Well, GP has bungled this up even more.

Pinkels hads were tied intitially. He did what he had to do.

His handlers in the University Admin should have kept him out of the media until they could really massage the message. Its clear as day the man didn't support any of this nonsese but did what he had to do to try and save the program.

I dont blame pinkel, the University is squarely to blame for how they have handled this bullshite.

I worried about this from the start. GP is just a horrible speaker and always has been. He can't properly get his point across when being interviewed.

Knowing that...you have KK interviewing him who we all know will try to bait him into saying something stupid and we have Pinkel trying to justify actions he had no choice but to make.

Pinkelput no farther thought into this other than if he didn't support this then he would never be able to recruit black players. That's it. Now, of course he can't actually say that so it puts him in a difficult position and with his troubles speaking this is what you get.

Has he even given any thought to any of this?

He sounds like he's been living in a cave.

At the very least, be prepared to make a statement on why you supported the team doing what they did.

A simple canned statement like "Racism sucks, and there's no place for it any where. I support my players right to fight against it, yadda, yadda, yadda." Would have sufficed.

Instead he comes off like a grumpy old man, who has literally no idea what's going on and doesn't really know why he supported the team.

For fricks sake, talk to a publicist or something, we do what we do isn't going to work here Pinkel.

Of course he's given though to it.

His thought was if I don't support this Ill be smeared in the media as a racist and I'll never recruit another black player.

He's not a social activist, he's a football coach.

I agree that his handling of things after the fact has been terrible. His handler, the AD, should have kept his mouth shut and out of the media until he has had some guidance.

Of course, but at least have the sense to get in front of a microphone and articulate something.

Hell, just tell KK right off the bat, "Look, I support my guys ok. I'm not going to go into the weeds on this, just know this racism has not place at our university and I thought it was important that these issues be addressed. So, I allowed them to address them. Now, let's talk about football."

Instead he talks about how it was about a guy that was sick, that he's not aware of anything, that he didn't want the concerned student hashtag on his Twitter, someone else did that.

frick dude. Get a clue. At this point he may as well have said frick it you guys are not joining this protest.

He's lost, and talking out of both sides of his mouth.

It's become comical now.

I was ok with bringing light to a problem, I was ok with the team using their power to do that.

Now, I'm just flabbergasted.

The students are one thing, they are young.

But for highly paid, "professionals" to be so addlebrained, it just blows my mind.

Be prepared, you fricking morons.

Moehler is really bad at his job. He knows Pinkel. He knows he would bumblefrick through an interview like this.

How there was no prepared statement for the beginning of the interview is mind boggling

Seth gets it.

Man, I just listened to this a few minutes ago. Talk about brutal. GP didn't know what to frickin say. He started ever answer with, "ehh, I don't know anything about that.".... It wasn't awful until he asked what GP would do if they asked him to renounce his white privilege. Not to mention the fact, they were insinuating that GP was a little bitch for allowing Loftin/Wolfe go out like that, after they always went up to bat for him.
