The Cowboys have dropped 11 of their past 12 games dating to the start of the 2024 season, with 11 consecutive defeats against FBS opponents -- the longest such streak among Power 4 programs nationally.

Gundy will be owed $15 million by the university.

    You and others bring up the "Gundy is a big conservative meanie!!! that t-shirt!! that fucking t-shirt!!!" stuff every time anyone says anything about the guy. I was mostly paying attention when the s

He’ll get the rest of the season and retire. I really don’t want an interim then questions whether to just hire that person. Need a complete reset.

This post really aged well. lulz.

Big XII is dead.  Keep saying it.

Look the good news is you guys get to be the poor man's Texas in the b12.  You just kilt off Gundy, who's next?  

#2257

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).  

#2259

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. 

#2260

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.

Mike Gundy’s legendary “I’m a man, I’m 40” rant turned 18 yesterday, and the day after his soliloquy reached adulthood they fired him. 😢

They had to wait until he turned 18 to fuck him.

#2266

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

Maybe, but most of us don't care enough about Okie Lite to post there much. Especially when we no longer play 'em.

Probably could’ve done this in 2018

I mean he was half a yard away from the 4 team playoffs in 2021 which is probably closer than any other coach is going to be able to get them in the expanded playoffs for the foreseeable future.  It worked pre NIL era.  Not so much now.

Oklahoma State is firing head coach Mike Gundy, sources tell @CBSSports

 

Future interview with Gundy after firing is official. Ed O paraphrased it presciently, "Toodle loo, motherfuckers!"

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.

We probably do not need two threads dedicated to Mike Gundy on a Texas fan site. 

yeah, this board is so super active right now that it makes no sense to make a new topic for this as opposed to burying it in a 50+ page metathread that i'm sure we all check in on daily.

Gundy isn't even interesting enough to be a tv character on a preview show.

This thread is about OK State;  not Gundy.

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. 

#2278

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 

#2281

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.

OAN might be more his speed. Get an FCS Game of the week on that channel and let him do his thing.

He’s on the back side of his 50s and has generational wealth, why would he need to do anything at all? 

#2285

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.

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.

Can't wait to really hate his ass.

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.
