OSU Bullets • The Pokes added a commitment from a juco defender last night – a couple of other recruiting updates: OSU made the top two for another quality junior college prospect and offered a player previously committed to Tulsa (PFB) • Previewing the Colorado/OSU game on Black Friday (HCS) • Bill Haisten had some good clarifying thoughts on Mike Gundy’s controversial presser earlier this month – this quote from Mike Gundy is something hard to argue with after just one down year: “I’m hungrier than ever. I ain’t going out this way,” the 57-year-old Gundy said. “There’s a zero chance of that happening, unless they fire me. There’s one person who knows how to fix this, and that’s me. I can promise you that. [TulsaWorld] • Ollie Gordon hit 20+ mph on Saturday – isn’t it crazy how easy he makes it look? (X) Tyreek Hill’s charges against him…
He’s hungrier than ever and yet somehow during his Colorado presser he also said that he hasn’t even watch Maui Smith’s film from the Tech game yet.
If Gundy is the one guy who knows how to fix this, then why hasn’t he?
“There’s one person who knows how to fix this, and that’s me. I can promise you that.”
Good, locked-in coaches don’t have seasons like this in year 20. Burnt out coaches that have lost a step do.
This year was our chance to establish ourselves as top dog in the new Big XII. We didn’t win a game. (I know, we haven’t lost to Colorado yet, but come on. They’re gonna drop 70 on us.)
If he’s so hellfire good at this, why hasn’t he been able to duplicate 2011? Or win a second conference title? Get outta here, man. He has no clue how to fix this because I don’t think he even knows how it happened. If he doesn’t find two new coordinators then this man is not serious.
This wasn’t “one bad season” - this was one of the worst seasons in OSU Football history, and that’s saying something. All engineered by our GOAT coach in year 20. And he doesn’t even seem to care!
If he’d simply say that he hears and understands fans’ frustration and disappointment this would be a whole different animal. If he’d say that he’s also pissed off, that would go miles. But he acts like it’s all good.
It’s a joke. It’s disrespectful. It’s insulting. It’s tone deaf.
I get that it’s tough to turn things around mid-season. Fine. But you mean to tell me he didn’t see this coming? If he couldn’t, that’s damning. If he did, he was either unable or unwilling to head it off. That’s even more damning.
I’m not accusing you of defending Gundy.
