Coach Gundy

Forget the freaking T-shirts and news biases, that issue is history and political meaning it doesn't belong here.

The current issue is dead last in conference with an "aww shucks were doing ok" attitude. That should be equally troubling no matter which news source you like.
There can be more than one issue that needs to be discussed. The t-shirt fiasco and the current situation (his words at the press conference and the lack of effort by the team) shows a pattern of Gundy losing the team and him being out of touch with the players and fans.
 
He can wear whatever the crap he wants, but the players on his team that are strongly against the positions of the network he was openly supporting also can be upset by that. As a leader, you have to have awareness to things like that. He showed he didn't care enough about his players opinions to know they would be angry about it.

Remember, this was a network that was very vocal about being against Black people pushing back against racial injustice. Wonder why the players cared about that specific point.
Except nobody (including players) would have known this existed if a wannabe reporter hadn't dug it up for clicks. Most people have probably never even heard of OAN (I hadn't). I don't completely disagree with your sentiment, but someone went looking for dirt so they could create a controversy out of nothing. Gundy and the team addressed it and moved on.

All that said, I don't really view the OAN shirt thing as part of the current discussion. His lack of performance as a coach stands on it's own at this point.

He posted that pic to his social media (PFB sure didn't take it) after talking during a press conference about how OAN was a great news source (yes, I already knew their positions before he mentionedit). Not like he was hiding things. Yes the first article was by PFB, but he wasn't hiding it either so someone else would have noticed and it may have just festered vs getting blown up publicly. That's why he lost the locker room then, he lost it 2 years ago and seems to have lost it this year. That's a pattern of being disconnected from the team and it impacting performance. We have seen crap on the field for years and his antics and distractions shouldn't be swept aside any more.

I used to defend him and ignore it all, but I'm freaking done after this year.

Totally fair assessment. Being out of touch isn't a moral failure, but it's certainly not something you want from the CEO of an entertainment organization.
 
That’s not enough, Chad needs to end the rollover in the contract and then direct Gundy to replace both coordinator positions and the O-Line coaching position! I don’t know how much control he has over Gundy’s contract but they were able to cut his contract by about $3 million dollars a year when he wore the OAN T-Shirt and caused a mess. Calling fans losers who don’t pay their bills ought to come with a similar response!
Conduct detrimental?
 
Where did I say anything like that? How about he not wear shirts that can be taken as political, far right or far left?

You can't even type MSNBC? I think your bias is showing.

Wah, Wah, Wah!

I do think it's relevant though. More so his response to the backlash. It's very similar to his lazy "aw shucks" response we see to this season as well. He's shown us who he is time and time again.
 
Gundawg didn't lose today. Give credit where credit is due, my friends.
Gundawg is setting his list of excuses when bowman can’t muster up more than a few TDs against Texas techs high school defense. We will give up 600 yards with our middle school defense.

Gundawg might be on a week long turtle hunting trip and with dunn laughing about how poor the peasants are that come to Boone Pickens stadium.
 
I honestly don't remember the last time I missed watching an OSU football game, either in person or on the tube...Saturday, I am going to miss the game...I'll check the score occasionally, but not with any excitement or anticipation...for the first time in a LLLOOOOOONNNGGGG time I am done with OSU football...no one will miss me or care that I am boycotting, but it feels good, to me...
