Buddy Ryan Punches Assistant Coach Kevin Gilbride On National Television

Buddy Ryan was not an easy coach to please

Buddy Ryan was always quite the personality and never afraid to be blunt. During a nationally televised game in 1993, Ryan got a little too blunt with Kevin Gilbride, his offensive coordinator with the Houston Oilers. Behind the New York Jets 14-0 late in the game, Oilers quarterback Cody Carlson tried to run the ball to surprise the Jets defense. The play backfired when Carlson fumbled the ball and New York recovered. Furious about the play call, Buddy Ryan raced over to Gilbride on the sideline and socked him in the face. Did we mention this was on national television?
