This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.

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. 

In other words, "you've got a HCIW on your staff, Mike. Make sure he knows where the keys to the locker room are."

Are we sure Gundy didn't get his freak on with some high up's wife or daughter? Shitty season aside, it sure looks like they're ready to cut bait from coach mullet.

They returned most of their starters and completely shit the bed this year. He isn’t even trying in recruiting and Gundy has done nothing to organize an NIL effort. He basically quit on the job and this is the AD putting him on notice.

With all the returning starters for 2024, as well as a potential Heisman Top 5 RB entering the season, what in the Hell happened to the Pokes last year? With the two departures, I for sure thought that they, along with ISU and BYU, were locks to contend for the B12 title.

Hook’em!!!

Defense had some really key injuries though they shouldn’t have been so bad. Experienced offensive line played like absolute shit and is what I can’t explain. I read that the old OL coach Charlie Dickey was literally mailing it in and was an asshole and there was criticism of Gundy for not canning him earlier, but who knows, that was on the message board.

Gundy wasn’t mailing it in nor will he going forward. He’s also not been as hostile to the new rules as people say, he’s openly hated it like other coaches, but has also discussed how he’s using the portal and nil. Saying to not ask for more money mid season is reasonable imo. His approach though had to change and it will. 

His successor isn’t on campus right now. Doug Meacham would be closest if he succeeds as OC but he’s a few years older than Gundy and has never been a HC. If he gets the position in the next 4 years it’ll be a gap hire. His son Gunner is on staff now as QC something or other but he’s has a long way to becoming a head coach. I always assumed he was on the roster to learn coaching. Cooper Bassett and Andrew Mitchell came back as OL coaches but also need more experience for HC consideration.

The most popular choice would be Zac Robinson, he might be ready in a few years if he succeeds in Atlanta, but if so he might end up NFL HC before Gundy retires and would be hard to get him to move to college. The contract language says he’ll help the AD “identify” etc a new coach so I don’t think that person is currently on campus. But we’ll see, I know we’ll be better next year, but no idea how much better. If not he’ll probably just step down and take the $15 mil.
