This sort of coach reaction to post-loss tomfoolery is as old as football. Obviously, not all coaches respond in this manner, but on just about every team I've seen or been a part of, coaches tend to fall into the categories of good cops and bad cops. IMO, you need both. And when a certain level of sloppiness, disinterest, or flippancy start showing up, I would expect at least one of the bad cops to escalate.
In Texas' case, this is probably the latest episode and we happened to get a glimpse of it.
While I may not absolutely love this approach with respect to language, sometimes a little attention-getter is required. I'm going to give the coaches the benefit of the doubt that they know their kids, know the locker room well enough. Kid gloves and a soft touch have gotten us here. Now what?
Yeah, I have no problem with Coach Davis on this one. What I do have a gripe about is this video made it to the public. It is a major violation of team and locker room etiquette and cannot stand. Not to mention it's an embarrassment a player from this program thought it worthwhile to share with the public. To me, this explains a lot about what we've seen on the field.
To the individual or individuals responsible, I say good riddance. Hit the portal as soon as possible. It cannot happen soon enough.
