Was Moore really upset about the loss or was this all about himself? Smashed the Vandy QB while on the ground earlier. Refused to leave the game when his coach wanted him replaced. Either showed real passion or maybe just throwing a hissy at the end. Kicking the ball. What would Saban do? What would Marcus do? What would Coach Bryant or Lou do? What would you do? Love to hear what a Goolsby or Ryan Harris would say.

If any player would have pulled that kind of crap, even in one of the big games at the time (Michigan, Miami, Florida State, etc), he would have grabbed him by the face mask, dragged him back, and unleashed a barrage of obscenities.
Then that player would have been forced to play on the scout team for several practices.
That player would then have become a better man as a result of Lou's tough love.
He showed up his coach. It wasn’t passion, it was a temper tantrum.
That kind of classless insubordination deserves a full game suspension.
Anything less is gutless pampering.

They sure enough didn't running onto the field. It would be interesting to compare the post game reaction from both HCs and see if there was any common thread. That's after we unpack all the obligatory coach speak.
