The Sporting News: It’s becoming ‘more and more possible’ Oklahoma State could fire Cowboys head football coach Mike Gundy

Oklahoma State is having a disastrous season and Gundy had to apologize for what he said about fans who are criticizing him.

They're stupid

Gundy has had a remarkable run at OSU.

He has had a good run, but it’s prolly time for a new voice in the room.

This has happened before with him, usually he changes his staff and bounces back.

They have money for football. Beautiful campus. Weak conference. He’ll change assistants and be back.

This is awesome:

"It's just on the bigger stage where people can voice their opinion, and in most cases, the people that are negative and voicing their opinion are the same one that can't pay their own bills,” Gundy said to reporters.

"They're not taking care of themselves. They're not taking care of their own family. They're not taking care of their own job. But they have an obligation to speak out and complain about others because it makes them feel better. But then, in the end, when they go to bed at night, they're the same failure that they were before they said anything negative about anybody else."

The Oklahoma State President issued a statement distancing the school from Gundy's statements. It's probably unlikely that Gundy will be fired after this year, even though his team is winless in a watered-down Big 12 conference. But he isn't helping his cause when the University President feels it necessary to publicly respond to his "offensive remarks."

Bo Pelini approves.

I don't know what that means on the collegiate or high school level. I get it on the NFL level, when you can have players that stay on a team for more that 4 years, but 99% of these players are there for only 3-5 years max.

The guy that wrote that article is a "freelance journalist" who graduated college in 2017, and LITERALLY THE ONLY SOURCE he cites as a basis for this article is another sports journalist who joined SI's online stuff in September, 2024. It'd be like me writing an article for the Beatrice newspaper saying Rhule is likely to get fired and my source is Bigboxes from the message board.

Trash.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Nice! We can get him on the cheap. Give Rhule the boot

 

[salsa red]

He's a man

Dear Weiberg, there is a new sheriff in town. A movement has spread across the prairie and it’s not slowing down. We are no longer hiding under our beds because some mean words were said. Harden up, Stop being such a pansy and just tell your coach to go out and win some games. Hard stop

He's a man

And he’s well over forty at this point
