September 23Sep 23 Will be interested to hear details on this. It's clear this was his last year regardless. But I think he earned the right to coach the rest of the season and announce a mutual separation on his own terms (with understanding coaching search is underway). I mean that's basically what happened with Patterson right? Or maybe I'm misremembering. In any event, I wondered if they offered that up and he told them to pound sand and fire him (and they obliged).

September 23Sep 23 Sorta want to see him do game commentary or a cfb studio show and go completely off the rails on the current state of cfb.
September 23Sep 23 Will be really interesting to see what he does from here. He’s never been anything but an Oklahoma country boy and has never shown interest in moving away. Heard he’s been a huge pain in the ass for years there but he got results. Getting to take the rest of the season off in probably what he needs.
September 23Sep 23 definitely means he told them he wouldn't retire , or say he was going to retire . potentially reneging on terms laid out at the end of last year. i don't see how otherwise OSU would do this

It worked pre NIL era. Not so much now.

He's also likely to inject his politics on any TV feature he does (lest we forget the t-shirt he wore) since he's no longer a public employee, so hard pass on that.
September 23Sep 23 if im Ok State, i'm calling up Traylor and GJ Kinne yesterday before Arkansas inevitably collapses under pittmans moobs

September 23Sep 23 I think this job is going to be a good test case. In years past this would be a job a hot coordinator would jump at, proven ability to have success combined with relatively realistic expectations; you could turn it into a long gig or a stepping stone. In the super conference NIL era? One wrong move can derail a career in big ways. I think we see more coordinators be careful about the HC jobs they take and testing NFL assistant waters.
September 23Sep 23 Probably be pretty entertaining on the Fox desk next year although they may need to switch to a Hollywood Squares style format to get everyone on screen
September 23Sep 23 I wouldn't touch this job with a 10 foot pole if I was Traylor or any other up and comer, not unless I was presented with a firm and competent NIL strategy from the OSU admin first, accompanied by a firm commitment to sticking to that for the forseeable future.

Get an FCS Game of the week on that channel and let him do his thing.

September 23Sep 23 Didn't expect midseason but it was over either way. I assume Meachem will interim and I now have to hope we tank because we need youth and innovation in coaching like Gundy's early years. And to whoever said NIL strategy, yeah, duh, every program needs to figure out solid NIL plans to attract a new coach. Regardless of how it ended, Gundy transformed the program from nothingness to national relevance. One and a quarter bad seasons don't undo any of that, but it was time to move on in the new landscape. Edited September 23Sep 23 by 'stache

Because ex-coaches get bored and they are really full of themselves. Why did Tuberville run for Senate? Why did Mack Brown take another job after 6 years of retirement? Gundy will either enter the political sphere or be in a new job after a year or two off.

Yeah I was just saying that I hope they have some semblance of a plan in place before they start interviewing guys, and that they can convince potential coaches that they will have the full support of the administration because from the outside it looks like Gundy didn't have that the last couple seasons.

September 23Sep 23 He'll be on TV somewhere. His press conferences are interesting and he knows a lot about the game obviously. Whether you like him or hate him he's still a known personality. No way he enters politics. He could say all the right things for this red state and he'd still be hated by more than half the state because he built his reputation at OSU and not OU. Hell, Cale Gundy has a better chance at being elected, he'd fit right in with today's climate.

I think we all saw the writing on the wall with Gundy but I was kinda surprised to see him fired mid-season based on his twenty years of “service.” They better get serious about where they want their program to be. But I also get it’s a good time to go grab the next up and comer. I’d target GJ Kinne or someone like that, but that’s me.
