Former Oakland Raider tight end Jeremy Brigham (1998-2001) (left) has moved on in his retirement to coaching youth football, but the competitive fire still burns strong within him. Scott Haggerty was an assistant on Brigham’s staff, until Brigham recently fired him.
After being fired, Haggerty watched his now-former team’s next game from the stands, cheering on his son who remained on the squad. After the game, the opposing coach joked to Brigham that “Haggerty gave me all your plays.” Even had Haggerty done so, it didn’t do much to help, seeing that Brigham’s team cruised to a 38-0 victory.
Brigham didn’t take it as a joke though and confronted, and then allegedly punched Haggerty in the head, ultimately putting him in a neck brace.
I don’t really understand why Brigham was so upset, what he wanted to win 84-0?
Who knew that pee-wee football was so drama-filled!
Hmm, head coach attacking an assistant, Brigham really is living the Raiders tradition.
