Changes Need to be Made

[Spider Rico]

In two years are you going to be the one who puts the dead hooker in his trunk?

Sir. I like the cut of your jib.

Not bad. Chad needs to do something to motivate MG.

Yeah. I don't know if it's his care or what but I can't think of another team that's had a 4 year stretch like we've had.

5 years is too long. He needs to be on a 2 year leash max.

Agree. He needs a short list but that was 5 years to WIN a championship, 2 to get there.

Not that it matter but i was trying to think of a way to give him a chance to show serious and lasting improvement with understanding that it might take a couple years to get there.

That escalated quick.

I laid out my thoughts on how it should be handled here

And I indeed did like that post but...if you are going to get rid of him in two years it's going to be with cause (the hooker thing) or cost $$$

Chad completely gave up the motivating stick when he gave Gundawg a 5 year rollover contract.

This season is an epic failure of expectations only outdone by FSU (Norvell is dead man walking). With each passing week and loss, Gundy sounds more and more like a coach that has 'jumped the shark'. Our program is now bigger than Gundy's vision and energy for it. It's time for Weiberg to start the succession process. The theme going fwd needs to be 'perform and be held accountable'. There is too much at stake in the broader college football landscape over the next few years to not course correct NOW. Listening to excuses for this year and running it back with more of the same is nothing short of institutional negligence.

1. Notify Gundy, that oSu is opting out of the YoY renewal. He is now officially on the clock. Gundy has earned the right to get us out of the hole he's led us into, but under tighter supervision and timeline. YoY improvements MUST be made and the timeline to get back to Big XII Champ contention level is 2 years TOPS otherwise it is 'Thank you for your service'! Consider restructuring his remaining contract to shorten the number of years and with increased performance incentives.
2. Demand a house cleaning at OC and DC. Since Gundy has been guided by what is easiest for him and blinded by his loyalty, unable to see what the rest of the world sees: the two Coordinators are horrible and too toxic to remain. This is nonnegotiable! Our best years only happened because Boone held Gundy accountable and forced his hand to relinquish OC duties. The result was our two best OCs ever and the foundation upon which Gundy's (false) reputation as a 'high flying gunslinger' was built. Truth is he's a stubborn, arrogant, old school conservative Pat Jones disciple which needs a kick in the arse to change because he currently has no incentive to do so.
3. Provide the requisite resources needed to go after the BEST coordinators on Power 4 Level. Gundy got lucky with Yurcich, which afforded him to the benefit of the doubt with Sean Gleeson which was a total fail. The recent defensive success of Iowa St and Gundy's overall coaching resume enabled him to sell us on the Nardo hire. @Gundy: You are now 1 for 3 on lower level hires. No more of this apprenticeship crap because you don't like to replace coordinators after getting poached. Hear that knock on Dunn and Nardo's doors? Yeah me neither. They only poach GOOD coordinators.
4. Make a run at Zach Robinson. He may have his heart set as a lifer in the NFL but you don't know unless you ask. Zach seems to check all the boxes we have in OC, HC succession plan, QB development, and fan excitement.
5. Insist the new OC and DC get to pick their support staffs and run their schemes. Hire the most qualified and let them do their jobs the way they know how to.
6. Demand recruitment at higher level. STOP with this recruiting in the mid-40's to 50's ranking. We should be recruiting at a higher level than we do. I've personally heard stories of #1 ranked OK recruit that had heart set on oSu but we hardly gave him the time of day so went elsewhere. This was a player that we would have loved to have. Probably in true Gundy fashion b/c we thought we didn't have a chance. We have a lazy coaching staff mentality when it comes to recruiting. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take and need to prioritize recruiting at higher level. Stop acting like a victim. You're not a G5 school. You've been a top 15 P4 winningest program over last decade+ but recruit nowhere near that range, so it shows how much you can achieve with less. Imagine what you could do with similar type players. Do better because long term success starts at recruiting better.

Umm, how about you better get out there in December and get to shopping in that portal heavily and get better talent!!! The portal game is almost more important than recruiting the freshman because you have to usually have to wait a couple of years for them to fully develop!!! Otherwise this is a good list!

Press conference was extremely discouraging. Mike really talked up Nardo with more, “the schemes are good, we just missed tackles.” 8 games in, 132nd in the country, and he’s praising his DC…smh. It’s apparent that Chad and Shrum are going to have to step in on this one.

And the injury excuse is in full force again, just like 2022. He apparently thinks people are too stupid to realize Collin Oliver isn’t a run stopper and don’t remember watching Arkansas, Utah, and Kstate run all over us WITH Martin on the field. Tuned into Triple play this morning the minions (RA and Dirato) were all over pushing those talking points for Gundy.

Honestly, it’s hard to get to 132nd, even with 2nd team guys and walkons. And who in there right mind is going to come play in this D? Oh, and apparently Gundy is taking an active role in the defensive room this week they say.

Schrum and Weiberg are missing three things needed to resolve the situation: cash, cojones, and desire.

Do you really think Gundy would admit that he was wrong?

 

[Newpoke]

Oh, and apparently Gundy is taking an active role in the defensive room this week they say. Good to hear since Gundy's always professed that he knows nothing about defensive football. Skattebo is going to feast this Saturday. >250 yards is my prediction.

If injuries to 2 or 3 players result in you being next to last in D, you are really walking a tightrope anyway and need to change things. That excuse doesn't make things better.

No injuries to a couple people should tank an entire season on either side of the ball. Recruit and train better so your backups are at least serviceable. If we dropped from 50 down to 65 or whatever, that would be one thing, but we were never good and now are next to last on D... That is NEVER excusable.

Gundy seems to be the only coach that can’t have success with freshman. Just sayin’
