Stanford Coach Denies Using Slur

Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday that he did not utter an antigay slur at a referee who made a penalty call against his team.

Harbaugh came under fire when a YouTube video -- which has since been made private -- reportedly caught him shouting that the referee was a "fucking asshole f****t." The video, which did not have audio, came from ABC's broadcast of the game against Notre Dame on November 28.

Ted Rybka, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's director of sports media, reached out to Harbaugh about the outburst. The coach said that he used the curse words, but not the slur.

"It did not come out of my mouth," he said, according to GLAAD. "It would not come out of my mouth. It's not in my heart to ever say that."

Stanford University is slated to release a statement on the video.

Stanford won the game, 45-38.
