My vote goes to Chris Petrucelli, head coach of the University of Texas women's soccer team.
Now, this is going to seem like like typical Aggie hate-mongering coming from me, but this guy has a history of douchebaggery that goes back years. This year has been no different. In Austin against Texas A&M, Petrucelli attempted to run onto the field to get at the referee and protest a call. Never mind that he was 100% correct (I'm a referee myself, and it was a huge gaffe and luckily for that crew they went back and corrected their mistake), the manner by which he went about it was just ridiculous. Yelling is one thing, attempting to rush onto the field and having to be physically restrained by the fourth official is another can of worms entirely. The contact he made with the fourth official was, quite frankly, grounds for ejection, not to mention suspension for a long, long time.
And now after this weekend, I read THIS:

Texas coach Chris Petrucelli struggled in that department, bumping a referee while arguing about a call after the game. He also made an obscene hand gesture in the direction of the season-high crowd of 896 and had to be turned away by a police officer.

but i don't really have a problem with that texas coach's actions at all
It gets under my skin mostly because I'm a soccer referee myself, and his actions are pretty much inexcusable. Second place douchebag award would have to go to the referee, Kai Goodrich, for not having the balls to eject him from the Texas-Texas A&M match.
