1. That should be the end of his college coaching career.

As a leader of young men, he has disqualified himself from holding a coaching position. His actions set such a poor example, the only way to pay is with his job. He should resign to try and regain some part of his reputation, resignation will save the college from having to terminate him.

2. I have always liked Howard, also.

But this is inexcusable, and I look for him to serve a suspension. How much is up to UM and the Big Ten.

This puts him on very thin ice to keep his job though. And being part of the Fab Five, he has to know there are forces out there looking for reasons to get rid of him.

5. Well that was inexcusable but he's only been there 2 years right? And one was 2020.

He ant running a one and done program from what I know. Any college coach needs at least 5 years to get their recruits and their system going. My 2 ¢

10. The other coach was putting his hands on him and restricting his movement

And Howard didn't throw a punch, it looked like he was trying to grab something.

They should both receive a fine and suspension.

6. He should be fired by 9 AM tomorrow morning .... if not by midnight tonight.

No excuses, no suspensions, and no statement of contrition from Howard. He could have been the wolverines
coach for 20 years, been well paid, won big ten titles, and maybe national championships

BTW as an Ohio State fan I have always thought that Mr. Howard was classy.

Got ejected from the game against Maryland last year. Screamed "I'll fucking kill you!" at the Maryland coach and had to be restrained by his assistant coaches from going after him.

11. This is totally in character for him

This is a guy who was involved in the biggest cheating scandal in NCAA history, he has 7 kids with 5 different women, one who had to take him to court to prove it. He's been sued 2 times for passing herpes onto sexual partners he was cheating on his wife with. He's a convicted drunk driver. He threatened to kill an opposing coach last year in a similar incident.

This is who he is, he shouldn't be anywhere near coaching young men. But he brings in money to the school, so they'll put him in anger management classes until he does it again and they are forced to fire him.
