I vaguely remember Tyrone Hughes as a defensive back in the NFL. By name only, I don’t recall any specific plays he made or anything of that nature.. His post NFL career won’t easily be forgotten. The former Saint, Bear, and Cowboy has landed himself in a bit of trouble at South Cliff Oak High School.

Hughes, who once played football for millions of dollars is currently a 19k a year hall monitor. He was hoping to flip hall monitoring into college football coaching via assistant coaching in high school, but his plan hit a snag when he lost his cellphone.

Student Clarence Winkfield said he found the phone lying in a hallway and later pawned it for $20 – but not before looking at two nude photos on the phone and making a few calls. It’s those calls that led Mr. Hughes to the teenager.

One of the two nude photos was Tyrone Hughes going Sean Salisbury, and the other was of a female. Possessing pornography on campus can be grounds for termination, but according to the grandma of the student that found the phone, Hughes made a death threat as well.

“He called a few minutes later and said, ‘Your grandson is a dead grandson,’ “. She began keeping Clarence and his sister, who also attends South Oak Cliff, out of school, fearing what the hall monitor might do.

If grandma’s claims are true, I don’t know what to say. Obviously Tyrone Hughes should be fired.. And some charges should be filed. I understand he didn’t want pictures of his junk floating around the high school, but he shouldn’t have threatened the teenager… He coulda just waited for him in the parking lot. Moron.
