FAMU Coach Apologizes After Sideline Interview Interruption
10 Oct
Summary
- Coach apologized for abruptly ending a postgame interview.
- The coach cited field situations and rising tempers as reasons.
- The interview interruption occurred after a dramatic game win.
Florida A&M football coach Quinn Gray issued an apology to SWAC TV sideline reporter Symone Stanley. This followed an unusual postgame moment after the Rattlers defeated Alabama State. A video showed Gray pulling quarterback Armond Parker away from an interview while Stanley was speaking.
Gray explained on Facebook that a situation on the field and escalating tempers necessitated getting players to the locker room swiftly. The Florida A&M vs. Alabama State game, moved to Friday due to Hurricane Isaias, saw the Rattlers win dramatically. Parker's performance included three touchdowns and 290 yards passing.
The game's relocation from Saturday to Friday in Montgomery, Alabama, was a precaution against Hurricane Isaias. The storm was forecasted to impact the northern Gulf Coast near the Florida-Alabama border.
