Very few coaches are doing their recruiting mainly withe portal. Ou had the most this year, but they lost so many. They “used” the portal to fill needs.
The only coach I have heard is going to go more portal then hs recruiting is riley. Depend on portal is even less reliable then hs. You have to have guys you want and want you. We got 4 looking for another, that’s about average.
People go off starters , not “experience”…
On the defense side there will be alot of inexperienced players. We will see some freshmen on offense.
I just would hate for you to have to see another title game this year.
You an odd duck
You know there is pressure on all coach. With all the injuries we have had the last 2 years I didn’t see gundy fold under pressure. Gundy knows what he has. You take Texas the have to not go with 5 wins. Ou is a completely different team. Dykes has like 3 wins against power 5 teams, tcu lost a ton of players off a bad team. Campbell has to rebuild after a failed year.
I can go on about pressure.
Um, you don’t give someone a raise because you’re expecting more out of them (a promotion, sure). You give someone a raise when you’re already satisfied with their quality of work and you think they’re worth more. That’s how that works. No one gives you more money (unless it comes with a promotion) and then expects you to do more. More money for Gundy does nothing to motivate or help him achieve more. More money for facilities, recruiting, assistant positions etc. do, but him having a higher contract does not. You’ve talked yourself into this idea because you want it to be true, I guess, but it makes no logical sense.
Then, the most perplexing thing is that you think Gundy is going to win the conference, but you also think he sucks and should be gone. If you expect him to win the conference, then why in the world would you want him gone? The answer is just like your other comment about Gundy using the tight end more to look good and make his son look good: you don’t actually believe it and you’re talking out of both sides of your mouth so you can criticize Gundy either way. It’s dishonest and illogical.
Is it going to take Campbell another 7 years to get his third victory against OU? Well…he probably won’t since they’re leaving the conference. Who was the only coach besides Dave Aranda to hand Gundy his other loss on the season? Amazing how a coach of a 6-6 team can beat Gundy and his almighty 12-2 team.
How do you put pressure on a coach? Give what he’s been composing about for years and say ok, here you go big boy put up or shut up. Yep that’s how you do it. Can’t do it as ny other way because he’s a Oklahoma stat guy.
I guess we should recruit better then so we don’t be to consistently rely on rebuilding then. Here come all the excuses before the season even gets started.
First of all I never said he would win the conference if you read my post so that is false secondly winnig a lot of conference games and not winning the title means absolutely nothing anymore. Gundy just can’t win the big ones. I guess you will always fall back on conference wins but that’s ok I will always fall back on winning big games
