If UT gets Gundy they got the better coach.

Substitute "Gundy" for "Mullen" in all the critical posts and you wouldn't know the difference. Are you sure these reports aren't just misspelling Gruden?

It's my understanding Davenport did not sign the MOU. I'm not an expert on all this but what I'm told the MOU required 4 signatures to be valid.
As for the defamation, UT officials and representatives were on board with the hire. It was the masses on twitter and fans at the stadium that were slandering him over the child rape stuff. I even made a comment. I'm far from an attorney but I don't see where he can sue for defamation. Someone that knows more can help me here. Can Schiano sue me for my comment?:fear:
Do you have deep pockets or will you need a "Go Fund Me" page?

Why does everybody think Gundy would destroy Mullen? Serious question. Gundy with all of T Boone Pickens money and facilities hasn’t built a winner at OK State.

I would agree with this. 6+ mil a year is a strong incentive.
They would have to give him 7+. Maybe even 8. Hell, if I was Gundy I would ask for 10. There is no more desperate team than the Vols at this very moment. I'd soak the hell out of them.

Frankly, it's an awful job and the poor sap that takes it deserves 10 million.

I'll take the job for that, and work on getting fired as quickly as possible. :handraised:

If they win their bowl game they will have like five 10 win seasons in the past seven years. He has kind of been like Richt just not winning conference championships. The year he did win the conference they screwed them over and sent Bama to the BCSCG instead in that rematch with LSU.

Y’all are still thinking Gundy is 40, well he’s 50. In the 10(+) years he’s been there how many times have they won the Big10? How many times where they in the BCS/Playoffs? How many times did he beat OU? Gundy is a third tier coach

He must be doing the right way, building champions of life. P.S. Are you implying T Boone’s money could buy players?

Why is it an awful job?
It's no more of an awful job than any other SEC coaching job Ox. The fan base is loyal to coaches who win games and downright hostile to those that don't. No different than here, Baton Rouge or College Station. You succeed you get paid 5,6 or 7 million dollars a year. You don't meet expectations or go 4-8 you're ran out of town.

I know that I do not. Gundy is simply Larry Fedora with financial support. A GREAT offensive mind and fantastic OC, but not so much of the head coaching and game prep kind of guy. I would not have minded him at Tenn. We would still own them.

@Brett_McMurphy: Sources: Mike Gundy has decided to remain at Oklahoma State. He met w/Tennessee officials Tuesday in Dallas. Gundy reportedly had a 6-year, $42 million deal from Tennessee, but will remain at his alma mater https://www.facebook.com/TheBrettMcMurphy

Wasn’t sure if it was a twitter troll account, so went to volnation to see if they had it. Trying to open the page was like downloading Gone With The Wind on 1998 dial up.

Tells me all I need to know. Yikes.

I am certain that in all the years Gundy has been at Ok st, he has never won the Big 10 :suspect:
