I get that he should apologize. Probably should have been a penalty in the game (maybe)... but he clearly was going after his own DC and the two (MSU QB) accidentally bumped into each other. The crime Smart committed was forcefully bumping the guy off of him (who he wasn't even looking at) in the heat of his
personnel freakout. So, he shouldn't have thrown the chicken wing, I agree, but the other MSU QB's motion was nearly identical to Kirby's UNTIL contact. Obviously the MSU QB didn't do anything wrong by accidentally walking into Smart's path.

I feel like in the 70's/80's we wouldn't even be having this sort of controversy over this. People were allowed plenty of leeway on the sidelines back then. Don't forget, Woody Allen ran out onto the field and intentionally punched our guy in the neck multiple times. That's in a different universe from what Kirby's crazy butt did. If Smart does what he did to my player, I will demand an apology and a penalty in game (if I see it) and depending on his response (if he shows respect) it's over.

Anyways I get why some people believe he should be suspended (I disagree) but this outrage over him not being FIRED or BANNED or whatever.... seems rather wild.

Now I'm trying to imagine Woody Allen punching a football player.

I think he spoke to the MSU HC and the player already.

He already apologized for it and it clearly wasn't intentional.

An unsportsmanlike penalty should have been called (even Sanky admitted as much), but this wasn't egregious enough for off the field penalization.

Shouldn't be fired but he should be suspended for a game. Sankey suspended a sec basketball coach for illegal contact with an opposing player. Kirby should be held to same standards.
