Orgeron now wants to coach again. Possibly because his ex-wife got half of his buy-out in their divorce.

Oklahoma State fires Mike Gundy
- Thread starter Bigred2467
- Start date
He's getting $15 for sitting on his *** the next couple years. Maybe he goes the Dana H. route?
Gundy played it smart. The old Callahan method. Wait it out until they fire you. Collect the cash.
gundy was a class act
Oklahoma State coaching candidates: GJ Kinne, Dana Holgorsen among options on hot board to replace Mike Gundy
After 21 seasons in Stillwater under Gundy, who will Oklahoma State turn to next?

He failed in the NIL era because Okie State no longer has the money. There is a lesson in this for NU. Ohio State won the title last year because they bought a lot of talent. Oregon is loaded for the same reason. The era of "developmental programs" is over. Unless NU is able to find that kind of cash to buy the best talent then we will continue to be a mid level B1G program. I think Daneen and Rhule know this. It is not rocket science and I am not saying anything beyond the obvious. So the only question is, do we have that kind of cash in our donor base?
We don't, and that is why our fan base needs to relax. We are going to have to be very strategic in building our team and also being good at development. We just are not going to compete at the top tier level when it comes down to money. We are not in a bad position by any means, but also not near the top due to a lack of donors.
Need some former grads to become billionaires that are as rabid as we are about football.
Just our luck that one of the richest men in the world went to NU and still lives in the state, and apparently he has no interest in donating to the school’s NIl fund.
Whatever the reasoning was, I think they dd him wrong not letting him finish out the season. It does not look good from the outside.
Things will change after this year with revenue sharing going into effect and NIL being abolished(at least legally). Everyone in theory will be capped at around $20 million. This year is screwy because the likes of TT, Oregon, OSU, USC, and Texas all double dipped before this ruling went into effect on July 1st.
Do the bagmen return? Will teams deploying the bagmen regain their "competitive advantage"?
I imagine so. Why would anyone abide by the $20 million cap if outside sources are willing to divvy out the cash.
I am sure many will continue to double dip.
I thought the $20 million was just a number that the university itself could provide, and outside sources were still unlimited?
But but...marriage!
If I him, I take the first HC gig I can get, even a non P4 job will pay him well and he can do 4-5 years and collect some great cash.
nfl pays more than college and coaches don't have to put up with recruiting b.s. so i can see why the league would be preferred. that happens for robinson, then guys like bobby petrino and jon sumrall come into play.
as for gundy, he'd be great for tv. the johnny miller of college football.
There is supposed to be a “clearinghouse” that authenticates third party NIL deals to make sure these deal are not “pay to play”. What constitutes a legitimate deal from a pay to play I do not know.
