Free Football Thread That Started as a Thing about Mike Gundy

No one has ever made the playoffs recruiting as low as Gundy is.

Anyone say they have ?

Nice to know that isn’t one of your goals for the program.

He finished top 3 in Big12 recruiting, per 247, for the first time ever. The average player rating that you cited is also a top 2/3 (don’t remember exactly) in his career as a coach. His recruiting is getting BETTER, but you just want to hate.

Alot of those teams need 5 to 7 players.

  1. So they will have less players.
  2. Not much of a chance off get good players since they r signed.
  3. Hope they find portal players.
    So those ave will go down if they get players at all.
    Ur really good at seeing numbers at using them if they fit ur agenda.
    Just like u say we didnt finish 3rd u can’t say we didnt finish 3rd. Cant have it both ways
    And for some reason we still have a player on their that never played for us. If they put the rite #'s r ave be closer to tcu

So 7th on the average player rating is good even improvement. So if we slipped just a little say to 10th next year, that should still be alright. Recruiting don’t mean anything if you’re not competing for a conference title anyway. I mean we should just let Gundy do what ever cause he built this program so it’s his to destroy or what ever he wants.

Still going on about 5 star recruits we need​:upside_down_face::innocent::crazy_face::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::money_mouth_face::cowboy_hat_face:
I’ve explained how this works out , but I know ur math isn’t that good. I mean u cant keep columns straight.
But trust us we fine in Gundy’s hand

The University that I went to preached to be elite, excel, and strive to overcome any obstacles in the way.

I’m glad I didn’t go to the University of good enough, settle, we’re better than 30 years ago. Stillwater not the kind of place students want to go to. Everyone else cheats so you can’t win.

Glad we got that straight. U need to start a cult for great people :upside_down_face::joy::wink::innocent::crazy_face::exploding_head::cowboy_hat_face:

Ok serious question, do you really think that Gundy does not try to do the things you mention: Be elite, excel, and strive to overcome obstacles?

My comments were to all the supporters of Gundy. I would not say he isn’t trying to do those things but 16 years tells me that his recruiting and game plan against OU and Baylor over the last decade are not going to magically improve. I wouldn’t say any coach we have had in the past wasn’t trying to do everything in their power to get better but we have fired several. I believe the only reason the coaches of the past were fired is because they couldn’t take the program were we want it to go. But now I feel there are several that believe the program can’t get any better.
You tell me you haven’t seen the ones that claim recruiting can’t get better because of Stillwater and it’s location. Or we can’t do better because a good coach will never come to Stillwater.

I am saying we can’t do better until we close the massive money gap between us and the top programs. Our athletic budget ranks at 45, which is 7th in the conference. We don’t have the money to get and keep the great coaches you seem to covet. Thus I am happy with Gundy since he does more with less.

I’ll put you down as good enough.

You can’t pound that in their thick heads I’ll promise you. They think money growing a money tree we have hidden away :crazy_face::crazy_face::cowboy_hat_face:

Ar0 and the gang thinks u get a list of players and go talk to the mom and dad.

Y’all keep talking about money and we can’t afford a great coach. At one time Gundy was in the top ten highest paid coach in the nation. Where are they going to go if we can pay in the top ten? Holder said if Gundy needs something for recruiting all he has to do is ask.

At one time we also finished the season in the top 10, what does that have anything to do with the way things are right now. We are not talking about back then but right now. Right now Gundy is not even a top 25 paid coach. It would take significant money to go get a top 10 coach right now. Also Holder only said that about recruiting in the last year and guess what, our recruiting class got better after that happened. Betting as long as that money keeps flowing things will keep getting better on the recruiting front as well. Pay attention to Fridays announcement and look at the one we got last week as evidence.

They believe any young coach can being brought in to do better.
I think Gundy has got more career assistant. That will help keep coaches and recruit.

Can’t wait to see this great recruiting miracle you speak of. Let me know when you are willing to put money down on winning Bedlam or the conference.
