FWIW, chigbus coach made this post today on junction

Hey guys, I'm Michael's position coach and it was my email that ended up on TexAgs, and then migrated to many other boards. I would like to clarify a few things because there were multiple misunderstandings on multiple levels regarding Taylor's article and the subsequent stories.
1. The reason I contacted Taylor initially was because I was under the impression that Michael was unaware his conversation with him was an interview. It has become readily apparent to me that Taylor did inform Michael that he was interviewing him and even omitted quotes, as good journalists do.
2. I regret basically threatening Taylor with contacting the A&M SID office and have apologized to him for doing so as it was patently uncalled-for.
3. Re: the screenshot: an individual close to our program with ties to schools in Alabama has multiple vendettas against practically our entire staff (among others) and was privy to information (my email acct) that he should have never been able to gain access to. (I understand most of you will be justifiably skeptical, but due to privacy concerns on many levels especially regarding Michael, I cannot elaborate further).
I would like to make it known that after speaking with Taylor, I believe he has the best interest of the athletes he covers in mind. I feel that he is honest and credible and I very much regret that this situation has devolved into a stereotypical example of message board assault on his character. I would appreciate if you guys allowed this situation to fizzle on its own because there's absolutely no reason for it to go further (and it shouldn't have even happened to begin with). I would be very disappointed if something like this were to affect Michael's recruitment in any way and his best interests are paramount to me.
Thank you for your understanding.
