Played like shit and still won, there's something to be said in Gundy's favor for how often we pull it off, but we really need to find a way to just play well from start to finish against good opponen

IIRC, Gundy has an automatic rolling 5-year contract that is at $14 million per year. T Boone Pickens' ghost may need to get called in a seance for some pocket change in the years ahead.

WTF would make you think Gundy is the highest paid coach in college football? I think K. Smart is at $13M this year.

Quote

Gundy’s five-year rollover contract, which he signed in 2022, was not changed. He received his latest annual increase of $125,000 on Jan. 1, which brought his total salary to $7.75 million for the 2024 season.

The buyout is about $25 million. But it's very dumb to go there because of one bad season. There are other reasons for frustration but he's still by far the most successful coach in our history. We do need change in coordinators, DC at least. Something needs to change on that side of the ball. A mobile QB next year will help too. I think our non-Ollie RB's are good enough to have some success if the OL can block better and a moble QB can make more holes open up. This year is fucked and yeah, Skateboo is going to have a field day on this shitty defense.

Yeah... I'm on team keep Mike Gundy.  I don't think his 9 lives at okie lite are all gone.

He's the most successful coach in the history of their program. They're not running him out after one bad year. He would need 2-3 completely non-competitive years + some off field controversy for them to consider moving on.

Pokes got worked by ASU at home Saturday. They need to win out to make a bowl. Ollie Gordon's stock has pretty much tanked this season. It's a shame Bedlam is no more because watching a cripple fight between ou and oSu in late November would be like watching a 4 hour train wreck.

Mike Gundy: "The people that are negative and voicing their opinion are the same ones that can't pay their own bills"

Gundy's comments are drawing plenty of early criticism, but deserve a full and complete examination before coming to a thoughtful conclusion.

Below is a clip full quote from Gundy's zoom, as well as the full answer in transcript form he provided for additional perspective.

Most OSU fans are Alums. He's shitting on the university as a whole. Fuck that guy.

Dumb response on his part, but that's who he is and has been all these years. I do agree the fans need to calm their fucking tits already. It's a bad year. We haven't had a losing season since 2005. Get over your fucking selves. As soon as he retires we're gonna be a stepping stone job . Considering the likes of Texas, FSU, USC, etc. have gone through some serious shitty years and coaching hires, I can't fucking plausibly imagine how the fans think we're magically gonna be immune from that cycle. The next coach is destined to fail spectacularly per the "following a legend" rule. And if we land on a badass, he'll leave after a 9-3 year for a better program. Period.

Where does the program go post-Gundy?

It's time for him to go. I'll take my chances being a stepping stone job.

No idea, probably just whatever up and comer is available at the time. The only alum I can think of coaching at a high level is Zac Robinson who has worked his way to OC for Atlanta, but the NFL is a way better job these days, and from what I can tell he's taking some heat (although he's got Kirk Fucking Cousins to work with). Todd Monken is a popular name, but again, NFL is a better job, and he's close to 60 already I think.

Cool, get ready for 4-8 being the norm.

Thats a pretty accurate take. For all of his negatives, the unique thing he offered OSU was the willingness to coach in Stillwater for 20 years.

Happy Aggie Football GIF by Texas A&M University

If aggy’s paying, sure, why not. We don’t have the aggy culture problem and he’s probably as decent a bet as most up and comers. 

Riley’s still a good offensive coach and Stillwater is somewhere on the spectrum between LA and Muleshoe. Nobody would  notice a defensive difference either.

What the hell happened to Okie St?

Okie State was pretty agreesive (in Big 12 terms) when it came to paying players. Now that everyone can pay players, the few elite ones that would even consider living in that state won't consider Okie Lite.

I think it was more like Mack Brown in terms of losing assistants and running out of people he could trust and bring in and have them do the job.....he had some massive reaches for OC and DC the last few years and it has taken them time to get up to speed or they do not get up to speed and get fired.....it was the same with Mack he ran out of shit hot young assistants with fire shooting out of their asses to actually come in and do the dirty work of coaching players up and being the bad guy instead of the guy just hoping the kids had fun
