Hey champ,
I wouldn’t throw stones in a glass house… about everything you just said, actually.
You’re right. What’s even worse is when you throw stones with no protection whatsoever.
Don’t be mad cause you’re bald jug Get you a rug 
You never explained why you aren’t making 5 million a year if you are so knowledgeable about football ? Anyone can criticize, and be a peon and never pay for spewing your garbage
Why is Matt 90-66 ? Oh just for your feedbag here’s S I top coaches in the B12 not that they are any smarter than you.
Hey champ,
Did the BoR pull off some amazing transformation despite Gundy or is it the same ol’ program because of Gundy? You bounce back and forth on a post-by-post basis. When you only have three thoughts and two of them disagree with each other, that is quite a feat.
I can map out your whole thought process. A thing happens at OSU. Your immediate thought is how you can then complain about Mike Gundy:
Good thing about a non-football program: Blame Gundy for football not having the same good thing (whether it’s true or not).
Bad thing about a non-football program:
Say Gundy couldn’t do better or try to equivocste and say it’s the same as Gundy.
Good thing happens to football:
The BoR did it against Gundy’s will.
Bad thing happens in football:
Gundy did it solely.
Good thing happens at another school:
This is what real coaching looks like.
Bad thing happens at another school:
Find something else they did that makes them better than Gundy.
War with Iran:
Gundy is a warmonger.
No war with Iran:
Gundy is going to let Iran get nukes.

When you’re the longest tenured head coach in the Big 12 you’ll obviously be thought of as one of the best in the conference. So tell me what happened last season then?
I’ve been waiting on an answer for months which you’ve avoided and haven’t been able to explain. How does a team that returns the most starters in the conference go 0-9? Please name me a coach within the last decade that’s been able to accomplish that? I’ll be waiting 
.
Do me a favor. Convince that we wouldn’t still have some of these people on the football staff if the BoR didn’t get involved? I’ll bet you can’t.
Like what exactly? You’re complaining and putting words in my mouth, but not giving any specific examples.
Yep….just another typical rant with no specific facts or evidence to back up the claims . Thanks for proving my point.
Longest tenured does mean squat if you don’t have wins I explained to you some of what happened last year but you had to ask again. Most 21 year head coaches of P4 teams have more than 1 losing season by the way. Tell me why he’s picked No 1 as head coaches in the B12
Matt ( your hero) was almost as bad in 21 and his record is 90-66. Hardly killing it
Hey champ,
Have some self-awareness and I won’t have to log your TDS outbreaks.
And speaking of your TDS, you’re probably right that I can’t convince you of anything because, as the point of my post was, you want to believe the worst. I think any reasonable person could be convinced that after a catastrophic season where you’re predicted to finish 3rd and some have you vying for the title and you go winless in conference instead, that the coach is going to fire people. There were no positives from 2024. Dunn was done regardless. Nardo was going to be done. Would there have been a complete staff overhaul? I don’t know, but I also don’t know if a total overhaul was a good idea. We had good assistant coaches that produced leading rushers and developed excellent edge rushers and linebackers. A more surgical approach may have been better.

And yet you’re ignoring the fact that since 2018 Matt has been equal in Big 12 title appearances, NY6 bowls, and has more conference wins than Gundy since. Also ignoring the fact that Matt has only been at Iowa State since 2016 
. Also, ignoring the fact Matt doesn’t have any financial commitments from an alum billionaire .
I would hope that Gundy would win more than Matt considering he was placed in a better overall program and given millions of dollars to succeed when he first started . You also lied about 2021. Matt didn’t go 3-9 like Gundy did. He still made a bowl game genius.
Here’s a better idea. I’ll ask the question then. You give me a no sh** honest answer. If the BoR didn’t get involved. Would either Dickey, Nardo, or Dunn still be around?
Except that wasn’t the question I asked. I asked a specific question. If the BoR had not been involved, would Gundy still had retained one of those coaches? You’re giving a general statement and not answering directly.
Dunn was our OC for five seasons. Only one single time he had a top 50 offense (46th in 2021). Yet, we held onto him despite is incompetence in 2022 and his laziness through the first part of 2023. Not to mention his insane first half struggles he had throughout his career. Tell me what else you need to see over four years to figure out he’s not what you need?
You keep trying to defend the notion that Gundy knows what’s best for the program. When the results from last season have proven otherwise. When you refuse to hit the portal hard, recruit in the 40’s and 50’s, and hire unproven coaching. Then eventually the top brass needs to come in and put their boots on your throat. When a program like IOWA FREAKING STATE is either equal to or surpassing you in a lot of categories it’s time to take action.
Hey champ,
I was saying–multiple times during the season–they would probably all be gone before the offseason drama hit, so probably not, no. This is your TDS sparking up. I don’t think anyone thought they were coming back, but you want to retcon everything to make it seem like Gundy was gung ho to bring everyone back.
Gundy wasn’t going to clean house until he was made.

