Nice job, pokes. Good effort.

Man, Gundy is now a complete pussy. Sanders calling deep shots in the 4th quarter up 45-0 and he just lets the clock run out to give them the shutout.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9434]

Didn't know what to do with himself not having to spend most of his season gameplanning for Texas and OU.

He replaced pissing down his leg at the sight of ou this season with, well...everyone.

Gundy just daring OSU to fire him and give him his buyout bag of cash at this point isn’t he?

Did his nasty $10 million ranch outside of stillwater ever sell? You know, the one he said was perfect for a young family?

What is his contract situation.

I have always kind of liked him.

[Aqua Buddha 14652]

Gundy is currently on a 5-year rollover contract, which extends by a season every Jan. 1. He earned $7.75 million in 2024.

Gundy's contract is set to lengthen by another season on Jan. 1, 2025, along with his annual $125,000 raise.

As of Dec. 1, 2024, Gundy would be owed $25,359,375 if he were to be fired, according to his contract obtained by the USA TODAY Network.

 

That number is 75% of what he's to be paid under two separate contract agreements, as he's under contract through Dec. 31, 2028, unless his current 5-year rolling contract is extended, which it's set to every Jan. 1 unless given notice.

Oklahoma State would pay Gundy in monthly installments until Dec. 31, 2028, if he was to be fired.

competing with the big boys is getting to be really expensive for smaller schools with smaller fanbases.  And once the schools have to also start paying players directly, the budgets are going to be even more fucked. Its gotta suck forking over $25M to shitcan  a coach when your athletic department already needs the university to allocate $13M. Tickets are going to get really expensive in Stillwater or their unis are going to start looking like nascar drivers with 27 sponsors plastered all over.

When your state economy is driven by meth sales, its hard to compete in todays NIL environment. 

I think you’re underselling the Oklahoma economy. It’s not just meth. There is also stealing copper wire and selling it as scrap metal. Also, I Dian casinos. Also, legal cannabis products shops.

I suspect the coaches' salaries will significantly reduce at non-P2 teams. This means that coordinators at P2 may not be attracted by HC salaries at non-P2 places and may move only to build their resumes. Also, the OkSu-type teams may be better off having a good NIL and young/cheap coaches than the other way around.

T Boone had that kind of money in the cushions of his couch. They don't have their sugar daddy around anymore to bail them out.

How in the hell does a team play in a conference CG in 2023, return 23 of 24 starters, including all the key ones, return a coaching staff intact, and go 0-9 in conference (after starting 3-0, with a win over a bowl eligible SEC team)?

I thought the 1984 Longhorns had an incredible mid season collapse, but this may dwarf that.

He has accomplished a hell of a lot at OSU and put together some dangerous teams, but he seems checked out at this point. I watched the first 5 mins of his post game press conference, and if I was a fan of OSU I would be pissed. But I'm not, and think gundy is a f'n chode, so I laughed instead. It was basically 5 minutes of "our game plan was abysmal" delivered in a way that only a man with a $25mil buyout can do.

Every dime ever made from scrapping stolen copper has been spent on meth.

Shit happens. Considering we haven’t had a year like this since 2005 I’m not gonna act like we should be invulnerable to a shitty season. Gundy isn’t getting fired and the suggestion of it from inside and outside the fanbase is ridiculous. If he wants to retire I wouldn’t lose any sleep but he’s not getting fired and regardless of how you feel about him after this season you don’t fire a guy whose solely responsible for our current relevance because of one bad season. He needs new coordinators though and if he’s too stubborn to do it I’ll be pretty pissed and hope for the best knowing he’s not getting fired. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9434]

@'stache who's your AD these days? I know Holder had the balls (and backing of boosters, especially Pickens) a decade-plus ago to force Gundy to make changes like giving up play calling and hiring a dedicated OC. Does the new guy have the same level of juice to have the uncomfortable conversations w/ Gundy or does he have to play second banana to MG?
