Mankato Players Meant No Disrespect To Old Coach, Paragraph Taken Out Of Context (UPDATED: They'll Play For Hoffner))

((HT: KEYC-TV))

When you say something publicly, you can't take it back...

That's what the Minnesota-Mankato football team is facing right now after they went public with their desire that their old football coach who was their new head coach return to being their football coach after their old-old football coach who had his contract not renewed and came back after an arbitor's ruling took over as their new head coach...

They want Aaron Keen back as head coach and not the recently-reinstated Todd Hoffner...

Claiming their paragraph was "taken out of context" both sides met this morning on campus...

Here's the morning gathering after yesterday's statement
KEYC - Mankato News, Weather, Sports -

Short of not allowing for any kind of depth in their sentences or discussions between parties when the cameras were off yesterday, the HQ is unsure how that could be taken out of context...

As a collective unit, we’ve all agreed that we will stick together and show our support in having Aaron Keen as the head football coach at Minnesota State University, Mankato,” junior safety Samuel Thompson read from the statement. “We’ve all become outstanding community members, students and athletes, in the last year and a half since the removal of Todd Hoffner. Throughout this process, our voice has been silent. It is time our voice is heard. We want information, we want answers, because this is our team.”

What's the out of context part...???

Jus' axin...

PM UPDATE: The players met for two hours with the Athletic Director and Hoffner and they're now united in their support of Hoffner and will play for him and Keen...
