College Football Coaches Plunge Four Stories

Ever heard of the American Football Coaches Association? Don't worry, I'll bet most football fans haven't either, so you're not alone. From what I can tell, the AFCA (not to be confused with the NWCA) was established in 1922 to emphasize the ideals and and principles of mutual honor and respect among coaching peers and those they coached. A "Code of Ethics" if you will.

Well after reading about the unfortunate incident that happened at this years' annual AFCA Convention, I'm sure the ethics committee will be re-visiting some of their fundamental ideals about how coaches conduct themselves while staying in hotels during convention week.

Case and point:

Time: Tuesday at 4:10 AM
Arena: Gaylord Opryland Resort Hotel Room, fourth floor (Nashville,TN)
Event: AFCA Convention
Bout: Wrestling (non-sponsored activity)
Combatants: Assistant Coaches S. Coy and D. Demeio

Tale of the Tape:
Coy - wt. 300 pds, ht. 6ft 2in, age 29,
hometown-Newcastle, Pennsylvania
Demeio - wt.225 pds, ht. 6ft 4in, age 24,
hometown-Clinton, Ohio

Scorecard: No Decison (participants unable to return and continue bout)

Reason for stoppage: four story plunge from hotel room arena after crashing through double-paned window

Ringside Judges: Jack Daniels, Johnnie Walker and Jim Beam
Referee: Old Granddad

Quote: "These are really substantial, weather-resistant, double-paned plate glass windows. So (it's a) very strange, unusual occurrence for someone to literally come crashing through them and down onto the ground below," said Kim Keelor, Opryland Hotel spokeswoman.

Comment: OK, so let me get this straight. Two guys. Wrestling. In their underwear. In a room. At the Gaylord Opryland Resort. Something tells me there may be more to the story.
