How do you figure it's Gundy's fault on the NIL front?  Are you assuming he's not asking for the funding from the boosters?

He only ever bitched and complained about it and it is known that he was on the bad side of several donors because of some of his public statements and refusal to engage in fundraising efforts. If we make the right hire I think there will finally be alignment and funding will open up.

That ship has passed.   Schools now want a head coach who is fully vested into all things NIL and portal.  Gundy either couldn't or wouldn't get involved in such matters, plus his relations with boosters and fans over the past few years was just horrendous.  

Coaches are always auditioning for their next gig.  Gundy's age + flunking his audition has doomed him.  He should have taken the Tennessee gig 10 years ago or so.

I figure he will end up on the Fox pregame show News.   FIFY

the reminds me of the corporate world in a lot of ways

you have a guy who built you up to where you are, he did a great job. he's getting old and lazy, resting on his laurels. times change, instead of him adapting he digs in his heel. 

everyones thankful, but its not what the business needs to move forward. projects are stalled while trying to figure out what to do. 

magically once that person is removed, things move forward. the old guy may be double bitter about every part of it, but no one wanted to toss more money onto something that wasn't working

There has to be some old posts on the Gundy thread where we definitely made fun of his anti-NIL side.  He bitched more than Dabo about it.

The HCs who bitch about NIL are the guys who don't wanna schmooze with the money and help fund-raise bc they think they're brilliant strategists. I'm glad Sark hasn't fallen into that trap yet. Of course, our guys do make it a helluva lot easier for him.

Not that far off. The GDP of DFW is 3-4x what Oklahoma's is as a state. 

DFW is also twice the size of all of Oklahoma but yes, Dallas is one of the moneyed cities in America.  When I say Dallas, I mean real Dallas not fucking McKinney or Denton or some shit.
