Head Coach
Impassioned Gundy defends Reid as athlete who does 'everything right'

sportingnews
Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy made an impassioned defense of backup quarterback Bobby Reid on Saturday, repeatedly calling him an athlete who does "everything right" and insisting that a change at the position wasn't a result of Reid being "scared."

Gundy, often screaming during a 31/2-minute rant that pre-empted any postgame comments about the Cowboys' 49-45 win against Texas Tech, expressed disgust at a column in The Oklahoman suggesting the team's switch to Zac Robinson as the starting quarterback was "less about Robinson's play and more about Reid's attitude."

I read the article in question, and it was not the worst thing in the world. Glad to see a coach speak his mind. Generally not a fan of these supposed columnists, sports radio hosts, commentators, whatever, ripping on student athletes and printing unsubstantiated rumors. Too often the media are trying to create and be a part of the story instead of reporting it. It's just too bad there wasn't a camera focused on the female hack in question.

STILLWATER ? Bobby Reid stood near the team charters last Friday night, using his cell phone, eating his boxed meal.

It would've been normal post-game activity but for one thing.
His mother was feeding him chicken.

Which brings us to the quarterback switch-a-roo at Oklahoma State.

Don't see the connection?

Let me explain. Cowboy coaches have gone full-speed ahead with the Zac Attack, opting to start Robinson over Reid a week ago, then sticking with him against Texas Tech today even after an embarrassing loss at Troy. Weren't we being told just last week that Reid was still the guy? All the weight with which Cowboy coaches were backing Reid has totally shifted to Robinson.


The change seems sudden.

Thing is, it may not be as abrupt as it looks. If you believe the rumors and the rumblings, Reid has been pushing coaches that way for quite some time.
Tile up the back stories told on the sly over the past few years, and you see a pattern that hasn't always been pretty.
Word is that Reid has considered transferring a couple different times, the first as early as 2005. Reid, then a redshirt freshman, was facing competition from returner Donovan Woods, and apparently, Reid considered leaving OSU just because he had to compete for the spot.

I've read it (if this is it) a couple times. Only an insider to the situation would know if some of it was true or not. Judging from the reaction of the coach, your guess is as good as mine....
