Coach Gundy

[mugatu]

Why buy him out, he crashed and totaled just like Eddie did, there’s the door

Do they have "cause" to be able to avoid a buyout? Would those kinds of comments hold up to that, or at least provide a place to negotiate it WAY down.

Completely agree. That’s just ignorance on my part. I just assumed that’s how it works if you want to fire a coach for something other than committing a felony.

If you can’t fire him, suspend his ass. Make him want to quit. Force him to fire everyone and take away his control over hiring the replacements.

Exactly. He's gotta be nearing a point where there is legitimate cause.

They have cause. Its beCAUSE we hate him. (Couldnt find the GIF. I'm really disappointed)

Will we be seeing this look in the future at Boone Pickens Stadium.

Maybe that's why Kendal Daniels is still on the field sauntering after players instead of sitting on the bench. It's another sabotage

You may be on to something.

What is the buyout number?

$25.36M

$25.36M

So in 2021, he made $4.2 mil, the next year they jumped him all the way to $7.5 mil. Since then we have sucked. Seems like we aren't getting our money's worth on that contract negotiation. If anyone on here was given a 79% raise and returned worse performance, they'd be gone already (but who else would never get that kind of raise).

Has his house sold yet or is it still on the market? Another example that maybe he doesn't want to keep going.

Whatever we end up negotiating it to be. But he’s not getting fired over this so it’s moot.

I considered the drive across town on Saturday to exactly that.

With a a sign that said:

“I paid for the car and gas to get here, paid for tickets. Family can’t eat though so I’ll be quiet Coach.”

So do we even get a non-genuine apology or statement by the university, or is it just an ignore it and they'll calm down approach?

So how many of "Them Boys From Oklahoma " concerts do we need to have?

I would expect to see something before eod tomorrow, it it’s going to happen. No - I don’t believe it will be “genuine.”

Extremely possible they attempt to let this die off on its own.

Yeah. I see something that will resemble when mom tells you to apologize to your brother.

I'm betting on the "ignore it and they'll eventually forget" approach. It's worked countless times in the past for all of them. Why not this time?

I could see that depending on how personally the boosters took it.

 

[milehighpoke]

There is a 0% chance Gundy apologizes, lol. IF he says anything, it will be along the lines of "Sorry you snowflakes got offended, lulz."

I wouldn't be more shocked if I woke up with my face superglued to the carpet.

 

[TXPoke]

The Ticket in Dallas just ran a segment on Gundy’s press conference. Don’t usually get OSU coverage down here.

Interesting tidbit was them questioning how attractive of a job an OSU HC vacancy would be.

He isn’t going anywhere, you are correct! I still say I am beginning to think Wieberg and Shrum just shrug their shoulders over this stuff until you see it really effect the bottom line via lots of empty seats and unsold tickets, and a downward trend in donations coming in!
