Mike Gundy spoke a lot about his football team’s upcoming season but everyone on social media sort of ignored that when pictures of the Oklahoma State coach’s hair began circulating:

The internet obviously had so many jokes:

Even his own son had some jokes:

More from The Oklahoman:

“It’s not a real mullet,” Gundy said. “A real mullet has to be at least shoulder length and you’ve got to have some curls in it.”

Here’s the backstory: Gundy’s 11-year-old, Gage, repeatedly told him to cut his hair this summer.

“I said, ‘If you keep bothering me, I’m not going to cut it.’ So, I let it go now for a couple months,” Gundy said. “He wears on me every day. So know I’m kind of enjoying it.”
