'• Gundy on his rant and the celebrity that's come with it: "I don't care much for the off-the-field issues and it's not something I contemplated. It was something that happened in a reaction and I felt it needed to be talked about from a head coach that should do the right thing for a player on his team. The only contemplation I had prior to the conference was if that was my son, what would I do. And Kristen (Gundy's wife) and I are lucky enough to have three sons. So I felt if that had happened to him, and I would want whoever was his coach to do that for one of those three." '

Not only that! The "rant" also convieniently stole focus away from the obvious: Why was Reid starting in the first place?

'• Gundy on improving one of the worst defenses in the country: "We brought in some defensive linemen to give us some depth. Couple of linebackers to give us more speed at that position. Maurice Gray is a corner we brought in from the Kansas junior colleges. So we have more depth on the defense. We feel like we're a faster defense." '

What happened to the: "time in the system" excuse?
