I believe the only thing that explains how a team with everyone back from a 10 win team becomes the worst team in the Big 12:
Gundy is retiring. He told the staff before the year it would be his last so they could keep their ear to the ground for other jobs. The staff always hated Nardo (they think he doesn't know anything) and while they helped him last year are not helping at all or doing the bare minimum. I remember the last time Gundy hired a lower division coaching wizz (Yurcich) in 2013 the offensive staff really had to pitch in. So much so the win over highly ranked Baylor that year was a staff affair pitching in, Wickline and Dunn inserting some of the 2010-2012 offense. With Gundy leaving, the defensive coaches want to see Nardo fail as massively as possible. They were looked over for this asshole.
Thus the defense is suffering from a DC who sucks and position coaches already looking for the next gig.
The offense suffers because Dunn sucks, Dickey knows he is not getting another power 4 job and just plans on retiring, and Gundy disengaged after the first loss and is just not up for another reclamation job. No spirit, no passion, no guidance from this staff.
Sad because the roster on paper is as good and should have been better than last year.
Gundy is retiring and we will find that out the last game.
