    Head coaching search survey results

    No decent P4 programs are coming for Gundy. He's shown himself to be a lazy, complacent doofus who completely burned his own program down. The SEC would chew him up and spit him out. No one outside of a G5 program would hire him.

    Has an otherwise successful HC ever presided over the demise of a program to this degree?

    I haven't seen any other programs in the new NIL era totally fall apart. Florida State has not been good the last couple of years, but they're not yet the disaster that we are. They're two years removed from going 13-0.

    North Carolina never achieved the kind of success in football that OSU has. They suck, but they've not been good over the last twenty years.

    Has an otherwise successful HC ever presided over the demise of a program to this degree?

    Just curious to hear some opinions, but I can't recall when an entrenched HC--who led a program to the success that Gundy led OSU--left a program so completely in shambles and disarray. Not even competitive. I know that Gundy is owed a debt of gratitude for what he did for OSU, but he also...

    Gundy is out…..

    Hopefully, we can find a coach who will actually talk to players and call them by name😁

    Gundy is out…..

    And by then, most of the guys you might have had a chance to hire will be off the market. You can’t wait until the end of the season.

    You Over/Under For This Year?

    It depends how we win and/or lose. I think we can win 6 or 7, but I don't want to see any more humiliating losses like last year. In most of Gundy's losses over the past few years, we haven't even been competitive.

    Fall Practice Thread

    Combination of bad coaching from Dunn and Nardo, and bad QB and OL play. NIL is now the norm. Teams can and will look completely different from year to year--ours is an extreme case with 50 new players and an entirely new staff. At least we cleaned house and brought in some coaches who appear...

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he earns his money at OU. I think the level of coaching was so bad under Nardo, that he was completely demoralized and figured just get it over with. With a good coach and a good defensive scheme, the guy could live up to his potential.

    Did we keep Dickey, or is he gone?

    Ex DC Todd Grantham, HC Doug Meacham

    I don't see it happening. I think we'll be better just because things had gotten so stagnant that ANY change would be an improvement, but how do you let your program get in that bad a shape when you've been coaching there for twenty years? And in the most pivotal year for the program in the...

    Ex DC Todd Grantham, HC Doug Meacham

    My problem with Gundy is his DGAF attitude after big losses, and the same idiotic responses to questions, "I need to watch the film", "I thought our schemes were good/bad", "we got out-coached", etc. What is that? He was getting paid $7.5M for that? Couple that with keeping Dunn as OC for...

    Gundy Not in Trouble….restructuring

    Look at Indiana, a perennial doormat. All it took was finding the right guy, and in year 1, they’re in the CFP. The guy’s brash and bold, and has immediately instilled toughness and a winning attitude.
