Mike Locksley's Statement

The following is a statement from University of New Mexico head football coach Mike Locksley regarding an altercation with a member of his coaching staff:

"I acknowledge that an altercation took place last Sunday (Sept. 20) between myself and assistant coach J.B. Gerald during a meeting with the offensive coaching staff.

I apologized to Coach Gerald, the coaching staff and our team for my poor judgement.  I would also like to apologize to Lobo fans.

Like I remind our players, when mistakes are made, you acknowledge them and deal with the consequences.

Our focus is now preparing to play a very good Texas Tech team Saturday in Lubbock."

More to come.
