An Oklahoma City-based contractor claims Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy fired him for wearing a University of Oklahoma t-shirt while working on Gundy's home in Stillwater.

According to the lawsuit filed in Payne County, Brent Loveland is suing Mike and Kristen Gundy for a breach of contract and is seeking damages in excess of $10,000.

According to the lawsuit, on March 21, Loveland woke up around 4 a.m. to leave to work at the Gundy residence and he "grabbed whatever clothes were on top of his drawers, dressed in the dark and left for the job site."

After working on the house for less than three hours that day, Coach Gundy and his wife arrived home and Gundy immediately confronted Loveland about the Oklahoma baseball shirt he was wearing.

"How dare you come into my house and offend my wife," Gundy allegedly said to Loveland.

Loveland claims he inquired as to what Gundy was talking about to which Gundy responded "that f---ing shirt you have on."

From there the court documents allege Gundy continued cussing at Loveland telling him he was a "stupid idiot for wearing the shirt on OSU soil."

Loveland claims Gundy eventually told him to "pack his s--t and get off Mike's property."

Loveland stated that Gundy's outburst was "a tirade by Mike of epic proportions" and that after Gundy refused to accept his apology and that he was forced to pack his equipment and leave the Gundy residence.

Gundy is a self righteous asshat. He'll happily trade in his "beloved" orange and black for a big time program.

Gundy is a jackass, no doubt. But what kind of idiot wears an OU shirt to go to work at Gundy's house? That guy knew what he was doing, and probably even bragged to friends about what he was going to do.

and no way he didnt know he had an OU shirt on

Exactly. I have no problem with what Gundy did. It was disrespectful for the contractor to do this.

Isn't it more disrespectful to hire someone for contracting work and fire them over the wrong colored shirt?

Good for Gundy. Maybe this will be a lesson for people everywhere, to stop being retarded. Seriously? You're going to wear an UO shirt at the house of the head coach of Oklahoma State? This guy should be mocked & ridiculed, and put on display so people can learn how not to be retarded.

LOL at the clowns in this thread defending Gundy for firing someone because of the shirt he was wearing. The guy who wore the OU shirt was a contractor, not one of Gundy's coaches. That man can where whatever the fck he wants.

Gundy is POS...and I don't give a sh!t if he's 40.

Gundy's kind of a tard, but there is probably much more to this story than what the gump contractor has to say

So if gundy was Jewish and the contractor wore a swastika T shirt he wouldn't be allowed to fire the guy. I for one don't like to tell people what type of things they allow on to happen on their own property.

And there is no fricking way that guy didn't know what was doing.

The breach of contract issue may have merit, I don't know what the law is in Oklahoma.

Of course the guy can wear whatever he wants, and at the same time Gundy can fire a contractor he personally hired for whatever reason he wants

And yes, UO is Oregon, OU is Oklahoma (like UK is Kentucky and KU is Kansas)

I am thinking the guy was fired for more than the shirt, but since Gundy commented on the shirt, the guy is using that for a lawsuit.
