Gundy

The other thing I find amusing is on social media OSU fans were getting extremely upset that when ranking Big 12 coaches going into the season Gundy wasn’t ranked #1. My counter-argument to the “all his past accomplishments” arguments was “I don’t care what his past accomplishments are, you don’t get to be #1 when you go 0-9 in conference the previous year.”
Gundy was a great coach that never adapted to NIL and refused to. Pretty impressive career. I think Oklahoma State is going to have a rough stretch for awhile.
He seems like a guy that had success and started to believe his own hype and lost his way! OR...he burned out but didn't want to quit...and this became inevitable.
He got raptured
but what i don't get, why allow him to do a presser yesterday only to get fired today.

I think it's a little bit of both, but more the latter.
In hindsight, he should have rode off into the sunset after 2023.
Hope he enjoys his experience at the Oklahoma unemployment office when he shows up tomorrow to claim unemploynent benefits.
I see Oklahoma State in a similar boat to WVU--not enough NIL to compete with the top teams. While BYU and Texas Tech are going to soar, I think OSU, without Boone Pickens and other teams like VT and WVU, will drop from top 25ish programs into the new "Kansases." Will K-State drop? Will Colorado rise? Houston bought some dudes. In the NIL era, past success means zero. Clemson 1-3 is a perfect example.
He and Patterson should start a band.
Quite the pendulum at the end his run...
2021: 12-2, a play away from the Big 12 title and likely a CFP berth
2022: 7-6 record
2023: 10-4, Big 12 Coach of the Year
2024-now: 4-11 record

If OSU and WVU don't have enough NIL, what do you think we have?
Gundy was one of those guys who was always good for a quote. I'm going to miss having him at OSU. I'm sure he'll be just fine with that buyout he got.
The right coaches, for now..
Rumor is they structured his buyout so it pays only a little on the front end, and then a lot on the back. Also known as a "mulleted buyout".
