Over the last forty years, that’s one of how many good Tennessee coaches? Two? 50% seems significant.A sample size of one. You might be on to something
Oh, and the other one worked for him.

Huh! Wow! I must be REALLY old. That's NOT unhinged. That's not even a good 'ol "Hey are you listening to me?" facemask pull. That wonderful distinction still belongs to the great Woody Hayes. And, as has been pointed out, CMC has already been caught several times on camera more 'forceful' (for not finding a better or more politically correct word). Wow! Have we, as a society, become soft.
Majors is one of only two good coaches they’ve had since then.They hired one of their good coaches from ISU. Back in the 70s. How does that have any bearing on today?

The other “good coach” is now their current AD. Who was a long time assistant under Majors. They have tons of money and a 100K seat stadium. We may have our best coach since Majors.
I was being facetious, but since you wanted it spelled out...
I thought the Tennessee coach went quite a bit over the line.
First, you don't ever need to grab a kid's facemask and yank their head IMO. Yelling should be sufficient.
But even the yelling in this case was over the top. He wouldn't let up. I think they took a commercial break and when they came back he was still screaming his head off at him. That's out of control IMO.
I can understand ripping him a new one for a minute or two, but then you usually cool off. UT's coach just kept going and going for quite a long time.
And what makes it worse IMO... is that this is still supposed to be COLLEGE football. These kids are still supposed to be at their given school as a student first, and as an athlete second. I'm not naive enough to believe that is still the case for many of these kids, but still, these are just kids and they are going to school full time as well. These coaches only have to worry about football 24/7, and get paid well for that, but these kids have exams to worry about, projects that have to get done, papers that need written, etc, etc.
I understand that the heat of the moment is hard for some people to hold their tempers, but the last thing that kid needed after fumbling in the end zone and giving up the TD was for his coach to publicly tear him down in front of millions of viewers.
I didn't feel like it was that egregious, at least not the face mask tug. If he was yelling at him for 3 minutes straight ya it's too much.I think the reason he yelled at him is because he didn't run the play that was called. A handoff to the RB was called. Instead, he tried a keeper and fumbled.
Then why in the world did you start it?Get ******.
Not sure what the point of arguing this was in the first place.

I was just making a joke in reference to the people who keep panicking over Campbell leaving. Why you fail to grasp that is beyond my understanding, because I keep trying to explain that to you—when you keep asking.
I’m assuming it’s too early for someone to be drunk posting, of course. I have been wrong before.
It’s unpopular because it’s crap.This will be unpopular, but so be it. Things were different "back then," but the year today is 2019. That was uncalled for. If the coach was a player, that's a 15 yard penalty and none of you would even question it. You don't yank a player by his facemask. I don't care that he could have pulled even harder. It moved his head involuntarily, and that's enough for me.
It's unpopular because you, like many others, can't get past the worship you have for abusive authoritarian daddy figures. Tell me what's so different about sports that this behavior is tolerated in that workplace, but gets you fired literally *anywhere* else?It’s unpopular because it’s crap.
