UAB coach Trent Dilfer had a meltdown for the ages on Saturday after his team made a brutal mistake against Tulane.
Trailing by eight points early in the fourth quarter, UAB appeared to have forced a Tulane punt. However, the Blazers had 12 men on the field for the punt, which led to a penalty and an automatic first down.
That was enough to send Dilfer into a total and complete rage on the sideline.
Dilfer’s anger is justified, but one could certainly argue the coaching staff is complicit in such a stupid penalty. Whatever the case, this is one of the more intense sideline meltdowns you are likely to see.
A longtime NFL quarterback, Dilfer has shown a rather aggressive mentality in his first year as UAB coach. That said, he might want to cool it a bit in the future.
