September 25, 200719 yr Wow, I literally just watched the video on youtube of this. And I totally agree with the OK coach. Although, it could have been done it a more mature fashon. Mature fashion? He did it the way it should have been done. I would have been harder on the reporter and editor.
September 25, 200719 yr Wow, I literally just watched the video on youtube of this. And I totally agree with the OK coach. Although, it could have been done it a more mature fashon. He did EXACTLY what he aimed to do, took the focus off of his player and put it on him... I'd let my kid play for him...
September 25, 200719 yr Author I bet there are some mothers out there with hot shot football playing sons who now have moved OK ST up on their list.
September 25, 200719 yr That woman's article was embarrassing, and, not surprising, Dennis Dodd standing up for her is ridiculous. Her article was nothing but unsubstantiated cheap shots. Way below a solid journalist. :thumb::thumb:
September 25, 200719 yr Wow I watched it twice today on Sportscenter, looked as if he had enough of the newspaper.
September 25, 200719 yr That link isn't working for some reason. Anybody got another link to the article? What paper was this written for? I saw the coach's blow-up, and while I found it a bit over-the-top, I can't fault him for coming to the defense of his player.
September 25, 200719 yr Author That link isn't working for some reason. Anybody got another link to the article? What paper was this written for? Maybe the Daily Oklahoman but I think their link is through the one provided. I believe this story has brought so much attention to the story that the server can't handle the requests. It took a long time for it to open.
September 25, 200719 yr I applaud the coach. I did hear on the radio today Colin Cowherd just blasting the coach and taking up for the reporter. I disagreed with him 100%. I do that from time to time with his remarks.

I do that from time to time with his remarks. Everyone in the media is blasting him. It's funny how they say it should be taken care of behind closed doors while THEY are writing an article in a newspaper....
September 25, 200719 yr It is great when a coach steps up for his player's and takes full responsibility to attack him and not the young man. Kudo's to the coach. JD
September 25, 200719 yr Once I can actually get a chance to read the original article, as well as the link posted to the site about two hours ago where the writer defends the accuracy of her information, I'll have more comment about it. I will say this: While you want your coach defending his players, at the same token let's not act like college athletes should somehow be immune from criticism. By the nature of their position as high-profile athletes, they are public figures, after all.
September 25, 200719 yr I read the article. If it's accurate, I have no problem with it. Judging from some of the readers' comments on the Oklahoman site, the columnist may have a pretty good reading on the situation.
