Uhm Matt Wyatt Has Some Explaining to Do
- Thread starter ArcherSPS
- Start date
From Shmuley' Thread .. Nutt alleges that Bucky was "attempting to cultivate personal relationships with sports journalists for the purpose of promoting his self-image through positive news stories and, as further alleged below, exploiting their trust and deliberately misleading them into tweeting and writing news stories that furthered Coach Freeze’s agenda."
Matt swallered bait, hook, line + sinker!
Certainly no explaining on Wyatt's part because he had no access to factual information. On the other hand, this lawsuit will get to the bottom of whose idea it was to knowingly misrepresent the contents of an NOA, in the process smearing the reputation of one party to save face for another--and that's what this is about, coordination of a knowingly false narrative. Sound familiar **** heads?

Matt is reporting what he is told but he also did it as if it were fact. While not illegal, it does truly hurt his credibility and to be a former State QB the whole carrying water for Freeze thing was disgusting. I can't say I will ever pay attention to anything else he has to say/tweet/etc. it was a mistake moving H2H to superTalk. I said it two years ago on this message board. Just another attempt to control the message by Ole Miss.
He didn't report it as a fact. His tweet clearly says per a source.... And I think Matt had a reasonable expectation that a head coach wouldn't outright lie to him about something like that. This is why some of the national guys like Forde have been so hell bent on exposing them the last 18 months. They're pissed that a head coach would directly lie to them like that. That's the kind of thing you get low level "sources" to do for you.
Sounds like Hugh believed his own BS about being righteous and beyond reproach. The OM faithful will lap that up (and still do), but the media won't. He should have done this the way other coaches do by, as you said, sending a low level source with a burner phone to call the media.
All true, but not actionable. He had a source that he had no reason to believe was lying to him. He was wrong.
Probably the only MSU friendly media member that Freeze felt comfortable talking to. He probably wanted to spreaf this message far and wide so that everyone knew how much integrity he had. Freeze hates the fact that MSU fans on twitter call his character in to question where as any other HC in the conference does not give a 17.
It's pretty extraordinary for a head coach to lie so directly about something like that, especially "off the record." Only an idiot would lie like that directly because he'd know he'd make a lot of enemies and burn a lot of bridges with people who can either help him or hurt him. If you're going to put out misinformation about what's in the letter, you get a lower level staff person to be the leak.
So matt talked about this
Anyone catch what he said... Something like "I'll never reveal my sources" which is exactly what anyone with a lick of journalistic credibility would do.

There's always a chance somebody is lying, but I think it's reasonable to believe that the head coach of a power five program isn't lying to you about information that will soon become public domain. Granted, we are dealing with a true not job in Freeze, but it's not Matt's job to read his mind.
I am looking forward to Matt getting on the stand and bringing the Rebels down.
Every dog has his day!!!!

I know I'm a few hours late to this post, but that was a nice piece of investigative work, Mr. SterlingArcher!
Agreed. Matt should at least say, yes he called me and he told me the allegations were all about Nutt.
I know what would teach Matt a lesson - vote against him in his next favorite MSU Twitter account poll!!

If it was saved or can be recovered there is also a text from Fresus to Matt after Matt blasted Fresus on H2H after the letter came out. He was asking Matt "What are you doing, I thought we were friends " Matt replied "You lied to me".
I heard the entire story long ago from a Reb bud. If he was right about the first part I don't think he's wrong about the 2nd.

I don't hate Matt by any means but come on! He is a Mississippi State guy, not some random reporter from Indiana that got moved to Mississippi by their ****** newspaper. Why exactly should Matt trust his "source" when it is the Head Coach of Ole Miss in the middle of a NCAA investigation? Actually, why the <17> is Matt even taking calls from the Head Coach of Ole Miss? I know, he's a journalist and it's a "source"... come on.
How is this any different from us making fun of Yancey for all his ******** when he says, "I can only report what I am told"? I don't want to string Matt up or anything but he definitely has some answering to do and he definitely deserves to take some **** over being the guy towing the line for Freeze.
Assuming someone with every motivation to lie isn't lying is not reasonable.
This is why when real journalists report something they received anonymously, it starts with "Sources:..." not "Source:..."
You ever think maybe that's why he tweeted it out in the first place? Because he knew that Freeze was possibly lying.
If a head coach came to me with a quote like that - I would tweet it out as well without hesitation.
