I think ISU has done a better job building relationships with more than one donor. I also think ISU and We Will have worked really hard to build up the grass roots and crowd source fundraising, with many donors who are able to donate small amounts.

I would bet it's going to be Jim Knowles.
I would CACKLE if they hire Klein before K State gets the opportunity.

The way things are going in Atlanta, he should be available in a few weeks. Penix has only thrown 1 TD this season and they just fired their receivers coach.
ISU and Blum have done about as good of a job as possible for a school that doesn’t have a lot of deep pocket fans and donors.
That being said, we’re still not a big money school or fanbase, so it still needs to be nurtured.
Wait, I thought hawk fans said we have a couple of mega-donors funding our programs?
Makes sense. He played there, and he is not long for the NFL based on rumblings out of Atlanta
A former Colorado player claimed he used a racial slur during a game in 1989. He denied it. Whether or not it happened, you would hope there was some personal growth considering he worked around kids of various races for 36 years after that.
I think we are a little early in the adjustment period and things haven't been stable long enough for it to play out this way yet, but I wonder if eventually a good Big 12 job like OSU can pull a head coach and staff from a upper half but not elite school in the Big Ten or SEC where they know their path to the CFP is blocked. I think, after awhile, those schools are going to see issues with recruiting.
I'm surprised they didn't wait until after the season to do this but maybe there is something else going on in that lockeroom right now that made OSU think it couldn't wait until later?
I have always liked Gundy, he definitely was never shy to defend his players publicly when he felt they were receiving unfair criticism or press. The "I'm a man, I'm 40" rant may be one of the most epic things he's given the sports world for a press conference. How could you not like a guy that has his player's back like that and isn't scared to call it out? I would guess this is not the last we'll see of Gundy, he'll probably land another HC job after this if his heart is still in it.

That rant turned 18 yesterday, it's a man! It's 18!
Guess its up to him, with $15 million in the buyout, and he has made plenty of money in the past, nice time to step into early retirement if he wants or take another job if he chooses.
