Has anyone been fired yet?

We are on day 5. Closing in on 96 FULL HOURS since getting pounded dry by Colorado 52-0 on national TV and not a single one of these clowns has been fired. Sickening.

But hey, the good news is we’re sniping players from TU! What a coup! That’ll turn things around for sure.

Starting to look like Gundy won. He’s keeping everybody and everything so he can stay comfortable.

Well then pardon my French, but Weiberg is a p u s s y.

Really starting to look that way. The fact that the guy leading the 133/134 defense in the country survived more than 24 hours after getting stomped 52-0 is insane. The only worse defense is Kent State and they went 0-12.

That 52 is bad but that 0 is doing a lot of digging too. Gotta can them both. One won’t make a difference, whoever it is.

Technically you can win giving up 52. You cannot win scoring 0.

I can’t believe they’re going to retain this entire staff lol. They need to go after the SMU OC and Sam Houston State DC as soon as possible.

Sometimes you need an old adversary to help you get back on track. Just like in Cobra Kai:

Well past 96 hours since getting dumpstered on Friday and no one has been fired. This is a complete slap in the face to fans. If they don’t have home run hires lined up and we get some schmucks from likes of SEMO and Dallas Baptist I will lose my mind.

There’s basically 2 possibilities here:

  1. We are making zero changes and thus Gundy is on Big 12 Championship or fired next season watch. Meanwhile we watch 5000 season tickets (or more) go unsold and likely cost ourselves millions in donations.

or

  1. We’re waiting till after the portal and signing day close to announce coach firings, because we really don’t give a rip about how we treat kids these days, which would say enough about Gundy and OSU that I’ll start hoping that Weiberg follows Gundy out the door.

Waiting on the BoR is a BS reason. If you were firing the head coach, you’d easily call a special BoR session to execute it. And if you were just firing assistants, then you’ve either known this firing was coming for weeks and should have been prepared for it. If you didn’t know that firing assistants was the right path until after the CU game, then you are so unprepared as leaders that Gundy doesn’t deserve the HC title (and it would debatable if Weiberg deserves his).

Feel free to provide an alternative explaination if you have one. None of the ones above inspire even one iota of confidence in the future of OSU football.

Mike Gundy’s arrogance is killing Boone Pickens’ trees.

In other news, espn published their ranking of all 134 D1 defenses by stop rate. The good news is OSU almost made the top 100 at #105 (one slot worse than Tulsa).

However… “Sam Houston – at No. 8 overall – now has the best stop rate among all Group of 5 defenses at 73.8%. The Bearkats rode that defense to a 9-3 season in their second year of competing at the FBS level.”

If Sam Houston rings a bell, that’s where our previous D Line coach, OSU alum Greg Richmond, went after getting fired by Mike Gundy (defensive super-genius).
