Marcus White, Bowling Green DC, Cited After Alleged Altercation at Bar

Bowling Green co-defensive coordinator Marcus White and graduate assistant Kenneth Williams were reportedly “cited for assault and released” following an altercation at a bar, per the Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune.

The Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune reported an alleged altercation early Sunday morning at an establishment named Liquid in Bowling Green. The two coaches allegedly refused to leave and "reportedly struck multiple bar staff members, punching them in the face" during the ensuing fight.

John Wagner of the Toledo Blade reported White was placed on administrative leave, and Williams could face discipline from the student-conduct process because he is a graduate student.

The 2016 season will be White's first at Bowling Green after he was an assistant coach for Faulkner University in 2015. The Falcons hired him as the co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach, and Nick Bromberg of Yahoo Sports said he used to work with head coach Mike Jinks at Texas Tech.

Jinks took over the head coaching role at Bowling Green for Dino Babers, who was hired by Syracuse.

White played at Auburn and Murray State as a defensive tackle and reached the NFL as a member of the Tennessee Titans before going into coaching.

Bowling Green beat Northern Illinois in the MAC title game last season and finished 10-4 after losing to Georgia Southern in the GoDaddy Bowl.
