Mike Gundy in Tennessee Orange!

should make the pokes squirm in their still half empty stadium.

Mike Gundy wouldn't even have a chance at being head coach if he wasn't an alumnus of Pokedom... something Rich Roddy should have taken into consideration when departing WVU. :rolleyes:

Gundy OWES Pokedom his success. He would not have been successful this season if it weren't for the undying love of a donor to football and his puppets at the university administration. He won't get that anywhere else.

However, the thought of the inevitable meltdown at OP.com should such a thing happen... picturing that now...

:stunned:

:(

:mad:

The progression from stunned to sad to mad will be lightning fast... where all of the sudden being a man and 40 is not battle cry, but truly a tirade.

:P Nobody can succeed in the SEC consistently. It's just how that conference works.

[Collier11]

might be a good fit

[oumartin]

I actually think Gundy is a great coach and think he would succeed there.

plus seeing the aggies cry would be priceless

[Dan Thompson]

We should post his leaving on the OSU board the week of the game.

[IB4OU2]

Do they need a man that's atleast forty?

Sorry... I know this is a Gundy thread, but I think the funny pic is related and you all deserve a laugh on Election Day :D

[OklahomaTuba]

Did he have a stroke?

Tennessee is a lateral move, doesn't make sense

"Thank you Mr. Stoops, for letting me hold your trophy. I've always wondered how much this thing weighed."

[My Opinion Matters]

Won't happen. Todd Graham is the more likely in-state candidate.

I know you're kidding, but do you think Trooper Taylor is happier where he is now, or do you think he'd like to be where he was last season?

:P You're dodging the question - is Mike Gundy staying at OSU at his alma mater, or do you have any insider's view to suggest that he might be looking to move?

1- Does his pay suck?
2- Does he need a change of scenery after 40 manly years (scuze me, 41) of Stilly?
3- Does he hate Holder, Boone and other OSU leaders?
4- Does being in Stilly hinder recruiting?
5- Are you guys about to be on probation or a postseason ban?

:P Those are the most logical reasons for moving jobs, but certainly I'm open to other reasons for leaving OSU.

[Paperclip]

Somehow I doubt it's all about money and a bigger job for Gundy. He said this was his New York Yankees job. I don't see him leaving unless/until he's asked to leave.

[stoopified]

I actually think Gundy is a great coach and think he would succeed there.

Ok bother,let me talk you down.First put down the crackpipe,and move away.After a time your senses will clear,the orange haze will be gone and you can return to the world of Crimson love and neon orange disdain.I'm pulling hard for you to make a full recovery. :)

[Widescreen]

I'd think Leach would be the more likely candidate.

[oumartin]

maybe I'm just tryin' to score with my aggie SIL! ;)

but seriously I think he is a good coach.

I do hate them with more passion than I hate Texas cuz you let them cowpukes win a couple games and they think they should be all the rage

[TexasLidig8r]

Okie Lite has a very, very good team this year.

No inside information here. I have a bad latitude, and they suspect me of being a yankee.


1- Does his pay suck? Comparatively, yes. I think he "only" makes around a million a year, though he'll surely get a raise after this year. But if he were motivated by money primarily, this would not be the season to go looking. Give the economy a few years to turnaround, and surely there will be another SEC vacancy then.


2- Does he need a change of scenery after 40 manly years (scuze me, 41) of Stilly?

I'm sure his time spent in Waco gave him a greater appreciation of Stillwater.


3- Does he hate Holder, Boone and other OSU leaders? I've heard the relationships are good.


4- Does being in Stilly hinder recruiting?

Winning helps recruiting. Period. KU has one a few on the basketball court, and Lawrence, while a fine college town, would seem to have little to offer to big-time basketball recruits.


5- Are you guys about to be on probation or a postseason ban?

Hopefully no, but I'm old enough to remember what happened last time we had a season like this.


:P Those are the most logical reasons for moving jobs, but certainly I'm open to other reasons for leaving OSU.

The inside word I've gotten is that he's waiting for Stoops to step down. Apparently, Gundy's burning desire is to be Cale's boss. ;)

[oumartin]

Heupel will prolly be Cales next boss

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Mike Gundy isn't a head coach. he's sitting over on the bench working with the offense when the defense is on the field.

OSU is a head coachless team.

I was kind of hoping for a little capsizin' action... you know, so that I could dump the 'tar early ;)

[StoopTroup]

Just heard from a very reliable source...Gundy is gone.

"Is this ball edible and does it taste like chicken?"

[My Opinion Matters]

If Tennessee had any sense at all they would offer to the job to Gary Patterson. He would be a perfect fit. He already plays SEC style football, and with great success. I suspect he's not flashy enough for those doing the hiring though.

[bluedogok]

I think Patterson is perfect at TCU, some guys are better at that type of program instead of a big program that has had some success and a fanbase that thinks they are more than what they really are....much like Franchione found out. Fran should have stayed at TCU.

[Wishboned]

Nick Saban? ;) :D

Nick Saban has said emphatically that he is happy at Alabama, and has no interest in the head coaching job at Tennessee.


I could barely type that with a straight face.

[wishbonesooner]

Gundy to Clemson

[goingoneight]

Howsaboot that FAU coach?

That's easy to say because Fran was a failure. For every coach that has left a smaller program and failed there's just as many that have succeeded.

Should Nick Saban have stayed at Toledo?
Urban Meyer at Bowling Green?

[boomermagic]

I actually think Gundy is a great coach and think he would succeed there.

I agree !
