. Just showed no class.

I saw that live. I remember nothing was said during the broadcast. A lot of people were upset about that. It was like they were sweeping it under the rug.

A&M dominated the game in the trenches, and our QB was simply awful. I think at some point I would have tried another QB, any other QB.
Allen looks like he is going to be a good QB for A&M.

But with 5 personal fouls, a player ejected, and a sideline coach taking cheap shots on opposing players, .. not once but twice, I somewhat blame Sumlin for the culture there.

I agree that Sumlin has to be questioned for some of the culture on the current squad, but I don't include the player being ejected amongst that list. He was ejected for targeting, which I think is a horrible and overreaching rule in college football. It goes far beyond the goal of player safety. I hate seeing guys thrown out of a game for these types of penalties. There should be a flag, but throwing a player out is too harsh a penalty especially since they have to sit the next game as well. Sometimes things just happen too fast for some of these vicious collisions to be avoided. Throwing players off the field from only the defense is not a good thing and I don't really think it improves player safety.

Also, the guy taking the cheap shots is a not a coach. He is a student assistant. I think he is either 20 or 21 years old. Still a jerk who should lose his position with the team, but not a coach.

Totally agree, .. although it is a rule.

Coach or not, .. do you think that today was the first time that he has ever done anything questionable? Do you think everyone was surprised, .. or had seen him do questionable stuff previously?
When you are wearing a headset and a team jacket you are representing the University, coach or not.

Maybe it's unfair, but I think the coach is responsible for everyone representing the team. He has been there for two years I think.

I agree. Sumlin should be held accountable for this because it is inexcusable and unneeded. I just think it should be noted that the guy is not a coach.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Texas A&M student assistant coach Michael Richardson was sent home early from the Aggies' appearance in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl after hitting West Virginia players in the first half of Texas A&M's 45-37 win on Monday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

I'm not sure what you are saying. He is a jerk and should be punished. Sumlin should be held accountable because he is in charge. He is not a coach. Coaches are paid position. I'll be fine if he never is on the sideline of an A&M game again. I would feel the same if he were indeed a coach.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I'm sure that guy will not be allowed back. Perhaps they need to ask him wth were you doing?
