 Maybe in your own words, if you can say what led up to you being released by BSU, or well, investigated by BSU. Yeah. Well, I'll kind of go back and tell the story a little bit again, which makes it easier to talk about everything, if that's OK. You know, the day of the event, we were having practice down at the football stadium at the Chet Anderson Stadium and one of the things that is very popular now is to have warm-up music for the team. It's, you know, you're tired, you're hot, you want to have a good practice. So we've had this rule for the 20 years that I've been here about whatever music that we're going to play. We want to not use foul language, obscenities, you know, things that aren't right in the words to the song. So I think the guys have, I'd say, for 20 years have known that. So anyway, that day we started out with practice. And all of a sudden, the warm-up music was put on. And all of a sudden, I thought I heard some inappropriate words. And I got upset and started to tell the guy, shut the music off. And what I said was I was referring to the words that I heard in the song. And so I told the guys, hey, shut the music off. We don't listen and play words that have F words this, F words that. And I didn't say the F word. I just said it just like that. And then I said N word this and N word that. Those are the four words that I heard. Unfortunately, and my big regret is, I think the last two words that were subconsciously in my mind were the two N words. And I said the full N word. So, you know, to repeat what I did, I yelled everybody shut the music off. We don't play F this, F that, and then N this, N that. And I said the two N words. So I was trying to follow up on our rules and not have inappropriate music being played. And that's what happened. Have you ever said those words in the past? No. And that's the part that will haunt me is I've been in coaching 35 some years now. And 20 at BSU. And I don't know why I've tried to rack my brains and figure that out. And I haven't been able to put that together why I did. And I said the only thing I could think of is those were the last two words that subconsciously came out from the song. But more so than that, no, I don't use profanity and why I use those words on that particular day after 20 years, I don't know. Can you talk about the immediate backlash from your players, other coaching staff, what have you? Sure. So they shut the music off. And we proceeded to start practice. And about halfway through practice, one of the players came up. I was teaching a drill. And he said, Coach, can I talk to you? I go, yeah. And he goes, I can't play for you anymore. I'm practicing practice. And I said, well, what's up? I go, can't we talk about this after practice? And he said, no, you said the word. And I said, what are you talking about? And I went, oh, you mean the word from the song? And he said, yeah. And I said, I agree with you. It's offensive. It's not a good word. That's why I said shut the music off. And the player said, no, Coach, you don't get it. You can't say that word. And I went, I was just repeating the words to the song. Can we talk about this after practice? And he kind of was like, well, I'm going to leave. So one of the coaches talked him into staying. And we proceeded to finish practice that day. And I sensed that what I did really came across incorrectly. Where I was trying to talk about defending myself about the words to the song. I think it came across in a different way. So I said, guys, at the end of practice, let's have a team talk here. And I apologized right away. I said, I think things came out wrong. I think it came out differently than what I was intending to do, which was follow the rules and not have those kind of words being said. But I think the guys, you know, their feelings were hurt. And we talked about it a little bit. And then we dismissed the team. And everybody left to go to dinner. And then I started hearing rumors that night that the team was calling a meeting in the morning to talk more about this. And so I said, well, I kind of said to the staff, we'll be in there already. Before they get there, I'm going to go in and talk some more about this with the team. And the team had the meeting first. And then I was allowed to come in. And as I entered the room, there were a number of players in the front of the room and then just a number of players in the back of the room. So I went to address the guys in the front of the room. And I said, guys, can you answer a question for me? I said, what's the definition to you guys of the n-word? And they're like derogatory to kids of color and everything. And I said, bingo, I agree. And that's why we don't allow the music to be played. And I'm looking after you guys and everybody. I don't want that being played. And they just are like, coach, where we don't feel like you're apologious and sincere. We're not buying it. And I said, OK, I'm sensing that you guys are really, really hurt. And this has gone in a sour direction. I go, why don't I offer to take a diversity class, learn what I did wrong? And they're like, no, that's not enough. We don't think that will fit the punishment part of it. And I said, OK, guys, let's go even further. I would like to offer to self-impose a game suspension for myself. I'll sit out to show you guys. I get it. This has really turned out wrong. And that's when the team made the comment that if you're the head coach, we're not going to play. And I was like, wow. So I turned around to the rest of the guys and just to get the feedback from the rest of the team. And they said they were in support of as a team that if I was the head coach, they didn't want to play because of using that word. So I thought it'd be best to leave. And I did. And all of a sudden, a few hours later, I was placed on administrative leave. And here we are. So that's kind of what happened that through the whole story. So you are still currently on administrative leave. And somebody has stepped in as head coach in the meantime. What would you like to see come out of this investigation? Yeah. And I think that's a great question. And it's really where I'm at with my heart right now is healing. I love those players. I recruited them. I don't want this to have happened. I feel bad it happened. And I want restorative healing. And some of the things that we're looking at doing right now are holding some diversity classes, some lectures, possibly bringing somebody on campus to help with that process. I also had, after the event happened, I went online. And I took a Harvard bias test to, again, learn some more about what I did and could do different. So my goal right now is to have healing and have the kids feel better, have dialogue. I look at this as one of those rare educational moments that are left in teaching to find out what I did wrong, how the players perceived it. And right now, I feel like there's a lot of division with our community, our college, our alums. Everybody is, what happened? How do we solve this problem? And I think the answer is to everybody get educated on if you use that word, what happens. So that's what I would like to see happen. There was speculation before this came forward of exactly what happened. There was some speculation about what had happened. Why didn't you speak out before now? It's been almost two months since it happened. Yeah. I'm not allowed to speak on my work situation. And I think that's made it hard to get the story out. But that's just one of those restrictions that was put on me. I wasn't allowed to have contact with the school or anybody at the school. That's what happens when you're put on the leave. So that's one of the things that I'm really not allowed still at this point to talk much about my leave and the restrictions and what's placed on me. So it's the best answer I can give you there. If someone else had said this kind of language, what do you think should have happened to them? What I've learned is in any situation, if it was me or somebody else, the people would have been offended. And where my intent was to talk about the music, again, I didn't call any individual the word. It was to turn the music off. I would have hoped for some kind of healing or figuring out this educational piece that we're talking about. And I think that's the part that I felt is missing right now. I wish I would have had, and I've never had this opportunity in the 20 years I've been at BSU to have any diversity or bias training. It's never been something that's been offered to me. And even after the event has happened, I've asked and I've reached out for that from the university and have not got a response back on what I could have done different or any kind of a class or training. So I wish I would have had training earlier and I wish I would have had something I could do now, but I haven't been given those means to do that. Is there anything else that you'd like to say? If you could say something to the players that were offended and the ones that stuck by them, is there anything that you would say to them? Yeah, I think what I learned through the process was I have an obligation as a head coach to defend the rules. And I think I came across that I was defensive about just sticking up for the rules. And as I've learned, the word carries more than just your average word. And the players always felt like my apology wasn't sincere. And had I been able to have contact with those guys, I wish I could do that is just give them the sincere apology they deserve, which I think would start the healing and help in this process too, which is our ultimate goal. Anything else that you'd like to say? I do not. I don't have anything else.
