Mike Gundy Apologizes for Ripping Oklahoma State Fans: 'My Intent Was Not to Offend'

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy issued an apology on Wednesday for his criticism of fans complaining about the Cowboys' 3-6 start to the season.

"I apologize to those who my comments during Monday's media call offended," Gundy wrote in a post shared on X. "My intent was not to offend any of our fans who have supported us and this program through the years."

Gundy called fans criticizing Oklahoma State a "failure" in his conference call on Monday.

"Unfortunately 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, and then they want to point the finger and blame other people," Gundy said on Monday.
