I'm surprised Kelly didn't get fired. I guess going to the national title game a couple seasons before bought him a little time. Patterson, I think, just had a short adjustment to the Big 12. It's interesting that those two a dip and then success. I still can't think of any coaches who went on to have success (at same school) after having had the wheels completely fall off the bus. That's why the end of last season and how this season is looking is so concerning. Even Gundy fans have to realize that coaches don't recover from 2 or 3 win seasons. The administration has to realize this too. Unfortunately, that insane contract is going to hurt OSU. That's why I think it was a huge mistake to keep the automatic rollover after last season. The admin should have notified him they were stopping it. Gundy still would've had a 4 year deal. If this season was a rebound, they could always add a year back. There was no need to worry about him going somewhere else. That time has already passed.
