amazing how the commucrats believe american voters are stupid enough to buy the bait and switch/shell game they are pushing. their only goal must be to DESTROY the middle class, and go to a 2 class society, the upper ruling class with their private jets and $500 meals ( how will a jet fly on battery power, asking for a friend?) and the pauper class waiting for their housing vouchers and commodities cheese to arrive.

gotta add, jen psucki saying there is no reason to believe business owners will raise prices after the min wage goes to $15/hr. spoken like true english/sociolgy major. raggedy ann hasn't got a clue!!!!

Carlson: Why Mike Gundy's hiring track record at OSU should ease some of the pain of losing Jim Knowles​

Jenni Carlson
Oklahoman

Mike Gundy thought it would take something big to lure Jim Knowles away from Oklahoma State.

Really big.

“The Green Bay Packers may offer him $3 million, I can’t say for sure,” the Cowboy coach said a little over a week ago when asked about his defensive coordinator’s future. “But within reason, I’m very, very certain that he’ll be coaching here next year.”

Ohio State isn’t Green Bay, but the Buckeyes may well be the Packers of college football. When they offered Knowles a chance to be their defensive coordinator and receive what is likely to be a significant pay raise, he decided to leave Stillwater for Columbus.

It’s a monumental loss for the Cowboys. No reason to sugarcoat that. In four years, Knowles transformed the OSU defense from constant concern to smashing strength. It was the reason the Cowboys played for a Big 12 title and had a legit shot at a spot in the College Football Playoff this season.

But as Cowboys everywhere ponder moving forward without Knowles, it’s important to remember the track record of the guy who'll be finding Knowles' replacement.

Gundy has done a masterful job hiring coordinators.

His most notable work has come on the offensive side of the ball. Since 2010, Gundy has hired Dana Holgorsen, Todd Monken, Mike Yurcich, Sean Gleeson and Kasey Dunn. Sure, Gleeson was only in Stillwater a year and the returns on Dunn are still early, but Holgorsen, Monken and Yurcich were all big-time hires.

They had the Cowboy offense humming like the OSU defense hummed this season.

Yurcich, you’ll remember, was the longest tenured of those offensive coordinators, and he was the least-known of any when Gundy hired him. He was calling plays at tiny Shippensburg. He was in Division II.

He was on no one’s radar.

Search for “Shippensburg” and “Yurcich” on YouTube, and you’ll find a video of him describing a fake play using Legos. It's equal parts charming and cringeworthy.

A year later, Gundy hired him to coach the Cowboys.

Gundy made a similarly off-the-beaten path hire four years ago when he fired Glenn Spencer and brought in Knowles. Now, he wasn’t as far in the weeds as Yurcich had been. Knowles was the defensive coordinator at Duke, a Power 5 school. Still, being a football assistant at Duke isn’t nearly as high profile as being a basketball assistant there.

No one was crowing about Jim Knowles.

But Gundy has long said after Knowles came to Stillwater to interview, Gundy had no doubt about who he should hire. Knowles went into the film room and started breaking down plays, and Gundy and the assistants who were in the room were instantly hooked. Knowles had energy and passion and understanding.

Gundy knew Knowles would connect with players and improve the defense.

He did those things in ways longtime OSU types could’ve never imagined. Leading the Big 12 in defense? Ranking toward the top nationally in several categories? Winning games with defense?

Knowles was so good at what he did that reports indicate OSU was looking to significantly boost his salary from $800,000 a year to $1.3 million.

But sources have indicated Ohio State offered him a multi-year deal with $2 million a year.

Not $3 million. Not the Packers.

But pretty darn close.

Now, OSU must find Knowles’ replacement. Maybe Gundy won’t go as far under the radar this time; when he hired Knowles, Gundy said he thought defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements would have made an excellent coordinator. Clements is still a Cowboy assistant, and considering the success his defensive line has had, maybe he’s ready to lead the defense.

Or perhaps Gundy can lure more of an up-and-comer because of the players already on the roster. Coastal Carolina’s Chad Staggs or Houston’s Doug Belk or Texas-San Antonio’s Rod Wright could be possibilities.

There are also a few familiar names to remember. Longtime TCU coach and defensive mastermind Gary Patterson is out of a job. So is Todd Orlando, who was at USC before Lincoln Riley arrived.

Who will Gundy hire? Will it be someone on one of these lists that everyone formulates when jobs like this come open?

It’s impossible to know — Mike Gundy’s track record is as unpredictable as it is outstanding.

Feel bad for you guys- y'all really think it'll ever stop? Y'all know they are laughing their ever
Loving A$$es off at y'all don't ya? I mean how much can y'all actually take of this before you wake up? My big Pharma brainwashed 76 year old mother Even stopped after two ...of course she about died in the hospital after those but you know - I'm sure it wasn't due to the shots

Hard to believe they are trying to keep people from getting
Well.

I think we need to hit the transfer portal hard for help on the OL. Would be nice if we could get a couple guys now so they can be here for spring practice.

It’s getting boring just kicking the asses over & over Btw where did all the Sooners looking for injury reports here 2 weeks ago run off to?

PlayStation is the main sponsor. Everyone gets a PlayStation 5 as part of the bowl swag package. Considering they’re hard to get, that’s a sweet deal. But maybe I’m just a jealous gamer. 😃

In at LT for Chicago.

To wake up and recognize who the bad guys are. 35 minutes that should be listened to by every Democrat/leftist/progressive that posts on this board.

I like Dickey but it’s hard to envision him winning recruiting battles for players like this. This guy recently decommitted from Oregon.

Hint: While playing for Baltimore Colts in 1950 had 96-yard TD run from scrimmage against the Green Packers--still tied for sixth longest rushing TD in NFL history-- longer than any NFL touchdown ever scored by OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, Bo Jackson, Jim Brown or Barry Sanders....


Bonus hints:

Born in OKC
Buried in Stillwater
Not in the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame

Your US Senate

meanwhile, SS is going to be 22% underfunded by 2034 unless congress acts responsibly and does something to remedy the situation

Would Joe Bob be a candidate?

If not someone internally, who are some realistic candidates?

Signing day is 12/15 so it feels like we are up against a really tight deadline here. But, if the past is any indication, Gundy may wait until after the bowl game.


Thoughts?

Awesome!

Cowboys should be so creative. 3rd and goal at the 1 and a great play call wr inside screen sort of. Great call and was wide open.

Not a scotch guy. What’s your choice for around $75? Need to be able to buy in Oklahoma. Thanks in advance!
