Or just a cut period. I know Gundy made OSU competitive for a few years, but sticking with him means OSU is ok with mediocrity. Stoops lasted as long as he did simply because he got one natty and several conference championships plus 3 other title game appearances. If OSU wants to be on the national radar and get those good recruits they need to think about a coaching change.

Huh coaching change? We’re not talking about OSU . OU is fine on coaching as you would be very very hard pressed to get better! Lincoln knows his **** and has an impressive resume.

I was the one complaining about the kicker that would probably get to play and Riley made the right decision not to let him play and got a lot of respect in my book. They played a good game yesterday and won. I hope they do well in postseason.

You've already expressed your respect for Riley on that kicker situation and not that it probably matters too much but you have my respect in doing so.

I could rant about Gundy for days. 13-2 vs OU is pathetic. Les Miles was 2-2 and Bob Simmons was 2-3 and I remember sitting in the stands as Simmons was booed and his kid was booed each time he sent him on the field. I can't believe those that worship at the alter of Gundy aren't in here bashing @Tanis143 yet. I have followed Ok State football for a long time. I quit following it and watching every game a few years ago. Gundy's ego is out of control and he hasn't lived up to what he is being paid. Last year was almost a 5-7 season with no bowl game. This year wasn't much better. I said at the beginning of this season I thought they were in a down turn. I still believe it. This was another season that could have ended up even worse. Instead he plays 3 crap teams and gets 3 wins in conference from the bottom dwellers. Then off to the who cares bowl. To play a 6-6 team. Gundy is on the fast track to turning into Pat Jones. Just win enough to get a crap bowl and people will be happy.

I also think its an insult to OU to say that the rivalry game is a great game. That's like saying Amelia Molitor vs Joe Mixon was a great fight. OU is a power house with history. They have 89-18 win record vs Ok State. OK state had a couple good seasons as the Big 12 was in decline and the Power house schools in the big 12 were having some down years. It drives me nuts each time OU smashes Ok State in a game then OK state fans go strait to to OU fans are the worst fans and so rude. Followed by OSU has more golf national championships. NO one gives a sh#t about golf championships or wrestling especially when talking about football. The same old tired arguments as far back as I can remember. The OSU sports forums are so full of guys drinking spiked coolaid. Its just really sad that people are okay with what they are being fed. The cash cow has died and the train has left the station but they will continue to let the mulleted moron be the mayor in mediocre town.

Funny story about the Gundy's. My dad arrested one of them for public intox when he was on Norman PD. My dad told me a few stories about both brothers.

I don't get the hate for Gundy from within the OSU fan base. He has the best winning percentage of any OSU coach in the modern area, and he's second overall among Pokes coaches--and he's 28th among active coaches. Yeah, this year and last weren't awesome, but the year before was a ten-win season, as was the year before that. Percentage-wise, Miles and Simmons had better records against OU, but Simmons was going against OU during a bad slump, and it's likely that Miles would've had a worse record if he hadn't bailed for LSU after four seasons.

So here's the $64 question: if you get rid of Gundy, who are you going to get who is better and won't bail when one of the big programs offers him a job?
