Karl Hess is back

Referee at the kentucky game tonight. Glad he is back as he is a good one

Agree. As I've said before, he was held accountable. Time to move on. Great play caller. I hope he keeps his cool because his officiating usually speaks for itself (except when he lets teams go the wrong way to start overtime).

He is calling a sec game, wonder if he is still in the acc?

Sad. People who behave the way that he does towards other people shouldn't be a part of officiating. Get rid of this guy and give other people the opportunity to work those contests.

He paid his price so let's give him another chance, he is one of the better ones

Isn't Hess an example of the price officials pay (right or wrong) for even addressing fans... even if we know and/or recognize the fan?
Whats the worse thing you've said to a fan?
Hess' comments just happened to be directed toward an unfortunate millionaire... rooting for his alma mater.
Guess if I were rich and going to whine about what a referee said, I would have at least listed my comments that precipitated Hess' foolish remark. Doesn't a guy like this deserve a second and (maybe) third chance.

Can you image that tweet: Hess called my ___ white #wow!

Because he is a jackass and isn't going to change and he has already had enough "second" chances. See his history with NC State: An eventful return to NC State for referee Karl Hess | News & Observer

Of course, you are welcome to parade around with his jock on your head, if it makes you happy.

Wow I am very disappointed some my fellow officials supporting a racist. It is really upsetting my right now.

From what I gather he is not a racist, just woefully lacking in social skills.

You're a troll, not an official, as your posting history suggests.

You're going to need a lot more evidence than a single insensitive comment to accuse someone that you've never met of being a "racist."

Not surprised Hess got brought back. Coaches say they don't want big time referees working every night, but they want those guys on all their games. Rich get richer.

The Devil you know. It's just like Texas high school football really.

[maroonx]

Only going by what he said. I am torn he had those subconscious feelings towards another human being. Definitely not Christian like.

Btw I am 8 years into this crazy game. High school and woman's college. I wanted to check my history thanks for doing it for me much appreciated bro.

Coaches don't want those officials working elsewhere every night. They should be resting when not working that coach's games.

If he is or if he isn't is not my concern. He said something insensitive and served a rather hefty price. If he has reconciled with his supervisors, that is on them. There job might be on the line, not anyone here is in that situations.

Peace
