"It was brought to my attention that remarks I made yesterday evening while discussing a proposed rule change were unintentionally hurtful. I am very passionate, as we all are, about the serious nature of protecting the well-being of student-athletes, and earlier today I was interviewed by SI.com writer Andy Staples to explain my stance on the proposed rule. In my press conference last night, I referenced information about the tragic loss of a life of a student-athlete. My comments were intended to bring awareness to player safety and instead they have caused unintended hurt. As a head coach who works with young individuals every day, the passing of Ted Agu is a reminder to us all how short and precious life is. I would like to extend my deepest condolences and sympathy to the Agu family, Coach Sonny Dykes and to the University of California family."


Amazingly enough, neither "I'm sorry" nor "I apologize" were found in the above statement.

This from the guy who said he had a better record than Saban. He also plays REAL American football and acts like a complete and utter arse.

Sandy Barbour or Sandy Vagina?

Brett was lamenting the loss of a student athlete, not celebrating it.

If only the Cal AD actually knew what Bret's comments were.. not what was tweeted.


It doesn't matter. He brought the kid up to push his platform on a rule change. Dumb arse move.

this is getting hilarious, Less than two months ago Auburn played in the NC game, yet they clearly have an obsession with the Razorbacks and Arkansas, Dang, Get a freaking life or start taking Valium to chill the heck out.

Do you not have something, anything, anyone to do other than whom you call "Fat Bert".

You act as if he Jilted you and now you must settle for half the man in Michael Sam! Well, at least he is a Tiger!!!

For you HUNH is Hurry Up Nutzzz Hurtz!~ Because you are the most Blue Balled fan base ever.

The Rodney Dangerfield of Real American Football!

I now have apathy for you, sincere apathy. May God have mercy on your poor little sister, high school souls!

Auburn fans have been starting threads about everything Arkansas lately, so don't you want to fit in?

Women don't know football, she needs to get back in the kitchen and make Bret dozens and dozens of sandwiches.

Using the tragic loss of one of our student athletes as a platform to further a personal agenda in a public setting is beyond inappropriate


This pretty much covers it.

Throwing out contrived bullshite to support a position solely intended for personal gain is one thing, but using the death of a kid merely to further your agenda is repulsive.
