“It’s the same thing in the NFL, right? You can see a team that’s like 4-6 play a team that may be 7-3 or 9-1 or something, and they beat them, and you’re like, ‘How does that happen?’ Well, there’s parity in that league”

Maybe there’s parity across the Big 12 with all the other teams excluding OSU. Gundy didn’t prove it last season, and it’s looking like he won’t this season either.

“You can’t predict anything.”

UCLA and Virginia Tech were able to. Florida and Oklahoma State are next. The next guy might be worse, but it’ll be one step closer to our next Gundy. That’s a better spot than our current position. I understand it’ll be a tough pill to swallow for a fanbase with a 20 year coach, but that’s the reality of the CFB world. The best don’t sit around. We laugh at A&M, Auburn, LSU, Florida, etc with their buyouts and coaching carousel, but that is the only method that works.

I agree for the most part. The idea of “well we might get someone worse” is absurd to me. You also may get someone better. You know what you have in Gundy and currently, its not good. You very rarely FIRE the wrong guy. Its hiring the wrong guy that gets programs in trouble. So I have no doubt that if/when OSU moves on from Gundy that it will be the right move. But its who they hire is what determines the future. I personally think who they hire is secondary to how they decide to approach the future in the NIL/portal era. The people on here that act like OSU cant win simply due to NIL is a lazy excuse. The only programs within the Big 12 that has MORE NIL backing than OSU is Texas Tech and BYU. OSU is on par with the rest of the league.

Hey champ,

You still think Kayse Shrum got fired for supporting Gundy or something, so it can be inside information or widely publicized, couldn’t-be-more-outside information and you still don’t have it somehow.

Yea well within the B12 I don’t think NIL is insurmountable for OSU i.e. we can complete in the B12 in this modern version of college football. The problem I have is the severe disadvantage that we have compared to some teams outside of the B12. This matters to those fans that want to see OSU compete with teams from the B10 and SEC for playoff berths and nattys

We’re more worried about winning the conference first. So let’s try to start there first :+1:.
