Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy was accidentally hit in the face by his own player (Video)

Oklahoma State isn’t having much trouble on the road against TCU, but head coach Mike Gundy may still have a headache.

The headache is not from the on-field performance of his players. Instead, Gundy accidentally caught an inadvertent hand to the face from one of his linemen.

Watch this:

It happened after a Chris Carson touchdown run. Shane Richards, a 6-foot-8, 330-pound lineman, went for a customary pat on the helmet for Carson but accidentally caught his head coach in the face instead.

Gundy seemed to shake it off with his mullet still looking great. That’s all that matters anyway: mullet preservation.
