So please stop with the "no big program is gonna want him".....not sure why a big school wouldn't want a guy with 20+ years experience that has always been a winner and a players coach.....Sadly, the bigger coaching jobs are about 'what have you done lately?' And the last two years haven't been kind to Gundy. But I do like his offensive system. He stuck to his guns with that system for 20 years and was very successful. But you still need the players to operate it. Being ranked 50th, 58th and 59th in recruiting rankings the last three years isn't going to cut it.. Do you think Oklahoma St is gonna be a top 25 recruiting school? If you get the right kids, 3 and 4 stars often out perform 5 star recruits.....thats where the coaching comes in. Of course last 2 years was the introduction of NIL and the portal....so a weird transition period has been happening.....Clemson and Ok St are 2 of the bugger schools that thought they could stick to the old ways and build from within....maybe in a few years it will even out, but now you gotta open your pocketbook for the best players.....the difference is small position by position....but added over 22 guys makes a big difference.....
