A California high school football coach was fired hours before their season-opening game on Friday, Aug. 21.
Adam Brubaker of Royal High was let go from his position following an incident in which he kicked a football at a player during a practice while being visibly frustrated. The footage was caught on the team's Hudl video system and showed the player being hit in the groin and buckling over.
"I got fired," Brubaker told the Ventura County Star. "It is what it is."
Brubaker said he was addressing a player who had tackled a teammate during a non-contact period when he kicked a football laying at his feet. He said it was "an accident."
"There was a football in front of me," Brubaker said. "I was **** . I wanted to kick the football all the way to Royal Avenue. Instead, it hits (the player). It was an accident. I didn't mean to hit him."
