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?

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.
Has there ever been a rule change as unprecedented at the new NIL? But just recently - Florida State.

Wisconsin is the only one close, & our programs share a pretty similar history over the last couple of decades. Difference being that they hired Fickell-who was considered a home run at the time. For whatever reasons, it’s been a disaster.
Clemson is knocking on the door
Their falloff is without a doubt bigger.

They are already turning their program around this year and they’re not getting beat by 40 and 50 points so to compare our situation to Clemson is unfair to Clemson!
They won their conference and went to the CFP less than a year ago.
They were clearly over ranked this year, but they’re nowhere close to going 4-20 over a couple of years.

I’m not sure they’re quite at our level of bad, but that’s a good comparison.
We were nowhere close to the top of the mountain either………not even in 2021.

This is a head scratcher. How can a guy have such success at Cincinnada and crash and burn at Wisconsin?
He’s the 3rd coach since Alvarez in Madison to go down this road.
Paul Crist posted like 5 10 win seasons and they perennially won the B1G west.
I think Alvarez is the AD
Reminds me of Nebraska-a lot.
They’d have given an arm & leg to get back to those 9 win seasons under Solich & Pelini.
Whether it’s as Birry or this handle, you’re still an unapologetic dipsh!t. I guess I’m happy for you because your second birthday happened when Gundy got fired, but here we are: no closer to success and now leaderless.
Congratulations, dumbass.
Bro, it's wild that you're this emotional and bitter about a rich guy losing his job. I'm actually surprised you didn't dress up as a Shaman and storm the athletic department. Such is your devotion.
To address the content of your rant; I didn't celebrate Gundy's firing. It was a sad day for OSU. Sure, it needed to happen, and should have happened earlier, but it was a somber, heavy day as an OSU fan.
Take care.
