Gundy had been butting heads with insiders for years. It was somewhat public that he and Mike Holder did not get along and that he was not friendly with Boone Pickens in his later years. Rumors have swirled for years that he had lost the trust of some of the regents and some of the donors. After last season there was a regents meeting where Weiburg and then President Shrum clearly took up for him and left the meeting looking despondent despite saving his job. More rumors came out that he was not getting along with even his own coaching staff. The last two abortions of games were clearly the last straw with the remaining regents and donors. Basically, it sounds like he's been sort of an ass behind closed doors for years and winning is what kept his job. The results the last two years have not been bad, they've been attrocious, completely noncompetitive. It was time to move forward with there no longer being a rift of Gundy supporters and detractors. Even those who still like him know it's time for a change. Hopefully we can start anew this offseason with everyone on the same page including the donors.
