Oklahoma State Coach Mike Gundy Stands by Postgame Rant
Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy is not backing down from his controversial comments at a post-game press conference Saturday.
After the 49-45 win over Texas Tech, Gundy walked to the podium with the sports section of the Daily Oklahoman that was given to him by a parent. In an article written by Jenni Carlson, starting quarterback Bobby Reid was criticized and according to Gundy, the article was inaccurate.
Gundy berated Carlson and the paper for criticizing an amateur player, especially one who "does everything right".
"Tired of certain people downgrading college athletes who are good people," Gundy said about the newspaper column on Reid. "If you want to comment on his play, comment on his play. But don't comment on something that's outside of his play that is downgrading or belittling to a young man who is trying to do things right and he has to get splashed all over the newspaper in the state of Oklahoma. And on a game day."
He asked Carlson if she had children. When she replied that she didn't, the coach said she wouldn't know how it feels for a child to come home after being ridiculed.
Gundy asked Carlson to write about him and not his player, for he is a 40-year old man who "can take it".
Carlson responded Sunday by telling the paper, "I stand behind my column. Being questioned is part of being a columnist, but I am certain of the facts in this column."
"If I'd have had to do it again, I would have prepared for it," Gundy told reporters. "I shot from the hip. I would have had a written-out statement and actually covered some things that I probably could have gone into a little more in-depth. But I shot it from the hip. It probably wasn't very well-prepared."