Hey champ,
What is “cleaning house”? Firing every assistant. It might be ok, but don’t know that that was a good idea.
We held onto Dunn for five years and Dickey (who was worse) for six years. Inconsistent and incompetent half the time. So you’re going to try and convince me after all of those factors that Gundy was going to cut them all loose? No reasonable coach is going to wait that long. I’ll tell you what Gundy did do though. He fired Richmond (who sent two guys to the NFL) and hired a dude from Indiana who didn’t have an issue with teams racking up 250-300 yards rushing on us .
I said Matt was ALMOST as bad going 6-6 in the regular season I didn’t say as bad. Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit is it Who is putting millions into the football program. We were almost dead last in NIL You want to see millions go to Tech and look
Tell me who is pumping millions into the football program. ? I’ll wait. And don’t bring back Boone whose contribution brought the facilities up to more than most , everyone has caught back up. I want the name of our millionaire who’s doing it.
You say Matt was put in a worse situation than Gundy ? When Gundy took over out overall record was way below .500 , we ard now far above that. You just talk out your asz and spew pure garbage because Gundy stole your gf way back , something warped your pea size brain
Yea….that implies something completely different. Don’t try and tell me about reading comprehension when you can’t articulate what you want to post . 7-6 is very different from 3-9 genius. Now tell me which billionaire was donating millions to Campbell like Boone did with Gundy when he first started? I’m going to bring it up because it’s a fact. Something you can’t hardly stand because it doesn’t meet your defense agenda.
Before Gundy took over OSU was 438-456 (49%). Iowa state was 492-623 (44%). So no, OSU was not “way below” a .500 record as a program. Another fact you’re wrong about yet again . So yes, Matt was definitely is a worse situation. Maybe take some time to actually research before posting. You might have a dog in the hunt if you would actually take some of my advice.
I gave you facts because you were completely wrong. So who’s the one actually talking out of their asz here?
Hey champ,
Dunn oversaw the team with two conference championship appearances and a Fiesta Bowl win (in which the offense had to pull off some amazing heroics). Yes, I get that the numbers weren’t great, but the team as a whole was working. Dickey was there when we had two different nation-leading rushers, one of whom won the Doak Walker. Obviously, the offense had problems, the offensive line had problems, but the highs (competing for conference titles, NY6 bowl, individual honors) were higher than the lows (being an average team). Once you have a season like last season, that’s no longer true. It was unlikely Dunn, Nardo, Dickey, or Rattay were going to stick around after that.
Okay, so where’s the consistency at on offense? Are we going to decide to score 7 points or 3 points (like against SA and UCF)? You’re right. We had two championship appearances that we LOST. I can’t blame him much for 2023. However, he was one of the main problems as to why we lost to Baylor in 2021.
He literally gave them a blueprint for what he was going to do. His first half inconsistencies also kept us out of a lot of games we could’ve won. Like scoring 3 points against Baylor in 2021. If you ever want to win a conference title again you can’t have predictability, slow first half starts, and slow starts in the first 4-6 games of the season. Notice how in 2024 there was nothing to mask his incompetence and inconsistency that most reasonable people already noticed.
They weren’t going to stick around because the BoR weren’t going to allow Gundy to let them stick around. It doesn’t take 5 years to figure out if an assistant should still be around or not. You also ignored the fact how I mentioned Gundy actually fired a guy doing a decent job and traded him for one of the worst hires in the nation. That doesn’t sound like it’s in the best interest of the program if you ask me.
Below .500 is below no matter how much it is. I see you didn’t post our win percentage now.
compared to Gundy starting did you.
I’m still waiting on the family that is pumping millions into our program ?? Givd me a name!!! Boone money has been infrastructure. Made this a nice place to play
Now give me the name of who’s throwing millions into the program now This is about the 3rd time I’ve asked you. Infrastructure does win ball games. Matt still has a losing record agains Matt too. You measure championships as your standard Matt has never won the B12. How many losing seasons has Matt had
How has Iowa St played a hundred more games than us. You kind of skewed the numbers there didn’t you Joe You always cheat or lie trying to make your point The only facts you put out you dig up thst aren’t relevant to the conversation. You should try to make a friend so you aren’t heart broken about Gundys record. GDS is what you have. I’ll ask ond mord time that if you know football why aren’t you making 5 million coaching ? And name our millionaire donor ?
