OT: Oklahoma State fires Mike Gundy

Dana has some heavy weights that like him at OSU.

It’s actually not unlike how he ended up here.

T-Boone money is called…wait it for it…NIL.
For decades blue bloods and every successful team has been backed up by money under the table. This is and has been the dirty secret that everyone knows in the inner circle of college football.
Gundy is made for TV…if he wants it.

So, more wealthy drinking buddies that can offer him a job, you say?

So then Dana should be a good fit…

Yeah, “Holgorsen is very familiar with the Big 12”, as a result of getting his ass handed to him by every team in both the old and new versions of the Big 12.

The funny thing is, Dana might be one of the few coaches who would say YES for the job. Not that he would ever succeed. Tons of really hard work would be needed from the new coach to turn things around. And Dana and hard work are sort of mutually exclusive…

Just show OSU the clip of Dana Holgorsen informing the world “I CAN’T COACH THIS S••T, I CAN’T F••KING COACH THIS S••T!!!”

I still have the video on my phone and PC.

We need guys on defense!

No way OKST hires Dana. Recruiting was the main issue with Gundy. Dana would be even worse.

I think Gundy should put some feelers out for an OC position in the NFL. I think he could be really successful and wouldn’t have to worry about playing GM.

Kinne would be a great hire for OKST. Young and unafraid of the NIL game. Would be thrilled to have him in the conference.

I tried using a dropbox link, it wouldn’t work. The m4 video is too large for this site.

Who is the conf elder now?

Does Whittingham count?

Kinne would be their best move, Dana loves a built in excuse and he would walk in there and tell em the recruiting ship sailed with Gundy, it’s life in the Big 12 and I can’t coach this sh*t. Anyone signing up for the HC Dana show is just trying to kill a program with the baggage he brings. He’s where he belongs, being an OC.

Holgorsen was an OC under Gundy. Oklahoma St. knows what they are getting. I would caution Oklahoma St. that the skills needed for a successful head coach are different than being a successful OC. Buyer beware.

Why do y’all keep trying to talk OSU out of making what would clearly be a great hire?

Some mention of Alex Golesh.
USF HC started as GA at Okie State.
ISU TE/RC for 3 years before OC at Tenn.

Seems set up more for Gulf South at this point.
