There's a reason that most college football coaches have a security team that follows them off the field during games.
That point was made very clear this past Saturday after Ole Miss beat Alabama and the drunken Ole Miss fan base stormed the field.
An overdressed Ole Miss dork made the mistake of running towards Alabama coach Nick Saban. Who just happened to have 2 troopers surrounding him.
The result.
Well, the Ole Miss student didn't win...

Record Breaker: Watson Brown Breaks NCAA Loss Record
Watson Brown is probably the last of a dying breed in the coaching business.
A good man who does things the right way and now the holder of a record not likely to be broken: Most losses by a College Football coach with more than 10-years experience.
Brown lost his 200th game as a coach Saturday when his team, Tennessee Tech got beat by Northern Iowa 50-7.
The scary part for this incarnation of a Brown team, they had 92 total yards of offense in the game. 84 of which came on a TD run by Radir Annoor.
Watson Brown, the brother of former Texas and North Carolina coach Mack Brown now has a career coaching record of 128-200-1. He's been a head coach for the better part of 29 seasons and made stops at Austin Peay, Vanderbilt, UAB, Cincinnati and Rice.
In this era of what have you done for me today coaches, Brown's record is not likely to be broken. Few coaches who lose at Division 1 schools get more than 2 or 3 seasons and some less than that. And those who lose at more than one place, rarely get another chance.
That being said, there are few coaches more respected or well liked then the well traveled Brown.
Will he survive at Tennessee Tech, a small school in the Tennessee mountain town of Cookeville? We don't know. The Golden Eagles don't have a tradition of success. They are not a "Power 5" school. Heck, they don't even play FBS football.
But in this era of schools living on football money, it will be difficult for them to keep Brown around considering how bad his team is.
ESPN sent Tom Rinaldi to do what he does in this awesome story:

Is Texas Longhorn Strong...???
So, after Baylor head coach Art Briles tweeted his disinterest in the Texas job and UCLA head coach Jim Mora said he was staying in Westwood, it came down to Louisville's Charlie Strong to be the new head coach for the Longhorns...
The reported salary figure is 5 years at $25-million...
Strong's record at Louisville was 37-15 and he is set to accept the position if asked...
Strong, apparently, still wanted to speak with Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich and his university president first.
“He will be the coach,” a well-place source told Kirk Bohls and Brian Davis at the Austin American-Statesman.
Strong seemed to have survived a four-hour interview with AD Steve Patterson...
Here's Brett McMurphy discussing briefly with Kenny Mayne

Coaches Gone Wild: Bo Pelini Pranks Nebraska
And it continues.
A week full of college head coaches doing wild, crazy and sometimes wacky things to fire up the troops as they wind down training camp.
In this episode, Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini goes to elaborate measures to put one over on his football team.
The players are waiting to be dismissed to attend "Movie Night" when the hilarity ensues...
((note--you have to watch all this video to get the joke))
