I don’t think the entire rant is just about Reid. Some of it was just about how painful it can be to have your kid come home after someone came after you for no reason. If I recall correctly, he has young kids so those would be the ones he knows about.
And the upside for the program as a whole is tremendous. Hopefully this rallies the team together and motivates them. On top of that, kids want to play for him now and parents will no doubt want their kids to play for him. The only downside is the media will likely never be on his side. But this is the Oklahoman we are talking about they wouldn’t have been on OSU’s side regardless.
Well, that's a good thing. He seems to be a one-of-a-kind coach to go all out for a player like that. I wish him and his team all the best.
