While diving into the reasons why Oklahoma State \u2014 ranked 17th in the nation before the year began \u2014 has struggled so mightily, Gundy went on an elongated rant that told angry fans and program critics to look in the mirror before pointing fingers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately in life, most people are weak, and as soon as things start to not go as good as what they thought, they fall apart and they panic,\u201d Gundy said. \u201cAnd then they want to point the finger and blame other people. You see it in everyday life. People do it all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I refuse to watch the TV and watch the news because I get tired of people complaining and b\u2014-ing about this and that versus just doing something about it and trying to figure out a way to make it better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys dropped to 0-6 in Big 12 Conference play this season after a 42-21 thumping at home to <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"249\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/team\/arizona-state-sun-devils-college-football\/\">Arizona State<\/a>. The team\u2019s 18-year-long streak of bowl game appearances could end this week at <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"187\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/team\/tcu-horned-frogs-college-football\/\">TCU<\/a> should Oklahoma State drop its seventh straight. The Cowboys\u2019 final two games of the year are at home against <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"184\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/college-football\/team\/texas-tech-red-raiders-college-football\/\">Texas Tech<\/a> on Nov. 23 and on the road at Colorado on Nov. 29.<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma State hasn\u2019t had a losing season since Gundy\u2019s first year in charge in 2005 when the team went 4-7. This year\u2019s six-game losing streak is the program\u2019s longest since 2000. Gundy\u2019s turn toward the detractors continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn most cases, the people that are negative and voicing their opinion are the same ones that can\u2019t pay their own bills. They\u2019re not taking care of themselves. They\u2019re not taking care of their own family. They\u2019re not taking care of their own job,\u201d he said. \u201cBut they have an obligation to speak out and complain about others because it makes them feel better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then, in the end, when they go to bed at night, they\u2019re the same failure that they were before they said anything negative about anybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gundy is the highest-paid coach in the Big 12. According to USA Today, Gundy has a $7.75 million salary in 2024. Oklahoma State is the worst power conference defense in the country through nine games giving up 503 total yards of offense per game. The Cowboys are ranked 132 out of 133 FBS teams in total defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what\u2019s important for all the Oklahoma State fans to know is that we\u2019re very aware of what\u2019s going on, and at some point in life, we all have to put trust in somebody,\u201d Gundy said. \u201cAnd I think they need to trust that we have a good plan for what\u2019s going on here in the big picture, and we have answers. Sometimes they\u2019re not short term. Sometimes they might be long term answers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then secondly, in the end, the very best thing that can do, as I tell our players, is 100 percent be in. Buy in. You got to be on somebody\u2019s team. Can\u2019t go through life yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Required reading<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Photo: Chris Gardner \/ Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5899042\/2024\/11\/04\/mike-gundy-oklahoma-state-comments\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Gundy certainly knows how to deliver a rant.
