Without reading it, was it anything close to as bad as Peter Kings comments that Brian Kelly's move was disgraceful? He says that and in the same breath says he's perfectly fine with Riley's move to USC.

Totally different. This article was all about off the field stuff. Trying to cast a shadow on his character. Stuff like saying he joked about the r reporting of the rape investigation. The “joke” was a comment at a press conference to a new reporter where Kelly said (paraphrasing) “I didn’t know the paper (or station?) could pay that many of you to keep asking me about this.” He wasn’t demeaning the reported rape or victim or even addressing it. He was just commenting on the attention he was receiving for it.

It’s all a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Nothing in the article is going to make anyone change their view of Kelly. It will, however, solidify some views that the author is a shrew needing to be tamed. Guess I’m feeling a bit Shakespearean today.
