Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. Texas Christian

"Tale of two halves"

Didn't like the first 6-8 calls on offense or defense.

"Players have to take the field with energy"

"We had chances, but we turn it over."

"We don't have enough firepower to overcome mistakes"

"Defense again didn't get off the field on third down. It happens too much."

"If we had even a decent start instead of a bad start, it's a game in the 2nd half."

"I've had my ass kicked a bunch (in sports) but they need to stay off the social media, I feel their pain. The bad news is, nobody cares. They have to man up. None of that other BS."

"We're not having full practice all week. We need to refresh mentally and physically."

"I expect us to execute and play well enough to beat Texas Tech at home."

Makes an argument for BP to be All American

"He would appreciate the crowd to show up and support Brennan. If you're mad at me, ok, but support thr guys."

Note: in the press conference he was asked about his Monday comments, he said he only wanted to talk football.
Word salad clown.

Everything should start with ‘I’ to anyone with a clue.

I don’t expect us to beat Texas tech. I expect us to get our azzes kicked just like tonight.
 
Fortunately, only two games left. Perhaps heads will roll when people don’t re-up season tix.

Heads will roll and are probably already know so they have decided to not give a shiz
Hopefully all the heads are going to roll. Time for a fresh start with a whole new cast of characters from a coaching perspective. Let the new staff retain who the deem capable and build the rest.

I agree at this point but Gundy will get a mulligan which could be very unfortunate
 
I'm not generally a fan of the oklahoman or Jenni Carlson but her article is spot on.
There's a couple times in there where he's quoted as saying "I've got to only talk football". That could be a very accurate. I could easily see that as fallout from Monday. Weiburg and Shrum probably told him to cut the sh!t, he's a football coach and to just talk about football in press conferences.

This is probably accurate, but he was asked about the bowl streak. That's football. She's right about that. I have to believe that Gundy knows the house is on fire. He would have to be blind, not too. But I also believe he doesn't care. He's got the perfect situation financially, with the University handcuffed by that pathetic contract.

Or his agent or lawyer told him that his buyout is threatened by such comments... It's clear that Gundy's only real motivator was and is money after his first few seasons. He's made condescending comments about the fans, tried to leverage other job offers for raises, and made absurd comments any time legitimate criticisms are brought forth MULTIPLE TIMES IN HIS CAREER (which is insane). These are behaviors you'd expect from a scummy, greedy, lower-level employee within a large organization, not behaviors you'd expect from your CEO.

At this point, I'm concerned with the OSU Admin and AD, because they seem either out of touch or out of control of this situation. Changes need to be made, and they need to be made ASAP. Gundy is toxic, and he has been for a good, long while.

That’s just it. Changes don’t need to be made ASAP. They need to be made after the season ends. They just need to be made in a methodical well thought-out manner. It’s up to Shrum, Weiberg and the richest boosters to determine to what degree of change needs to be made. I expect Gundy to be head coach next year but a lot of other coaches will be gone.
 
20 years ago the arms race began. Kids and coaches came based on how “it” your facilities were. We know kids to a certain extent move today based mainly on NIL.

Which begs the question. At non bluebloods like OSU do coaches evaluate their options based on NIL? Get to coach at Alabama sure. But SMU vs OSU, who wins if salaries are equal?

If I were ADCW, the only way Gundy stays is if oSu cancels the auto-renewal and every position beneath him is on the chopping block; no one is protected. The new Coords get to pick their staff and run their schemes. If Gundy wants to fight that, then pursue firing him for cause. He jumped the shark this time when he took his shot at poor critical fans.

My guess on that one is he's being a passive aggressive A-hole. Taking what he was told and carrying it beyond the intent - i.e. hes acting like teenager.
