Little known fact: The 2007 "I'm a man, I'm 40" speech was about Alan Bowman.

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

At OSU Gundy had a streak of 18 years of winning records, 17 years of appearing in the AP poll, 5 of last 10 years had 10+ win seasons.... 1st year where NIL really showing it's impact and suddenly they realize they don't have enough funds for both a good coach and good players.  The minute they fire him (they will, they seem to have to now)... they won't have either.

Whoa. The plot thicks. What could oSu possibly have on Gundy that they're confident enough to say "sign this reduced contract or we're gonna fire you & not pay you a dime"?

I don’t think it’s as dramatic as it sounds but shit is definitely happening. And you all know that Bowman post is from a parody account, right? He’s been posting his farewells on Instagram all week.

Yeah, but seriously--it's Mike Gundy.  You know they wouldn't have to look very hard to find cause, right?

What are they gonna pin on him, not being Eddie Sutton's designated driver in 2006?

But let's say they reduce his contract and tell him the money he's forfeiting has to go to their NIL. He's making $7.5mm now, right? How much of a haircut are they going to give him & what impact do they expect that to have? Would he take a $2.5mm pay cut and hope that allows him to buy another 5 years worth of employment?

Its weird, has to be something going on behind the scenes. You dont do this to a guy like Gundy for one bad season.

He's been notoriously stubborn about coordinators. The one thing that would have me joining the mob against him would be if he were to look to DII for coordinators again. The Nardo hire really bit him in the fucking ass. The last credible rumor I saw was that the AD or administration gets a say in the coordinator hire. If that sets him off, I'm fine with us parting ways. Otherwise I agree, you don't fire him for a bad season.

Last year should have been this season. We were 2-10 bad and he managed to win 10 games.  We got no breaks at all this year and the team quit on him.

It's not any secret that Holgorsen was forced on Gundy by Holder (and probably Boone). Or that Gundy resented Holgy getting so much credit for the offense's output in 2010. Or maybe Gundy was just pissed that Holgy was living in the Atherton, getting drunk and banging coeds in the bars in Stilly and missing all of the mandatory 8AM staff meetings.

My recollection is that he was hiring car services to take him to the casinos to drink and bang sluts and that's why we loved him. All those Red Bull and vodkas finally caught up to him I think, he's lost it, have fun Neby, lol.

I'm sure your memories are better. My intel is from an oSu alum who claimed Gundy tried to steal his date from him at a frat mixer back in the day. He's maintained the family's season tix since the '70s and has had mostly a hate/love attitude towards MG as coach.

0-9 in the Big XII is not "one bad season." 

Five of those losses were blowouts and in the last game against Colorado, it looked like they had quit and were just going through the motions. T. Boone Pickens isn't rising up from the grave to save the day and it looks like the administration and a lot of the fan base want him gone. It could go either way, but I would lean to him being gone. He won't take a pay cut.

Fun fact is that T. Boone's daughter from his second marriage Liz, attended UT. I had classes with her and got to know her. I asked her why she didn't go to OSU and she kind of rolled her eyes at me. She said it was easy to pick between UT and OSU and even easier to pick between Stillwater and Austin. Last I heard she did what she said she was going to do and became an art appraiser in New York City.

I have no idea.  But a guy like Mike Gundy . . . in a town like Stillwater?  You know there are several skeletons in that particular closet.  Probably drunk pregnant skeletons, if I had to guess.

If there's anyone in need of a haircut, its Mike Gundy.

So this all reads like the oSu admin really, REALLY wants to move on from MG. But they sure as fuck don't want to pay him a Jimbo-lite severance on the way out.

Now they're trying to force him to take a hometown discount while keeping their boosters lathered up with the promise of spending the money on NIL.

Plus Gundy's gonna have to agree to input from others (read: we're hiring your staff) for the vacant coordinator positions. And likely been told he has to make a bowl game in '25 or he's gone.

-- the preceding opinion was not brought to you by a mother. Of children.
