In the midst of the entire national hyper-focused on the 2024 Presidential Election, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy issued an apology on social media for comments he made during a press conference on Monday.
Gundy posted on X, “I apologize to those who my comments during Monday’s media call offended. My intent was not to offend any of our fans who have supported us and this program through the years.”
On Monday, Gundy went on an odd rant on critical fans, and said, “In most cases, the people who are negative and voicing their opinions are the same ones that can’t pay their own bills. They’re not taking care of themselves, they’re not taking care of their own family.”
Here’s the full audio.
Gundy related the idea back to politics, the news, and modern workplaces, citing that most individuals who complain have issues in their own lives they should be more focused on. Such is the case for many of Gundy’s rants over the years; the statement did not land in the way it was intended to.
“But they have an obligation to speak out and complain about others because it makes them feel better,” Gundy continued. “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.”
In the midst of one of the most disappointing seasons in program history based on copious amounts of offseason hype, Oklahoma State returns to action in Week 11 taking on TCU on the road, looking for their first conference win of the 2024 season.
