When columnist Jenni Carlson of The Oklahoman wrote a story criticizing Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid’s toughness, she probably didn’t have the faintest idea that it would cause such a ballistic response from head coach Mike Gundy.
In the article, Carson questioned Reid’s desire to play through injuries and nerves, as well as cited a rumor of him wanting to transfer schools because the competition was too tough at OSU. She also hammered Reid for apparently being hand fed chicken by his mother after a recent game and insinuated that the coaching staff has had enough of his lack of toughness as well.
To the say the absolute very least, Gundy wasn’t too pleased:
And now you know how Gundy feels about your work, Jenni.
What a nut, though I respect him for defending his players.
I just would hate to be that player - the coach makes him look like a child who can’t handle criticism.
Holy smokes. That has to go on the list of the biggest press conference meltdowns…ever.
