This is Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State football coach. He’s mad because a reporter criticized one of his players in this article. I don’t think anything in the article is bad — if the guy really was being fed chicken by his mom, he pretty much deserved to be made fun of for it. Anyway, if a quarterback can’t take a harsh word or two from the media, he might as well bow out of football now and start thinking about a career that involves a cubicle and little contact with the outside world.
There’s nothing I love more than a good coach meltdown, but this dude is pretty lame. Talking about someone crying to his mom after being called fat is funny, but he needs to get off the “if you had a child you’d understand.” Maybe it’s good that I don’t have a child, because I don’t understand and I’m perfectly happy to talk shit about anybody.

I give Gundy full marks for standing up and defending his players and the decisions made by his staff. The way it sounds, the reporter that wrote the article did NOT speak with Gundy or Reid, merely stated that she feels “her sources are solid.”
There should be more coaches who are willing to stand up for their players instead of sitting back and throwing them under the bus.

This goes right up there with the Denny Green rant. Even though it’s not as good as Green’s rant, I give this guy full credit for going right after a journalist at full throttle and making himself look like as much of a fool that anyone else could have been in that situation. Bravo! Bravo!

Dude, the best time to kick someone IS when he’s down!

Wait, wait, wait. No wonder OSU is sucking ass, according to their coach they’ve got a child playing at QB. A little fragile boy who can’t take the heat. Trust me coach, you’re not doing this “little kid” any favors by protecting him from the real world. Both you and your “little 10 pound 8 ounce baby jesus QB” choose to play on the public stage, so you have to take the good with the bad. If not, get the hell off it, go work at Wal-Mart, and let real men up there. F*cking crybabies make me sick!!!!
