Mike Locksley just can't seem to avoid trouble. This time, he apparently got into a fight with one of the assistant coaches on the New Mexico Lobos staff, one J.B Gerald splitting the coaches lip. Sadly, this was confirmed today, rather than it being just a rumor. New Mexico's Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs talked about it in a press conference today saying "In this business it is not uncommon for coaches to have heated discussions," he also said "Having said that, we cannot condone Coach Locksley's actions. You simply cannot put your hand on another coach."

Sadly, this isn't the 1st problem that Locksley has had since taking over New Mexico's football program. Worse, he has produced pretty much no results, the Lobos are already 0-4, coming close only in their last game vs. New Mexico State. He has been reprimanded for the incident and says that Coach Gerald is "welcome back to the program". You really have to wonder here if Locksley may be in over his head. Granted the Lobos haven't exactly been a "National Powerhouse", but if you are trying to build a program, you generally want someone who will stay out of the headlines for his off the field behavior.
