We had no faith in the coaching. Watch the next coach come in and win the conference within four years.
Hey champ,
I hope youâre right, but I think history would say heâs more likely to be fired in 4 years.

Maybe you should go read what Weiberg said. Weâre further along the financial spectrum. Iâm sure he has a little more inside information on the subject at hand than perhaps you do. You certainly wonât be complaining if you get your 7-6 consistency you seek to be content on.
And if he doesnât are you going to be calling for him to be fired?

It took Gundy six seasons before he won the conference. I figured in a conference without OU and Texas four years seems like a fair number. If our NIL is on par with most teams in the conference then yes.
My expectations are to win the conference every 3 years or so and make the CFP. Not just go 7-6 with a regular bowl win and call it great. That might be good enough for some people, not me.
This is a prime opportunity for OSU football win a watered down conference and make the CFP. That in in itself will lead to more investment and accolades in the football program. Becoming the next Kansas of old and losing at home to a bad G5 team for the first time in 74 years wonât.

And then you think weâre going to go to the CFP and kick ass. Not going happen. Do you have any idea when was the last time a team won a National Championship that had never won it before? Weâre going to be the next Clemson, no weâre not. You wish and dream all you want, there is no National title in the future. I have to disappoint you again, we are not going to win conference every 3 years just because you expect it. What advantages does OSU have on the other 15 schools in the B12?
The answer to first question is Florida in 1996, almost 30 years ago and now a team will have to win 3-4 games against top competition to join that club. You can dream all you want, but eventually youâll realize that YOU are to blame for your own expectations.

Hey champ,
Heâs going to make excuses for him until heâs fired a la Mike Boynton.

I agree we are not winning the conference every 3 years but I am ready to win the conference more than once in 20+ years. Second, we donât have an advantage over the other 15 schools in the Big 12 but as of today we donât have one of the disadvantages.

I just want to say how much more respect I have for Chad in the way he has handled this and hope he continues to show that he is determined to make this successful.

I thought we were behind Texas Tech and BYU in NIL.
As well, most teams we are comparable to -not a huge advantage, not a huge disadvantage so then why would OSU fans think we are to win the conference every 3 years? I think the B12 will have more parity than in the past with these schools most likely to win the titles.
Arizona St
Baylor
Texas Tech
Iowa St
TCU
Utah
BYU?
Kansas St
So why would we win the title every 3 years? This post is really more directed at Bill. Yes I would like to win the title more often than 1/20, but I think a reality check would be more like 1/6 to 1/8, now we could get on a roll now and then and surpass that but, I really just see Bill wanting to fire the next coach because of his own unrealistic expectations.
NIL is completely unreported and impossible to track, so no one really knows, but itâs safe to assume we are behind Tech. And Mormon money is a real thing, so BYU seems like a safe bet too.
I was surprised by Chadâs comments today about resources. It was a very different tone than what others have suggested - basically that if OSU isnât successful it wonât be because of a lack of money.
As a fan I think itâs great to have high expectations. Thatâs not Billâs issue. His main issue is that he likes to speak just to hear himself talk. Ironically, he shares this issue with his arch nemesis, Champ.

go all in on Monken, Experience and connections with Georgia. He knows what it takes in this era.That is something money could afford to buy. We could pay more than the Ravens. Entice him. Keep him till he retires, in the process have him find someone whoâs ready in waiting.

I donât see why it matters to you. If we go 7-6 and you like consistency then so be it. Youâll be satisfied. If we go 11-2 and make the CFP while winning the conference I will be satisfied. However, I would seriously doubt neither you or I would be satisfied becoming the new Kansas of old. Which is exactly the direction we were heading by holding onto Gundy and his senior citizen coaching staff.
Also, who the hell said anything about a National Championship? First prove to me you can win the conference more than once every 25 years. I donât expect a coach who canât win a conference game without BB schools to win a National Title.
Rich considering it comes from the guy whoâs been wrong about everything for over the last 365 days.
See Bill this where you go sideways. I never said what would make me happy. However, you are not going to be happy unless youâre expectations of winning conference titles every 3 years is met. I am much more realistic than you. So OSU will win 1/3 of the titles and the other 15 teams will split up the other 2/3 of championships. One thing, all the other teams want those titles as wellâŚ.

Youâre right. Everyone else except our previous HC and part of our fans. Luckily for people like me. We have an administration now thatâs serious about not just becoming bowl eligible.
Were you looking forward to it before this?

It sucks it ended this way, but Mike Gundy is unquestionably the GOAT HC in OSU history. Iâm not happy about firing him, but I am relieved, and it was time.
He was just too slow to adapt to the new CFB landscape. Even once he âembracedâ it he wasnât happy about it. It sucks, but NIL and transfer portal werenât consistent with how Gundy and OSU had done things the first 15 years of his tenure. Gundy stuck with his guns, and thought he could swim against the current. It didnât work.
Weâve seen historic lows in the last 13 months of OSU football. Events and scores that hadnât happened in decades or even more than a century. That is not the sign of a coach figuring things out.
He has my respect, and my gratitude, but no one stays on top forever.

I donât how many times a guy needs to go into a post-game presser and tell his base âI was outcoached and canât do my job any longerâ before a person finally believes him. Heâs literally telling you what the main issue is. Maybe some of the fan base couldnât comprehend what he was saying. Looks like the administration did finally.
