Jason Maas loses his damn mind, loses wrestling match with Gatorade jug

Jason Maas has flipped out again.

The Edmonton Eskimos head coach threw a temper tantrum on the sidelines during the first half of his team’s game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday, attempting to body slam an innocent Gatorade bucket but actually only managing to sort of shove it to the ground. There appeared to be some sort of headset snafu as well.

The Eskimos were winning at the time.

This is hardly Maas’ first mid-game meltdown. There was the time he got mad and smashed his headset to smithereens. Or the time he screamed at his assistant coach on the sidelines. And several other examples of amusing histrionics, swearing and generally emotional behaviour.

While not everybody can be as cyborg-like as Marc Trestman, Maas is taking some heat from the Twitterati for his behaviour.

I agree with any and all tweets about Jason Maas having no class. 😏#Embarassment #CFLGameDay

Maas wins the Most Awkward Award. His finger gets caught in the handle then he tries to pretend it didn’t hurt. https://t.co/CdfIh0e67L

*Maas’s 😉 I hardly ever agree with you but this time you’re bang on! 👍 I’ve been saying this from time he was hired by the Esks…he’s become the John Tortorella of the CFL!

I get Eskimos HC Jason Maas is frustrated but that attempt to throw the water cooler was just ridiculous.

They say anger gives the devil opportunity but in this case, it appears to have inspired a pretty good idea.

#Esks instead of these halftime concerts they should have coach Maas out throwing stuff
