How? Our BOR gets up there and act like they will fire him with cause. Well fire him. A lot of bark and no bite. Gundy has a lot of screw ups but yesterday was on the BOR.

It's done. Gundy remains

- Start date
This is about the very same thing Michigan did with Jim Harbaugh. Worked out pretty well.
OSU and Michigan are worlds apart from those magical couple of Harbaugh years. We aren’t sniffing the CFP for a good long while after this 0-9 conference season, and the jackass this institution just backed is NOT the answer in 2025.
True, I don’t expect OSU to go on a NC run, but wasn’t Michigan like 2-4 in that COVID season and then flipped the switch pretty quick?
This portal and NIL era is a a double edged sword, but if we have a few extra mil to throw at NIL and coordinators, I have more hope to rebuild quickly now then I would’ve in the old format.
Having money to throw at good players and coaches seems to cure all lol.
Harbaugh was before Michigan and after one of the best coaches in all of football. Gundy ain’t even the best coach in the state of Oklahoma.
Polish that turd! You can make shine like a diamond if you work hard enough at it. Very same as Michigan...smh
OSU twitter is hilarious; correcting their own “reports” haha
Or we just kicked the can down the road for another year or two or three…
I appreciate the hope and all that, but all we did was delay the inevitable
And they still haven’t really recovered how many years later
Nope! We weren’t cheating enough 🤣🤣
I will volunteer as the Connor Stallions of Oklahoma St
We might need to cheat to win 7-8 games next year
No. This gives MG ample time to turn it around.
Just wear camo to the games and sit right up on the opposing sideline.Nope! We weren’t cheating enough 🤣🤣

Plus. Usually you refer buddies. But sometimes the best assistants aren’t the greatest of friends. Similar to Holgerson/Gundy
And it wasn’t Beamer fault. It was an inability to place importance on the program over a single coach.
Imagine you've been a HC of a P4 team for 20 years and need help finding good coordinators.
This needs stated again and again
How exactly does Gundy compete in a NIL age when he shit all over donors last year? Hell we seemed to fundraise at light speed when his possible firing was on the table. That’s a problem. He better start kissing donor ass (like any competent coach in this age) and get everyone pulling in the same direction instead of dividing everyone.
I think you answered your own question. Will he do that? Idk. Ideally whatever guardrails are in this new deal will require it, but who knows
that's the big question....of many. Will he do what it takes. If not, he should be on a short leash. He can delegate some of that, so maybe that's his plan. You just hope there aren't more leaks in the roof than you have buckets.
“Our sources also tell us coach Gundy is already working on a play to overcome the negative publicity over the past two days.”
I’m sure this play will be genius.
Ha… I’m so peeved over yesterday I hadn’t even made it this far down the road yet.
I was dreading taking my 9yo son to a three hour Pokémon tournament today but after all these new realizations this morning I think I’d rather watch the kids have fun than continue the trip down this rabbit hole
I am so insanely disappointed in this admin. I think all 3 need to go.
‘Our sources’
Does that nitwit really believe that anyone doesn’t instantly insert ‘coach Gundy’ for that phrase when reading?
No, because no one is really sure what action the BoR will have to take to finalize/formalize everything.
The play is going on Robert Allen and friends and doing a hard hitting interview for the masses.
I believe they succeeded in gaining leverage over an employee that they didn’t have at the beginning of the day. It took a stare down and willingness to fire him, but it was serious enough our arrogant self-serving coach blinked first. They sent a message that people in the regents group and donors are ready to fire Gundy if improvements in his coaching and representation of the university and football program don’t improve! He’s now aware he has a short leash and we will see if he can improve things moving forward. If not, he will be shown the door!
It became public because Gundy, in typical fashion, chose to make it so. I’m sure that was noted for future reference and I can guarantee you they anticipated he would do just that because if anything, we got to this point due to Gundy’s actions and mouth.
For these reasons, I think yesterday’s exercise was successful in gaining control of the employer -employee relationship as it should be and therefore was a BOR success.
Makes sense and then it scares me beyond puckered. Thanks!
Oh before I forgot again this morning. A shout out on your coverage yesterday along with @dtspoke, @dignon003, @osu2082 (and I am probably forgetting someone) was off the charts good. It was easy to forget since this site according to some is silent without representation (paraphrasing here) because it is not worth the effort to quote some dumbass yahoo.

Yesterday was a PR disaster and probably pissed off the donors who pledged to fund a buyout.
Until we know the terms of the new contract there is no way to know if anything has actually improved or if there’s just a lot more lipstick on the pig.
It was not a win.
