Did Coach really say this about Hines' hit on A-Rob, "it is a good football play"

Here's the link to the transcript with Coach's comment on Tuesday (thanks to skinnykilmer17 for the link):

I saw the replay multiple times, and I thought it was blatant, helmet-to-helmet contact on a defenseless player.

It looked like helmet to helmet, but not necessarily malicious. It was one of those plays that just happens in football, which is what I think Kirk meant by that. It wasn't legal, but that doesn't make it dirty, either.

Looked malicious to me. They haven't allowed the forearm shiver since Butkus and Ed "Too Tall" Jones.

IMO, that hit was disgusting. What do you expect though? Anyone else see the quotes from Ohio State about BSU and TCU? Not sure if I agree with those.

KF has to balls to call anybody out from any team and that is why he can't just flat out blow out the crappy teams we continue to get beat by.

 

[silvanthalas]

Whether malicious or not, it's NOT a good football play if it's helmet-to-helmet.

 

[Iowafarmgirl]

Well, it sounds like someone missed their block...

And then ARob got his knocked off.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

My goodness that's just wrong. That was not a good football play. Surprised by that comment.

Nothing good comes from anyone that goes high like that.

It looked like a screen play to me. Robinson was streaking across the middle and Stanzi threw it to him. At the time I was more ****** that it wasnt pass interference because from where I was sitting it looked like Hines got there a tad early. But then when it was obvious that Robinson had gotten hurt I thought there may have been some helmet to helmet going on there.
