Fire Mike Gundy ASAP, save $13, 698. 63 every day of the year.


"Some college coaches truly care about athletes’ welfare.

 Some don’t care so much.

Indications are Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy is firmly in the latter group."

"Mike Gundy, college football’s self-appointed resident social scientist, thinks it’s time to get back to football. May 1, preferably, but he’ll accept two weeks later.

Safely ensconced in his Stillwater, Oklahoma, bubble of privilege where his constant tantrums barely register as a whisper outside the town square and his threats to leave every few years have gotten him past the $5 million a year threshold, the longtime Oklahoma State coach had some thoughts Tuesday on the ol' coronavirus problem that has shut down the entire world.

According to Gundy on a conference call with reporters, we can only wait so long for the death and sickness to subside because, well, we have a college football season to get ready for and “there’s too many people relying on it” to wait a couple months for the picture to become clear."

"Gundy has been edging toward the cliff of absurdity for a while now. In November 2018, he blamed “liberalism” for players transferring, saying “I’m a firm believer in the snowflake.”

 He acknowledged Tuesday he’s getting a lot of his information these days from the ultra-conservative One America News Network, an outlet he described as objective and non-political despite its history of pushing debunked right-wing conspiracy theories related to the murder of Seth Rich, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor David Hogg."

"But Gundy is pushing for something different, something so tone-deaf that it’s obvious he sees himself not as part of an institution of higher education but as the head of a professional franchise that operates as a separate entity entirely. "
