I’ve been in Texas for over 30 years after coming to the University for grad school.. but grew up in OK and went to State.

Gundy used up all goodwill for his success with OSU when he survived dismissal and renegotiated his contract in the offseason. The start to this season has donors ready to revolt. Gundy was offered the chance to announce his retirement now for after the season and coach out. Not surprisingly he refused. AD believed he had to move now to save BMDs and (probably incorrectly) his own job.

I never really sat him down to ask him about any compare and contrasts, but his mom alluded to never feeling like he belonged there.  And just to cover what I’m sure some are asking right now, he’s a blond haired, blue eyed, handsome and cool kid.  I really don’t know what the problem was.

He is just too normal. Got it.

Agree with all that, I was just pulling Trophy Oak’s leg for saying it wouldn’t happen…

As long he will wear a shirt. 
 

A 50 year-old punter always wearing a tank top and trying hard to bro out like he is 25 is just embarrassing.  Saban looks like he wants to puke if you see cuts from their prep on set and in commercial breaks. 

Surprisingly, he's 38. Your point still stands.

Hmmm... I have heard a similar story, but can't remember exactly where.

I’m pretty sure Weiberg had to do it to now to keep the BMDs and therefore his job. Rumor is if he couldn’t pull it out Mike Holder was gonna be called to get it done and keep them happy. His contract expired this summer and was renewed today.

Because ex-coaches get bored and they are really full of themselves. 

Why did Tuberville run for Senate?

Why did Mack Brown take another job after 6 years of retirement?

Gundy will either enter the political sphere or be in a new job after a year or two off. 

He could sell speeches to 39 year old head coaches!

No.  

I had a very different experience on the way to Kyle (the one bad part of the trip).  One of my buddies got separated from the rest of us wandering into the game, and I'm yelling at him over the phone out front of Kyle Field, undoubtedly dropping F-bombs, when some unhinged old guy runs up to me (I'm like 23 at this point) and almost rips the phone at of my hand and starts screaming at me about how "WAY DON'T TALLK LIKE THAT IN FRUNT OF WIMMIN SUN".  I was just utterly shell shocked, and his entourage quickly peeled him away from me before I had a chance to even consider a reaction.

My buddies and I just stand there stunned, when some other guys our age run up to us and say "Y'all know who that was?  You just got your ass chewed by RC Slocum?".

Utterly surreal moment.  We found my buddy shortly after, and then he dropped an F bomb during the game, and some lady behind us grabbed a state trooper, who drug us up to the concourse and threatened to arrest us for public intox.


Everyone else was pretty cool though.

My collie station experience was as a member of the OSU marching band (NERDS!!!) and we were told to keep our equipment close because their band/corp was known to try and steal shit. The corp was later caught trying to steal the OSU flag and were confronted by the male cheerleaders who took it back from them. The corp "leader" then pretended to yell at them for trying to steal our shit but was almost certainly for getting caught. Oh, and the aggy parade went right by us pregame and when the kids with shovels following the horses went by we yelled at them "Way to shovel that shit bro!" or something to that effect. They were not happy with us lol.

It’s the ties that bind us.  We can all revel in aggy retardedness.

my nephew that I mentioned previously that went to A&M for a year (semester? Not sure)  and transferred to OSU, when we went to an Aggy game against New Mexico St. to support him (he wasn’t happy), my favorite memory, besides them seemingly “sawing em off” twice a quarter and thinking that it was weird they got off to something so incredibly lame so many times a game, was some fat aggy oldster a couple rows behind us scolding an Aggie kid for booing a call.  “Aggies don’t boo, son”.  It’s been 6 or 7 years and we still mock that around our house frequently.

Helicopter relatives maybe?

Your later post said you went to a game with him and heard an oldster telling a kid not to boo. 
 

He should have been in the student section with his peers and you should have been in the visitor section and met up with him later. 

Can’t blame him for being upset about having to hang with olds at the game.

Huh? 
what the fuck are you talking about?  I didn’t say he sat with us.  Even if he did it was a single fucking game in sept, Dr Freud

Guys we found GJ Kinne's accounts 

It's in the numbers.  I haven't run them in a couple of years, but in when I last did it in 2020: 

39 G5 HC had been poached by P5 programs in the previous 10 years. 
82% of those had a 10 win season within their 1st 5 years (a couple had a previous 10 W season at another G5). 
The other 18% had been a coordinator at that P5, a coordinator at a Top 5 P5, had a relationship w/ a bigtime donor, or resurrected Temple. 
From 2016-2020, the numbers were even more stark: 14/17 G5 -> P5 hires had a 10 win season in their 1st 5 years, 10 of those in the 1st 4 years.

Traylor and Morris are much more likely to get the gig than Kinne.  

Traylor has much more experience in P4, has 5+ years as HC w/ proven results: 2 Conf Titles; 12, 11, 9 win seasons; 6 bowl games.  UTSA has shit NIL and a G5 coach that doesn't move up after winning 10 games is more likely to be fired than find long term success at that G5 (couldn't see that there, but just saying).  Pat Hill types are rare.

Morris has 5+ years HC experience, more P5 experience, was absolutely the UIW architect, and most importantly, can probably bring his QB with him.  Same recruiting area.  Also, UNT and Denton are a dump in tornado alley.  He's getting paid peanuts @ $1.3M.

Kinne was an early adopter of the portal, and it's worked well for us, but on a razor's edge. Only 3 years of HC experience.  4-6 vs 0.500+ teams, 2-0 in bowl games, does have a P4 W. My biggest complaint:  losses to really shitty teams last year kept us from that 10 win mark.  I personally think he's waiting for Baylor.

Interesting story on UNT QB...

Cool story but no thanks on the coach. Sounds like Gundy who also said he finally “embraced” it and clearly did not and was still bitching at the end. I don’t trust anyone at this point who has complained about the new system at any time. I want someone who fully bought in to the portal and NIL from the beginning and will use it correctly at a place like OSU. Expect some players will get poached and genuinely wish them well publicly and privately. Have a plan to find a portal replacement. I’m starting to see a dichotomy of old timers (and old souls) who will never adjust and young guys who are all in and embrace the new system. I want one of those young guys. All assuming the OSU administration has the donor money lined up by the seasons end of course.
