Coaches are used to hearing play-calling “advice” from fans in the stands and on talk radio. And on messageboards, at church, while pumping gas, etc, etc, etc.
They probably hear quite a bit from their own players behind closed doors, too.
But in what might be a first, Texas A&M tailback Christine Michael took to Twitter to give his Aggie coaches some play-calling tips during last week’s 48-3 rout over SMU. On the positive side, Michael was serving a one-game suspension for a “violation of team rules” and was not posting his comments from the sideline… or the Aggies the huddle:
Man run the ball….

Kevin Sumlin says he’s already addressed the issue with his starting running back.
Wonder if Michael will tweet what Sumlin's "talk" was like. Sumlin went to Catholic school as a child, and Catholic schools have nuns, and nuns "have ways of making you stop talking (to paraphrase Colonel Hochsteder)." Wonder if Sumlin ever thought of hiring one on retainer.......
Why is the guy shooting himself in the foot by being insubordinate? Those coaches hold his college and his professional career in their hands.
