Troy football coach Jon Sumrall absolutely blew his top on the sideline of the Sun Belt Championship game on Saturday.
After what looked like a missed facemak call on opponent Appalachian State, Sumrall ran onto the field and screamed at the referees as some of the other people on the Troy sideline tried to hold him back.
Sumrall pushed on and argued with someone on his team during his sideline tirade for smartly trying to restrain him. The irate coach also did a facemask pulling motion in front of his face to try and communicate what he thought the penalty was.
If you’re looking at the most epic coaching meltdown this season, don’t look to Miami and Mario Cristobal. Look right to Troy and Sumrall for that honor.

While we understand that referees can make outrageously bad calls and miss blatant penalties, Sumrall’s temper tantrum just felt completely unnecessary.
