The school released a statement on the matter after the game.

“This behavior is unacceptable and not how ULM football conducts business,” the school said in a statement, via ESPN. “There will be disciplinary action taken against the assistant coach. Because this is a personnel matter, the discipline will be handled internally.”

It’s Blankenship’s first season in the program after he was an offensive line coach at New Mexico. He also spent seven seasons on UAB’s staff after playing on the team from 2012 to 2014.

Marshall won the game 28-23.

The Warhawks are 5-3 this season and 3-2 against Sun Belt Conference opponents. The Thundering Herd is 5-3 on the season and 3-1 against conference opponents.
