FAMU football coach Quinn Gray apologizes after QB interview cut short
FAMU football head coach Quinn Gray Sr. abruptly ended quarterback Armond Parker’s SWAC TV postgame interview. He explains why and issues an apology.
Florida A&M University's football program experienced a thrilling win over Alabama State in a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game on Friday. The Rattlers defeated the Bulldogs 28-27, with freshman quarterback Armond Parker leading the charge with four total touchdowns. After the game, the attention shifted to an unfortunate incident involving SWAC TV sideline reporter Symone Stanley.
During the post-game interview, Parker was unexpectedly pulled from the interview by head coach Quinn Gray Sr. and the coaching staff. Gray later took to social media to express his apologies to Stanley, explaining that there had been a situation on the field that caused tempers to flare. He stated that he needed everyone to return to the locker room to prevent any additional confusion.
Despite the setback, the game was a testament to the Rattlers' resilience, as they came back from a 27-14 deficit in the fourth quarter to secure the victory. The team's next matchup will be against the highly-ranked Jackson State Tigers on October 17th.
