The way he said “Nothing surprises me anymore” I felt that!! From a Sooner fan, I have the upmost respect for Mike Gundy! Ever since his own alumni punished him for wearing a conservative t shirt, which I defended him on, I saw him in a different light.
Im a Sooner fan. I’m also Mike Gundy fan. This guy turned down huge money too go elsewhere because he is LOYAL. Much respect to Mike Gundy. Good luck in Big 12
As a Sooner fan like myself, most of us know that Cale Gundy, Bob Stoops, Calvin T, and Demarco Murray are pretty pissed of.. You see from the outside looking people may think this was all about the money but it's not. Lincoln Riley already agreed to this on the under when he didn't show up for that conference or media meeting before the Baylor game. After we lost, he came less than 24hrs after the game and told the team he was taking the job. He only met with the players for like 2-3 minutes before he left. Even the coaches and Joe C were shocked. He did that in time so he could jump right into recruiting and leave our guys in a mess. So for anyone who believes this an overnight decision check this out. USC; as part of the agreement, agreed to pay off his Two multimillion dollar homes, putt him in an even bigger multimillion dollar home in LA plus get him a deal that pays him close to 15 million a year. So if you think they talked about that in 24hrs; well then I don't know what to say. Had he atleast let Joe C know atleast 2 weeks ahead of time we may have a coach.. However I was always raised to believe as a kid that " You reap what you Sow".. so my boys got hit hard with recruiting for the 2022 class, but eventually it'll catch up to him. Heck the way he did that USC may have a top 3 recruiting class for 2023: it's just something that shows me that his scandalous act may catch up to. Bite him. Roy Manning is also waiting for his call to be ok to come to LA and get his job back. That's why he got caught just a day ago recruiting for OU and USC. He got caught because a 5-star DB mentioned his name and about still trying to recruit him to USC while going on recruiting trips with Bob Stoops on in- home visits. Alot is coming out quickly but we'll see what happens..
I just wonder if Gundy will have a job. If Venables is coach and brings in a OC. Murray, Cain Calvin T might get position coaches. Unless Gundy stays on as a assistant.
I totally agree with you buddy that this did not get worked out in 24 hours. I promise it's not just my love of Tennessee that I would say this but it certainly feels to me like Lincoln Riley was a scared bitch thinking about the fact that Oklahoma's gonna be in the SEC next year. Instead of choosing to run year after year through the murderous gauntlet that is the SEC ,he took off to arguably the worst conference in college sports, especially for football. I'm a Tennessee fan and yes I'm as embarrassed as a person can be over what happened the night we played Ole Miss. I Just found out that Heupel had already been a coordinator at OU. Although he was canned and that makes me feel a little better. Witnessing the absolutely elelectric atmosphere he has created at Knoxville I think it's still possible that OU would go after him. I definitely don't see the OU fanbase complaining especially after seeing the way he came to Tennessee which everyone knows we've been in the dumps for 25 years now and the dude walks in 1st year and scores more points than any team in SEC history… Jesus H Christ..PLEEEAAASSEEE DON'T LEAVE US JOSH. KNOXVEGAS KNOWS AFTER JUST ONE YEAR THAT WE ARE 4EVER YOURS!!!!
Riley was offered the job before Helton was fired in week 2. Riley's been recruiting for USC since September. USC knew they had him. Handshake deal. They had no coaching search. Anything official would place them on probation for recruiting violations.
I'm surprised too.the stoops brothers always went out of conference.i could see where it could be good and ba.why not have a brother of a rival g To know where you really stand
@thelastpatiot Have you been living under a rock? Almost every year the local news stations do a story about it when the bedlam game is about to be played.
Sooner Fan here. Congrats cowboys. Amazing Tackling defense, just crazy good tacklers. Good luck in the championship game. I’m forever a Mike Gundy fan. Guy is a class act. OU has Bob Stoops and OSU has Mike Gundy. They will add his name to the stadium/field/athletic facility when he retires. He rightfully earned it too.
Still blows my mind people were calling for him to be fired the first 3 weeks of the season. He has done a great Job and built that program to be successful as it is, mad respect for him! ..OU fan.
Mike Gundy may not be the greatest coach, no disrespect meant. He does take 2 and 3 star and walk on players and compete generally 7-4 seasons and better, much better most years. Gundy has always said he loves Stillwater, the school, his job, he has taken pay cuts and sacrificed for the school. Gundy, I think is ethical and honest. He is a top 1 or 3 coach in that regard. Don't care for dishonesty.
Teams use to have loyalty to the fans (customers). Players loyalty to the school. Coaches to the school, town and players. All have lost that sense. When will this mercenary attitude bleed into the "super fans" and depose their loyalty as well I wonder? We live in the era of "ME."
@@TheBlackAztec3 is loyalty noticeably on the upswing or decline? That's my point. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. College football is professional football now. That was never the intent. Honestly it has been professional football for years. But at least we pretended to some degree it wasn't.
@@fadedlobo Well I will admit I was wrong about that Americas current culture is kind of against loyalty(?). Dont know the word. Ethics are definitely at a decline though so you are right.
@@fadedlobo It has been professional for a long time. Once big money got involved. Coaches with big salaries, boosters with big pockets, paper bags full of money for recruits and players (nod nod wink wink Alabama, insert any other Power 5 school).
Who cares? Blame the system, he’s only doing what he’s allowed to do. University’s won’t hesitate when they fire your ass why should be attached to something that benefits his family for generations to come and increase the market for top caliber of coaches. Most people on here won’t hesitate one second if they were offered the deal he got.
I think that will prove to be true. This season is a perfect example of that. Gundy does more with less, Riley does less with more and that's what USC will get and they're not going to like it.
Hurts doesn't it to have to go through what all G5 programs and 90% of P5 programs go through regularly. Fact is: This is a business and fan bases would do well to just say "whatever" and move on to the next man up. With the NIL, big time college football is become NFL development league even more than it was and it has been like that for some time. Look forward to playing y'all in the comming years!
I don't mind him leaving suddenly, but what I do mind is he trashed our season because all season he was prepping to go to USC. He didn't put much effort in and it showed, like somehow coming off a bye week completely unprepared. What I also hate is how he's taking so many players and was dishonestly recruiting for USC while being the coach here. Plenty of coaches have moved on without doing any of that crap. Even Frost, as awful as he's been, stayed to coach UCF in the bowl after taking the Nebraska job and stayed devoted enough to his team to prepare them well to win. I can respect making a move for money or just a different opportunity. Riley was half in and half out and that I have absolutely no respect for.
@@ThaOfacemaker No one is saying they wouldn't take it. He took it and burned down the program on his way out and then lied about how it took a day for it all to unfold. He's just a coward
0:27 That sounded rather snarky with that "They did a good job keeping it under their hat... nice job" response. Can't say I blame him. I mean it's not like he has a football game to prepare for this Saturday ... oh wait, the Cowboys are heading to Arlington and not No U.

