Mike Gundy’s Top 10 Social Media Moments

Mike Gundy’s Top 10 Social Media Moments

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy has become a larger-than-life personality for OSU Athletics. We rank his top 10 social media moments.

Mike Gundy’s Top 10 Social Media Moments

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy is, most recently, featured as a saxophone player of all things in arguably the greatest promotional marriage among multiple sports and Valentine’s Day that we, as a society, have ever seen.

That got us to thinking about Gundy’s spectacular run on social media over the past several years. He’s so good, so often, that it’s easy to forget about some of his brilliance. Let’s take a (ranked) walk down memory lane.

10. Training For UFC

This moment didn’t exactly go viral, but we’re suckers for sport-to-sport crossover — not to mention the thought of Johny Hendricks getting our boy trained up for UFC 223 or so.

9. The Central Michigan 'Loss'

Who can forget the Central Michigan saga and Gundy’s not-so-subtle spewing of venom in the direction of the game officials?

8. The Mullet Debuts At Big 12 Media Days

It’s no longer noteworthy, but, at the time, seeing Gundy’s glorious flow for the first time was one of college football’s summertime high points.

7. Gundy Steals The Coaches’ Show During Title Game

What'd the head 'Poke do to warrant such universal praise and affection? Literally nothing. He sat in a chair and was Mike Gundy for a few hours.

6. Gundy + The Biebs = Love



A long-since-forgotten bromance, the Gundy-Bieber ringtone swap was all the rage, serving as a sort of outro to the GOAT rant that put Gundy on the viral map.

5. Rattlesnake Huntin’

Anyone surprised by Gundy’s level of comfort in the midst of a rattlesnake hunt must take up residence from nowhere near Stillwater, Oklahoma. Gundy is, in so many ways, the perfect man for the job at Oklahoma State.

4. Bringing New Meaning To The Phrase ‘Pistols Firing’

Just an amazing display of dude, here. It’s not every day the head football coach peer pressures the starting quarterback into losing his shirt in front an arena full of fans — not to mention arguably emerging as the physical alpha of the two.

3. Happy Valentine’s Day

The most recent utilization of Gundy’s rock-star status in northeastern Oklahoma, the man, the myth, the legend absolutely nailed this one. A-plus poem, too.

2. The Greatest Wrestling Promo Ever

This is the gold standard for cross-sport social media promotion by an athletic department and would sit atop the list were it not for…

1. 'I’m A Man'


But, of course. The press conference rant to which all other press conference rants will be compared until the end of time. YouTube was just 3 years old when Gundy emphatically proclaimed his age in support of OK State former quarterback Bobby Reid. Facebook was a baby. Even still, this incident was all-consuming and, quite frankly, served as the launching pad for Gundy’s fame as something more than just a football coach.
