When Colin Cowherd reacted to Oklahoma State’s decision to fire longtime head coach Mike Gundy, he didn’t hold back. On Big Noon Kickoff, Cowherd said:
"“I think it’s idiotic [firing Gundy]. … Who wins? The student athlete doesn’t win. This is college football; it’s not pro. … I can’t believe what they did to him. I think it sends a terrible message. College football is about the student athlete. Nobody wins here.”"
His comments reflect more than just disagreement with the decision. Cowherd sees the move as short-sighted and damaging, not only to the program’s reputation but to its future.
