Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin disciplined assistant coach Aaron Moorhead on Monday, days after Moorehead sent a series of tweets questioning the accountability of players.
Moorehead's tweets were assumed to be related to the decommitment of 5-star quarterback prospect Tate Martell, but Moorehead disputed any connection.
Sumlin didn't reveal the discipline but said there are "consequences for actions."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Last week, one of our assistant coaches, Aaron Moorehead, abused the privilege of social media and the result reflected poorly on Aaron, on our football program and on Texas A&M," Sumlin said in a statement. "He has apologized publicly and privately for his actions, and I am confident that he understands the expectations moving forward. However, there are consequences for actions and Aaron has been disciplined and the details will remain private. We will use this as a learning tool for all our coaches, staff and student-athletes, and we are now moving forward as a program."
Moorehead tweeted an apology a day after his initial tweets.
