<\/a><\/p>\nMulkey is in her third season at LSU, which signed her to a 10-year, $36 million extension after she won her fourth national title as a coach last season. She also won three with Baylor, along with two as a player at Louisiana Tech and a gold medal as a player for Team USA at the 1984 Olympic Games. <\/p>\n
Mulkey said she told Babb two years ago that she wouldn\u2019t be interviewed by him because she \u201cdidn\u2019t appreciate the hit job he wrote on Brian Kelly,\u201d the current LSU and former Notre Dame football coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fed up, and I\u2019m not going to let The Washington Post attack this university, this awesome team of young women I have, or me without a fight,\u201d Mulkey added. \u201cI\u2019ve hired the best defamation law firm in the country, and I will sue The Washington Post if they publish a false story about me.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot many people are in a position to hold these kinds of journalists accountable, but I am, and I\u2019ll do it,\u201d Mulkey said.<\/p>\n
Mulkey accused Babb of trying to trick her former assistant coaches into speaking with him by giving them the false impression that Mulkey had acquiesced to being interviewed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen my former coaches spoke to him and found out that I wasn\u2019t talking with the reporter, they were just distraught, and they felt completely misled,\u201d Mulkey said.<\/p>\n
Mulkey added that former players have told her that the Post \u201ccontacted them and offered to let them be anonymous in a story if they\u2019ll say negative things about me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Washington Post has called former disgruntled players to get negative quotes to include in their story,\u201d Mulkey said. \u201cThey\u2019re ignoring the 40-plus years of positive stories. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut you see, reporters who give a megaphone to a one-sided, embellished version of things aren\u2019t trying to tell the truth. They\u2019re trying to sell newspapers and feed the click machine,\u201d Mukley continued. \u201cThis is exactly why people don\u2019t trust journalists and the media anymore. It\u2019s these kinds of sleazy tactics and hatchet jobs that people are just tired of.\u201d<\/p>\n
