"We know who we are, and we know what we value - toughness and discipline. We keep our focus on those values, which allows us to enjoy success.
"Success is winning at least 10 games in five of the last seven seasons. Success is playing in four New Years Six games since 2010. Success is producing 17 All Americans, and 6 NFL first-round draft picks since 2008."
"We develop the player," Gundy goes on to note. "But more importantly, we develop the person. We do everything from the inside-out. I am proud of what Cowboy football has become."
By all accounts, Gundy has done a remarkable job transforming the Oklahoma State program to where they are today, and this video illustrates a lot of that.
