It would seem the poolboy overheard Sumlin talking with Mike, not our DC

Sometimes life lessons are learned the hard way.

Best of luck to him.

Just issue an apology and suspend. This was the wrong route.

Tough way for him to learn, but he should have known that was wrong. He's still an Ag and I still wish him the best going forward. Good luck to him and hopefully he lives and learns.

He made a sincere appology, owned up to it, accepted the concequences, now we can all move on. I wish him the best.

This was the right move. He didn't "lose his head" he was involved in two separate incidents. He needed to be dismissed. I hope he learns from his mistakes, gets his degree, and moves forward.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He absolutely needed to be dismissed.

For a guy who had a tough ending to his football career, this is a sad situation, but hopefully he'll learn from it and is able to get a GA spot somewhere after graduation.

Tough way to learn, but inexcusable things warrant swift and thorough responses.

Absolutely not......you do that, and you send the implication (however shortsighted it may be) that we tolerate that kind of crap. And with the offseason Sumlin had last year, that's the last thing he needs hanging over his head. Kid had to go. Tough move but sometimes those have to be made.

It's the right call. Hopefully Sumlin will continue to provide MR some guidance and help him learn and respond from his mistake.

As somebody who supervises 30 twenty somethings, this didn't actually have to be done. Specifically, D1 isn't real life. Move him to the back, get him to the sideline . By accounts, he is a good guy with potential.

But no, the zoo wouldn't have that, no.

Sounds like age discrimination to me. And an indictment against hiring 20 somethings. Not surprised.

Good call by Sumlin. That kind of stuff simply cannot be tolerated.

Maybe your 20 something's need to take a lesson in life from this. Actions have consequences! Stupidity is expensive!!!

I bet there have been other incidents we are not aware of.

Sucks, but definitely the right call.

Sumlin's statement was exactly what it needed to be also.

You just have to wonder what the hell was going through his head because his actions were beyond stupid.

once is excusable and would warrant a suspension.... twice is not tolerable. Adios

This was the right move, like Grandpa said "You ain't a man till you've been fired". Take responsibility and move on.

You ever been around football coaches? They're a fiery group. See Woody Hayes. It isn't part of the game, but some of the greats get out of control.

The fact that you supervise a bunch of 20 year olds doesn't make your opinion infallible.

Maybe if Richardson had whacked somebody once Sumlin could justify giving him another chance. But twice? No way. Sumlin has to do the PR management side of his job too, and that means cutting ties with an idiot who whacked opposing players multiple times while standing on the sidelines and brought us tons of bad press.

Sometimes kids have to learn the hard way.
