Gundy pondering which lawyer to use to try and get his $25M buyout bag if he is fired for "cause"?

0-9 in the Shit 12 should be cause enough.

What was the “cause” osu was saying they could invoke?  I saw a tweet earlier today saying they asked him to take less, apply the difference to NIL or we’ll fire you for cause and you get nothing.  
 

what did he do?

Only one stupid tweet said the cause thing. There’s no fucking cause. It would be a buyout.

Can't argue that, but it just seems to me he may have worn out his welcome.  I have a buddy who is Okie lite alum and doesn't not like him at all.  So that is where I get my info.  Either way, no skin off my back.

Clearly something went seriously wrong inside the program after Texas took them to the woodshed in the B12 championship game. What made a successful coach 20 years ago, or even 5 years ago, isn’t what makes a successful coach today. OSU would do best to cut the cord right now and search for diamond in the rough in the D2 / coordinator ranks. They also need to accept that their future is going to look a lot more like the 90s than the 2010s.

My freshman year our longest rushing play from scrimmage all season was 11 yards. Yeah, not even fucking close.

Okay maybe that's a fair point.

Naw, we good without him. Hard pass.
Yeah, can't see what he'd bring to the table at this point in his career.

Gundy's in no man's land now. Will he really want to coach again once the Pokes get rid of him? Or does he take a studio job?

Who the hell are these folks on X ???

 

It’s twitter, they’re morons. I’m hearing that one of the regents (maybe the chair) was super anti-Gundy and made things way more dramatic than it should have been and the twitterverse went full twitter. That’s why Shrum and Weiberg looked frustrated after the executive session, they wanted to work a deal in good faith. Understand that half our regents are rednecks from bumblefuck that just happen to have four generations of ranching or oil wealth from free land their great great grandpappy got when it was taken from the Natives. Fuck that guy, seriously, this all should have been behind closed doors. I’m happy to hear they are putting pressure on him to hire real coordinators and not try to pluck a diamond in the rough from the fucking NAIA, that’s all that I wanted and what pissed me off most about Gundy. One report is that he was already close to both hires before Boss Hog on the board of regents went full drama queen. Allegedly.

They were per advanced stats a 6-6 team last year that overachieved.  They returned almost everyone.  And now are a 6-6 team that underperformed

That’s the best explanation I’ve heard about our program in a while. It’s the same pretty much every year but we’ve overachieved pretty much every year, sometimes greatly overachieved, and this is the first year we’ve greatly underachieved. The 2021 season when we beat OU and then ND in the Fiesta Bowl was almost identical to last year, we had to make big comebacks pretty much every week and found a way.

OAN studio or some sort of college football studio job?

All the hick ass Okie State fans from the twitter space last night gotta be punching air right now, wanted a decisive decision made (and all wanted Zac Robinson to deuce on the Falcons mid season and come to Stilly) and now Gundy survives but is in Board of Regents purgatory...

Redirecting a coaches salary to NIL money will be an interesting little trick for sure. 

If my choice is ($X-5) or $0;  why the fuck do I care where the -5 goes?  Oh you want to help invest in the talent on the field?  Mkay.  I really just care that $X.

Just read the posts from the last week in this thread.  All that's missing is a fabricated Craig James episode.

One of those regents thinks they can get Tuberville...

I have no idea what your sentences are attempting to convey. The issue is that coaches salaries are paid by the school, and as of right now NIL cannot be paid by the school. So that money has to move to a collective or similar non-affiliated entity.

I initially read your post from the perspective of the HC.  I see now that is not what you were discussing.

My comments on idiot regents were still relevant, however; with regard to overall management of the situation.

I think the reference was to what they're calling "House money" based on the House case which will allow (or require, I forget) directly payments from the University to players.

Oklahoma State approves shorter, lighter contract for Mike Gundy

Entering his 21st year, Mike Gundy will no longer have tenure atop the Oklahoma State football program.

Zach Barnett    3 hours ago

Following the worst season of his 20-tenure tenure, Mike Gundy will coach 2025 on a reduced contract that makes it easier for Oklahoma State to identify and compensate a potential successor.

The Oklahoma A&M Colleges Board of Regents on Friday approved a previously-reported $1 million pay cut for Gundy, which also effectively ended his tenure atop the OSU football program. Gundy agreed in principle to the changes last month. He will now make $6.75 million in 2025 instead of a previously-scheduled $7.75 million. The deal comes with annual $125,000 raises. 

In 2017, Gundy and OSU signed a 5-year contract with an automatic rollover. That deal has been replaced by a 4-year contract, which is now set to expire in 2028. 

Additionally, Gundy's buyout was changed from a percentage of the dollars remaining on his contract to a flat fee of $15 million for the next three years. It would have cost Oklahoma State a reported $25 million to fire Gundy after 2025 under the previous deal.

Speaking of buyouts, the new contract requires Gundy to participate in "identifying, evaluating and developing a potential successor to facilitating a smooth transition of the program to the new coach" at the request of AD Chad Weiberg, according to The Oklahoman. 

The $1 million that Oklahoma State is not paying Gundy will now be put toward the anticipated revenue share with Cowboy athletes. Gundy is also contractually required to participate in fundraising, which can include anything from "large gatherings to one-on-one events" at the request of the AD. 

Following a 3-9 season in which Oklahoma State finished alone in last place in the Big 12 by two games, Gundy will be the only on-field assistant to return to his staff in 2025. Doug Meacham (offense) and Todd Grantham (defense) are new coordinator hires who will lead staffs comprised of position coaches who all coached elsewhere in 2024.
