Enough to merit a dismissal from employment?- I don’t know. IIRC, that guy was genuinely apologetic and it wasn’t enough to save him.
KK’s comment seems more planned than the nappy-headed comment. It reads like he considered it well in advance and thought it supported his argument. He also seems unapologetic about it. Still, think of all the terrible things Howard Stern has said on the radio.
And while Andy may be a great coach and a great guy, there is the possibility that he was not a great dad. Andy’s work ethic is legendary which is great for football fans but realistically means he would have been absent a great deal when his kids were young. That doesn’t mean Andy is responsible for Garret’s addiction and overdose, but there may be some truth in saying Andy isn’t great at fixing people.
What is the point? KK should apologize for hitting below the belt and people should be big enough to accept that apology. Just my opinion.

He tried to deflect rather than own up to his words and apologize.
