I’ve got no dog in that hunt. I’m a Chargers fan, and live in Houston.

You can say bovine excrement all you want, but I saw nothing the coach did other than stand there - maybe flinch a little - but nothing where he ‘intentionally kicked/tripped a player’.

Who was it that years (decades ago, now) that was coaching and decided to tackle the free runner on a return? Oh yeah, here it is.

In the second quarter, with the Owls already up 7-0, they set up shop on their own five yard line. Maegle took a quick pitch, broke off-tackle, and headed for the sidelines. With nothing but daylight ahead, he was headed for a 95-yard touchdown run.

On the ‘Bama bench, Tommy Lewis, a reserve back, had had all he could take. Maegle was in the clear, at the Alabama 40, when Lewis burst off the bench to bring him down.

Now THAT is intentional. What the S&C coach did was not ‘intentional’, just oblivious at best, and perhaps ‘intentional’ in not moving out of the way - but he’s 5 yards out of bounds to begin with.
