Here is the part in question
Q: It has been out there that you had your players cut off contact with Pete Gray after learning about his behavior…is that true?
Ferentz: Where was that?
Q: A radio station reported it (KCJJ,
item linked here) (NOTE: I added the link to the station story and ID'd them for your reference; they were never ID'd during the question and answer session.)
Ferentz: Then we know that is true…with all due respect. I do an hour of radio a week and I know everything I say.
Q: Did you have players cut off contact with that person?
Ferentz: I would not know that. I have yet to decide that.
Q: What changes in your preparation for Denard Robinson, maybe like Dan Persa who is mobile and and can buy time.
Ferentz: The balance would be more towards designed runs. Dan didn’t have many of those but with Denard there are a lot of designed plays to keep the ball or be an option to keep the ball.
Q: What changes defensively with a QB who has more designed runs?
Ferentz: It is an equal challenge. You don;t know what the percentage of calls are going to be…I’m sorry, I am distracted by that ‘It’s Out there’ (question on Pete Gray). I gotta apologize but that is so bad.
Q: I was trying to confirm something that we heard.
Ferentz: From where?
Q: It was a from a radio station, I guess. I was trying to get it from the horse’s mouth.
Ferentz: What is your question, I will answer it but not just something ‘that is out there’.
Q: With this person that was let go last week, did you shut off contact with your players after you heard about the allegations?
Ferentz: I am trying to figure out how it all…the person in question didn’t work with our players.
Q: So he never worked with..
Ferentz: He did in the past, it has been a while…a significant while.
Q: Maybe this is coming from a few of your former players tweeted about it.
Ferentz: I am not out there where I know all of that stuff.

”Coach can’t comment on that anyway. Let’s move on.”
EDIT UPDATE: Marc Morehouse has more on the exchange that took place after the mics were off, where an F bomb slipped out

" Reporter cited KCJJ after initial evasiveness. Ferentz questioned the question and then said, “You sit in here every week and you ask that [expletive] question?” Ferentz immediately apologized for the language."
