I know everybody has seen and heard the comments made by Terry Kinard, his son Jaden, and Dabo Swinney. Hopefully you've also seen my comments after talking to a lot of people.
Coach was prepared to answer if he had been asked during the NSD presser, but he wasn't asked. In lieu of that, I've been given what his answer would have been.
"I appreciate the opportunity to address some comments that were made. Basically, we just had an accountability run that Coach Batson, he schedules these runs all throughout the year with our accountability teams. Most of the teams didn't have to run. A couple of teams - one team in particular - had to run several over and backs. There were about five or six guys that got their butts chewed out and they earned it. Football at this level isn't for everyone. The commitment, discipline, accountability, toughness. It's hard at this level. That's really all there is to say. I appreciate the opportunity to say it."
