Mark Stoops Reportedly Kicked Door of Referee Locker Room During Halftime
By Kyle Koster
Kentucky coach Mark Stoops is not enjoying his TaxSlayer Bowl experience. His team is getting dominated by Georgia Tech. Cut-blocking led him to have an on-field shouting match with Paul Johnson. His frustration carried over into the locker room at halftime.
Report: At half Coach Stoops kicked the ref locker room door. Knocked over a Gatorade cooler. They had to pull him back to the locker room.

If there’s a positive spin here it’s that Stoops nailed his Snickers commercial audition. His actions brilliantly capture the role of agitated football coach — even if the writing is a little cliched.
