Somewhere in Starkville, a special team of handlers sponsored by the MSU AD is establishing a digital and physical cordon around Mike Leach until things calm down.

He doesn't sport the mullet ironically. He's a good ol' boy, and he's proud of it. He's a huge Trump guy. Mind you, none of that should be problematic on its face, in my opinion.

But, he's spouted off conspiracy theory nonsense. He stated that he gets all of his news from OAN. My understanding is that several black players brought this up with some black staff members because OAN has been very anti-BLM. That doesn't mean that Gundy is some huge racist, but it does call into question his feelings regarding the current climate and his personal support for his players, many of whom joined in the protests. To then show up on the net wearing that shirt can easily be taken as a pot shot against the players who complained.

He stated he gets all his news from OAN and his players were concerned about it but only went public after his photo was published by a fishing charter w him wearing an OAN shirt on? I think you’re FOS.

I wish there were no cell phones, I wish there was no social media, I wish there was no 24/7/365 news cycle and I wish the world would just take a breath and slow down.

I thought part of that was supposed to have happened in March and April. 😉

A truly great coach isn’t completely out of touch. Honestly, even a mediocre coach isn’t that out of touch.

*with what t-shirts his players want him to wear

What do you think his players would have said if he wore a Che t-shirt?

I’m not familiar with OAN. I’m assuming it’s under fire because it’s Pro Trump or conservative. If that’s his take tell him to hit the bricks. You can’t start allowing athletes to dictate the athletic department because they don’t agree with a person’s political allegiances. This stuff is getting out of hand .

It’s not under fire because it’s pro trump (although it is). It’s under fire because it literally is fake news. Not like some other far right or far left websites that are crazy biased but still vaguely based on reality. OAN is just straight conspiracy theory nonsense. It’s like Alex Jones with a smaller budget.

Gundy makes the statement about OAN.
Players bring it up with assistants.
Players assume assistants tell Gundy about their concerns.
Gundy shows up in a photo wearing OAN shirt.
Players get pissed because either the assistants never discussed it with Gundy or they did and Gundy wore the shirt anyway.

It doesn't seem that complicated to me, but you're free to think whatever you want.
