On a scale from 1-10, How full of it is this guy?

I don't think he should lose his job, but I don't really know how you just stumble your way into reading a racial slur.

I’m sure Bear Bryant was a progressive supporter of civil rights.

The idea that no one was offended but it mysteriously made its way up to OU administration - maybe just appeared out of thin air on someone’s desk, and that the administration at the University of Oklahoma of all places is so woke they had no choice but to fire him, is a little hard to swallow.

Someone was certainly offended and reported it up. They probably aren’t tweeting or calling attention to it because why would you, but I would guess there was some whistleblower on the team/support staff.

My guess, because the story doesn't add up....is this isn't the first instance...

I think Greg McDermott just got an extension. I am not saying he deserved to be fired, but that administration didn’t really cave

There just wasn't room on the plantation for Gundy anymore...

While there are probably multiple different versions of events, someone getting fired for saying the n word isn’t a new thing.

Yes, it reads goofy AF in how he's framed it. OU is not and has never been an institution that puts ethics and/or professionalism above winning football. There has to be more to it.

Yeah it looks fuckin stupid the way he framed it. Universities don't fire guys with 30 yrs of service like that.

There has to be more to it / or at least another side. He purposefully framed it so he'd look good and the firing/resignation would look dumb as fuck.

I get that and agree with it.

I'm just saying that this framing is odd on this one. He framed it as super innocent that he was just reading what someone else wrote. I'm not sure a U would fire a 30 yr guy that quickly for doing what he describes. I think it didn't go down that way.

I don't know if this was in the earlier version of the article:


On Monday, Venables issued another statement noting that Gundy said the word "multiple times."

"Coach Gundy resigned from the program because he knows what he did was wrong," Venables said Monday. "He chose to read aloud to his players, not once, but multiple times, a racially charged word that is objectionable to everyone, and does not reflect the attitude and values of our university or our football program."

Story keeps changing...Venebles 2nd statement was much less diplomatic. Almost as if to say "why would you say that out loud multiple times you fuckin idiot?"

This is the most likely.
