"I have no regrets about the hire, I have regrets about the outcome."

A point of clarification:

Oregon State players can’t officially enter the transfer portal until the end of the season OR 5 days after OSU announces/hires its next coach.

If anybody chooses to sit out going forward, it’s likely to enter the portal at season’s end. #GoBeavs
