	Report Comment Gary H, Bird Island (10/16/2008 1:43:18 PM) I think coach Gundy's image problems were only in the minds of media people such as yourself. Every non-media person, (including parents of recruits), I talked to thought Gundy taking up for one of his players was great. Maybe not the greatest way to do it, but it showeed everyone his true passion for his players. Maybe you need to step back a bit and look around from a different perspective.
	Report Comment Sam Stein, Owasso (10/16/2008 3:06:25 PM) "...where it's practiced so frequently that it has become passé." Huh? Passé is a French word that translates as something that is "out of date," not something that "occurs with regularity."
	Report Comment colin1497, Shawnee (10/16/2008 3:19:49 PM) Gundy hasn't really changed, only your perception. Gundy was right, you guys (and more importantly one gal) were wrong. Get over it. You were so blinded by the fact that someone would actually call a spade a spade that you can't admit that the article was exactly what he said it was. Unlike you guys, Gundy actually cares about these kids.
	Report Comment MexiMike, tulsa (10/16/2008 8:26:14 PM) All the posters are correct thus far. My opinion of Gundy has always been the same. The only difference is now the media wants to hold his jock. You Dave, are one of the jackals that jumped all over Gundy and continued to throughout last year. What a shock that you are now on the bandwagon because he got a signature win. By the way, Clemson? Really? How is that NOT a step down from OSU?
	Report Comment Dr. Strangelove, Tulsa (10/17/2008 8:20:50 AM) MexiMike- you are right, Dave has certainly changed his perception of Gundy almost overnight. I'm not convinced that he's a very good coach, but then again we're winning and you can't argue with results. I think Beckman is a definite asset for sure. Certainly we need to give Gundy a break and see what he can do this year.
	Report Comment Dave in Houston, Houston (10/17/2008 8:32:48 AM) ..."some are tossing his name around as a possible candidate for some of the big-time openings that have either already occurred (Clemson) or should happen (Washington, Tennessee, Auburn, etc.) by season's end." What? That's just dumb, and reporting it is even dumber. It is well established that the internet is not a reliable source of information for such matters. Stay off the fan blogs Dave. I feel sorry for the trees that were wasted on this article.
	Report Comment Have that, America (10/17/2008 4:36:55 PM) The only people that talked bad about gundy after that press conference last year was the media types...Players, Coaches, Fans, Recruits, former players, parents and 95% of everyone else thought he was right on... Clemson is a joke...its not a blue chip job... Come on Dave...this is rabble...
	Report Comment Stomp, (10/17/2008 5:02:50 PM) Gundy was right on last year and everyone knows it. Cowboys are winning this year because they care about each other. Last year, Gundy called out a reporter for attacking one of his players, and it made them a tighter family. Every time I see one of these articles, trying to convince me that Gundy's defense of one of his players was some kind of crazy rant, I know that I'm reading the work of a writer who is more concerned about his little fraternity, than printing the truth.
