Good old Spencer helped a lot of those guys decide to leave. The only good side to his leaving is you can’t miss him if he’s not gone. The only thing he could have possibly done worse is go to Norman. He actively tried to burn the house down on his way out.
I’m happy for him if he’s happy, played his ass for five years. I think he never had a legitimate OC during that time.
You are priceless, and as more than likely a longer serving OSU lifer I will tell you that you do you and that I will manage me. Mr Sanders was and is an asshat judging from his actions, everyone works hard that doesn’t make him immune from disdain. Mr Ford was used by the Toad of Goon for their amusement and I feel bad for him.
If “ifs” and “buts” were candy any nuts then we would all have a Merry Christmas.
we still beat Ford. The scoreboard means more to me than an emotional reaction
I'm getting there. If it ever separates from the NCAA and becomes a "super league" and nothing more than cash-grabbing shitty semi-pro minor league for the NFL where the games are nothing but excuses to make you watch commercials for 3.75 hours then I'll probably move on and just watch the shitty football in the NFL where you can at least learn the players' names from year to year.
There were times when Sanders was brilliant. That comeback win over Notre Dame was an all-timer. We were a healthy Jalyn Warren away from winning the Big 12 CCG two years ago. With a healthy Warren we aren't in position to have to score on that final play, but a healthy Warren scores on that final play. He plants a foot and turns upfield and runs through an arm-tackle.
You need to hone your interpretation of “playing his ass off”. Sanders played well when he wanted to, no consistency. Lay the leaving at the feet of Gundy if you wish, but it’s revisionist history. Sanders and his mother blew their relationship with the coaching staff by their actions and attitudes.we still beat Ford. The scoreboard means more to me than an emotional reaction
I agree Sanders wasn’t perfect, I don’t feel he was the problem with the offense in 2022. He played his ass off 4 years, with a lot of growing pains- under three different OCs; the lack of a running game, not developing a backup QB, and a patchwork offensive line were the biggest problems in 2022.
I dont believe we hired the best OC we could get; and when Sanders was injured he didn’t want to risk further injuries due to having a patchwork line and an OC that was in over his head.
This was Gundy’s 18th season as a head coach.
I would use SS all day every day as a cautionary tale for the transfer portal.
Zrob?
Let's not pretend like he was unflinchingly heralded as a saint and held in the same regard as a Brandon Weeden or Mason Rudolph was his whole time here. He caught a LOT of flack from the very start, some warranted, but just as much unwarranted. He masked a lot of issues with our offense and without his playmaking ability, we don't win Bedlam in 2021, we don't go to the Big 12 title game, the Fiesta Bowl and beat ND, etc... etc... Don't believe me? Look at how the offense functioned hardly any better this season than last with stone statue Alan Bowman at the helm behind an improved O-Line scheme and the best running back in the country to hand the ball to. Not trying to knock Bowman, just highlighting the clear distinction which, yes, can be argued the other direction in plenty of ways as well. Will also mention it wouldn't take much digging to go back through this board both last season and this season and find several people calling for various coaching and other changes to be made, myself included. This season ended up getting pieced together to a pretty good end result, but few if any of us thought that would be the case the latter half of last season and first half of this season. We all thought it was going to be a repeat of 2022 and end with not even being bowl eligible. Given all that, would you personally look to go to a known good team for your final year to try and earn a starting spot, or hang onto a seemingly sinking ship with the same combo of Dunn and Dickey that flopped the year prior? You still have nothing more to think or say regarding SS leaving besides "F--- you"?
Quit trying to mansplain. He could have avoided most of the negativity, he chose not to do so. He tried to burn the house down on the way out. When you do that people are not going to revere you, they tend to loathe you.
Because it came back up when Spencer failed his classes at Ole Miss.Why in gawds name are we spending this much time, energy, and effort discussing Sanders when we have a bowl game against a seriously depleted and demoralized cult of collie coming up and we should be the most healthy and whole we’ve been since Bedlam? Fuck him and his momma and the horses they rode in on. They’re gone and all I have to say is…
