Worse thing a college coach has done during a game

Michigan

For me it would be Woody Hayes attacking a player from the opposite team after an interception and punching him. He got fired the
very next day (as he should have). 1978 I believe was the year.

Here it is:

Hayes' temper eventually brought an end to his career. On December 29, 1978, in the team's Gator Bowl contest against the Clemson Tigers, Hayes assaulted Clemson middle guard Charlie Bauman with a punch in the throat after Bauman intercepted a pass along the Buckeye sideline in the closing seconds of the game. Some eyewitnesses close to the coach say that the player popped up from being tackled and began to taunt the obviously furious coach with the ball. Just hours after returning to Columbus, Hayes was informed of his dismissal. After the incident, Hayes reflected on his career by saying, "Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach."
