We’re heading towards 2 consecutive winless conference seasons and now what, 1-12 against our last FBS opponents? It’s already at that point.Sure - but it means we need to absolutely smash the next hire. Otherwise, we’re looking at the 90’s-early 2000’s in football and everything since Eddie left in basketball.
That’s why I say it can get worse.
I agree about Arbuckle but Weeden doesn’t want to coach.I think what we do is hire arbuckle or someone like him. Have him train Brandon weeden if willing and let him be head coach in waiting
Btw, UCLA fired Foster today.
What you’re expressing is simply fear of the unknown, while genuflecting that keeping some semblance of the status quo will somehow be better.
$hitting in one hand & hoping in the other.
Correct Captain Obvious, nobody disagrees that it needs to be a great hire. It would be a great problem to have TF’s initial success with this hire and other schools wanting him.I want him gone. I don’t give a shit about the unknown, what we know is worse. What I do give a shit about is another Travis Ford/Mike Boynton situation where we spend the next 10-15 years floundering in the one sport that must pay the bills. Basically going back to who we were in the 90’s-early 2000’s.
The replacement has to be a grand slam. Has to energize everything about Oklahoma State. It’s a mission critical hire. Which was my one and only point but somehow you’ve tied it to unrelated bullshit with some imaginary hang up with Mike Gundy.
GTFOH with that “genuflecting” nonsense.
Agreed, and that’s why the page needs turned ASAP in terms of our intention to make changes and the best targets identified and pursued.The next round of conference realignment may very well be under this next coach's tenure so it's absolutely critical to get this hire right and the course corrected pronto. We can't afford to be irrelevant when the next realignment occurs.
True. I’ve heard plenty of discussion the last two years about this exact thing.I’m still going to maintain that a GM position is more important than coach.
GM job takes ownership of roster building and NIL operations. You get a commercial guy for NIL and then elite recruiting coordinator to both sit under the GM.
Coach won’t make a difference if we can’t attract players.
You took the time and effort to click “post reply” Typed a completely unrelated reply to my post. Asserted that I’m bowing down to Gundy and am afraid to lose him. Neither of which are true.Correct Captain Obvious, nobody disagrees that it needs to be a great hire. It would be a great problem to have TF’s initial success with this hire and other schools wanting him.
We’re already witnessing the ‘floundering’ and are 10% of the way to your 20 years.
