Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. Colorado

[ashpkt]

Trying hard to remember the last time we had our asses kicked this badly.

Really have no words for this colossal failure of a season.

Last year in Orlando. The year before that in Manhattan. It's become an annual thing

Deion Imade on the postgame blaming weather…LOL

Weiberg: “Mike, we aren’t auto renewing your contract. So we owe you 7.5m (or more) per year for the next five years. Or we can pay you $25m to leave now, but we can’t afford that. So please do a bang up job and get better and let’s hope when you recruit, the players won’t care about a HC change in the future. How does that sound?”

Gundawg: “Let me do some Midwest City math………Uhhhh, no.”

Please elaborate on this “scenario” where Gundy thinks it’s in his best interest to take anything less than $25m now or $37.5m over the next five years.

It happens all the time in all kinds of situations. Coaches or CEOs or whoever take a buyout.

I'm not saying that will happen here. You are probably right. But people do take buyouts.

I also think his generation of head coaches is going to really thin out in the next 5 years. Whittingham is mulling it over, for one. Hell, Stoops did it 5 years ago.

If I were an aspiring young coach I’d be looking at a career in the NFL. Who wants to deal with the structure of the college system today?

But also... If you're an aspiring coach, you probably don't know much different at this point, and it's easier to accept / embrace it (reference coach Lutz's attitude towards it).

No doubt, but there are great young coaches in the NCAA. It is a proving ground for advancement.

RA telling an OSU athlete in the post game interview he is a Heisman voter and he is voting for Hunter, a member of the team that just whipped your a$$- is vintage RA. He is such an idiot.

Cringe.

At least he’s just the sideline guy, as opposed to Toby Rowland-who’s a first rate clown.

I’m starting to see your point. Especially on the tail of arguably worst season ever in OSU football history.

The leverage for OSU is to allow HCMG a path out of having to deal with firing and hiring coordinators and deal with portal, both of which by all accountants he is loathe to do.

That said, we act like OSU has $10-15m laying around like ashtray money. I have no idea about any of that. Can anybody speak to that?
Someone accurately made the point, but a steep decline in ticket sales quickly starts costing more than a buyout at some point. Additionally, I’ve got no idea how much “donor money” outside of ticket sales flows into OSU athletics. I gotta think those people would be consulted as well in this mess.

Always, always costs more to wait. We saw this with the bb program, twice!

I will concede that this may be disappointment talking but I feel like the football program is being held for ransom. When Gundy gets his $25M buyout he will hand it over on his way to the bank and we can move on.

Maybe someone suggest he take a pay cut from his exorbitant 8M salary.

Of course it is. Gundy is a greedy and arrogant

What a walking, talking PR disaster, my god

Simply put, he is a complete moron. NIL started in mid-2021. As Sandite hinted at, the horse left the barn long ago coach.

People don’t resist change. They resist being changed. I think Mike falls squarely in this camp and it has/will continue to hurt the program until he comes to that realization.

 

[CptnQuirk]

Gundy has lost it. He has become complacent. This team won’t be making a bowl game for a long time and probably not under gundy again.

He needs to be FIRED

Do you have the money to pay his buyout?
