Mike Gundy's tone-deaf coronavirus rant shows why he's never leaving OK State

There’s little arguing the coaching acumen of Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy. He’s won 67 percent of his games at Oklahoma State, a traditional have-not program that’s become a near-annual Big 12 contender as Gundy has led them to 14 consecutive bowl games.

In coaching industry parlance, Gundy has defied gravity for a long time in Stillwater. It’s the type of sustained performance at a second-tier school that should have enabled Gundy to launch his career to a blue-blood job, where his relentless offenses and innovative schemes could help build annual national championship contenders.

The near-annual reminder of why Gundy won’t be able to leave Oklahoma State – his penchant for bigotry undercutting his winning records – came on Tuesday.