USC did NOT pay off his homes. That was a fake news story
You’re really writing on a essay on UA-cam over a guy taking a better coaching opportunity..
Everybody knows that fool didn't just do a zoom call take a nap and decide to go to USC when he woke up. It was going on for weeks if not months
his wife was shopping for real estate in LA and baton rouge at least 2 weeks ago.
Mike Gundy is the real deal. Gigem
I did not know that Mike's brother Cale was a Sooner assistant That must be awkward at times
Probably not as much as you think. Root for each other except when you play each other. No different than the Curry family or any other sports family
I heard that during the holidays their mom told them not to talk football.
I'm surprised too.the stoops brothers always went out of conference.i could see where it could be good and ba.why not have a brother of a rival g
To know where you really stand

Lincoln went as far away from the SEC as possible SoCal lol!
He must have a secret craving for masks and booster shots ha.

He a good Coach for a small school next year osu will suck
He had as good of an offense or better than Riley ever had.Gundy could do well in the sec. but not riley

When will this mercenary attitude bleed into the "super fans" and depose their loyalty as well I wonder? We live in the era of "ME."
A coach can be fired on a whim, even if he wins. Why should he have any more loyalty to a school than what they are willing to give him?
Two coaches leave and now loyalty doesn’t exist anymore? Lmao
@@TheBlackAztec3 is loyalty noticeably on the upswing or decline?
That's my point.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist.

Naw Bruh they gave him the world, he could have communicated with the admin and players on the he was making.
Mike Gundy is a much better coach than Lincoln Riley. -Nebraska fan
I think that will prove to be true. This season is a perfect example of that. Gundy does more with less, Riley does less with more and that's what USC will get and they're not going to like it.

Mike Gundy -- he's the man! He says what he means and means what he says.
Wow.. thats crazy
Lyin Lincoln... shoe fits, wear it.
His hair was looking great!
who cares what Mike Grundy think s other than OSU Fans? No One
I have a lot of respect for Gundy but as for Anakin Skywalker Riley I have absolutely none, Boomer Sooner for life
All you sooner fans so mad at a guy for taking a better opportunity 😂
Lincoln "Lying" Riley.
You would take that deal too. Crazy numbers and benefits.

Bummer sooner!!!.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cale Grundy recruited AP, back in the day. He’s true to the Sooners.
The bedlam record must have this man salty af. 🤣☠️💯 Gundy knows damn well he'd want that job if he had a team full of seniors.
It all about money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money money 💰
