Gundy Not in Trouble….restructuring

Serious question-when has a coach in waiting worked?

Have to wonder how the administration feels. Sign his new deal on 10/4-having his back & showing a vote of confidence, then he makes those remarks a few weeks later. Then a clearly forced apology.

This has been brewing for weeks.

I agree with those asking WTH?

Why did he get a new deal in Oct? What was the purpose of it, what changed?

I believe in October 2021 is when the new contract was signed, according to BOR minutes, therefore that would be the yearly anniversary.

I thought it was in 2021 too. Until a few posts ago, I hadn't seen anything about an update this year.

I am not a big Robert Allen fan as many know but he does have an updated story on his site that somebody sent me a link to about what is going on! He posted it about 15 minutes ago! Sorry Greatful Poke, I am not deliberately trying to promote another site but this is importantly stuff!!!
 
So I have gone back and reread the contract to try and see why there was new contract signed, September by Gundy and Chad and October by Dr Shrum. It looks like something changed in Exhibit B Article 3.01e. In exhibit B is the only thing I can find about dates. Specifically Jan 1-June 30 , then July 1-December 31. Of note there is some form of retention clause on December 15, 2024

Interesting! I am curious how much Mike would be willing to put into NIL from his salary if that were reduced, maybe $1 to 1.5 million???

Is the retention clause the auto renewal? I think it had to be agreed by both sides each year.

You bet! Love or hate Robert, I think he loves OSU as well as Gundy so I think he likely has the most credibility here in this situation. Listening to his in game comments he knows changes need to be made and I believe he knows Gundy knew as well. I bet all he wants is a deal to get done and then write a scathing article about the shitshow the BOR created with this whole deal today being public when it all should have been behind closed doors. Why would they not let Gundy in the meeting this morning? Hell, they might have gotten a deal done then and we wouldn’t be the laughing stock of CFB. I am afraid to turn on ESPN and listen to whatever they are spewing.

There is something about given written notice before December if the contract is not to be renewed. The exhibit B(talent and personal services) is way above my head but it is like there was some funding changes or where funds for his contract came from.

I have edited my original post to just include the picture of the verbiage below. The contract is broken into 2 parts. The OSU employee contract part, compensated 500k, then the Exhibit B part which is where the big money is.

Yeah, you’re lost it in the first sentence with ‘most credibility in this situation’, but I don’t know you, maybe you weren’t around with the Les Miles situation.

Robert is the local Homer whose bread is buttered by the local coach using him as an outlet, at the coaches’ discretion. Gundy will feed him what he thinks is useful for his position, period, & Robert will tow the line accordingly.

It’s a transactional relationship, & Gundy always has all the leverage and they both know it. Just like the time RA’s signing day show at Chris’ University Spirit was all set for Gundy’s usual appearance and he threatened not to appear over something RA said that he didn’t like.

Talks Ongoing as Gundy, Shrum and Weiberg Work Toward to Getting Deal Done

The latest news is progress made and the talks continuing to reach a new contract for Gundy.

Maybe they can get something done and the moronic BOR can go crawl in a hole.

Very interesting. Seems like Shrum and Weiberg were similarly taken back by the sudden and wild actions by the BOR, which I can totally understand. Seems like someone or someones on the BOR are working to push Gundy out, even if unfairly.
