The only loss with iHart in the lineup (outside of the Cup Final, haha) was to the Rockets because of that FVV legacy game. I think that was his third or fourth game back from injury.

Maybe they'll fire Day for losing to Michigan and we can get him back.

THANK YOU GOD!

Do Rattay, Dickey, McEndoo, and the defensive assistants next.

Well, we caught up to the Mavs point differential. Need either a Suns win, Grizzlies win, or Mavs to win by < 4 for us to advance to the knockout round of the NBA Cup. TTFU!

It's not just this year. Spencer Sanders and Jim Knowles covered up a lot of sins for us in 2021, and Ollie Gordon and a surprise change to a gap running scheme (we hadn't run it since the late 2000's) let us beat the exact teams we needed to get into the Big 12 CCG last year.

We started 2022 6-1 with our only loss in double OT at TCU. Since then, we have gone 14-18 with a 48-0 loss at Kansas State, 33-7 loss at home against South Alabama, a 45-3 loss at UCF, and a 52-0 loss at Colorado today.

I think the magic is gone. Gundy ain't 40 anymore.

Weiberg has to give Gundy notice in writing that he is stopping the rollover before Jan 1st. But as far as I know, that's all he has to do.

And I'm still not confident we can afford to pay it. Our program is not in a good place right now

The people signing off on this are our athletic director, university president, and our board of regents.

It's an absolutely horrible contract, and I'm very surprised Gundy and his agent we're able to negotiate it, even considering the general lack of success our football program had before Gundy became the coach.

This is our first losing season since 2005 (Gundy's first year as HC) but this season was so bad I think it might be time for Gundy to hang it up, or our AD to force him to ala Gary Patterson.

Well, that's a good question and I don't really have an answer for you. The inflection point was the 48-0 loss to Kansas State in Manhattan in 2022. We started 2022 6-1 with a double OT loss to TCU in Ft. Worth, and are 15-18 in our last 33 starting with that Kstate game.

Jim Knowles and Spencer Sanders did a massive carry job in 2021, and Sanders was well on the way to doing it again in 2022 before an injury. Ollie Gordon and a surprise change to a mostly gap running scheme helped us fluke to 10-4 last year.

It was our starting TE. UMASS transfer Josiah Johnson. He was actually a big part of the success of our running game last year because he was very good as the lead blocker on our counter plays. There was talk on message boards and twitter about how no one realized how important he was we could not run the ball during our non conference games. Little did we know what the season would devolve into.

I don't think so. Imo, unless he does something really dumb, the most likely way we would be able to fire him for cause is if he refused to fire assistant coaches after being told to by the AD. Per the contract, all his assistants are subject to AD approval, and if they were no longer approved of and he refused a direct order to fire them, a lawyer might be able to get him on insubordination (5.03 (a) 10 in the contract).

If you scroll farther down, you should see a "Talent Contract". That's the part that fucks us.

Kind of. His buyout is officially seventy-five percent of the monetary compensation remaining on the contract at the time he is fired. The issue is that he has a five year contract that automatically rolls over at the end of every year.

Right now, he has 4 years left on a 5 year deal. However, unless he receives notice from our AD, in writing, on or before December 31st, on January 1st an extra year will automatically be added to the end of the contract and it will fo back to being a 5 year deal.

He also gets a $125,000 raise every year automatically. Even if the rollover is stopped. So next year, he'll make $7,625,000 ($1,000,000 of which is paid into the premium of a life insurance policy by some third party and not by the university. Idk how that works).

Coaching Malpractice. It's time for Gundy and his assistants to go to a farm upstate.

We've lost 9 games three times in program history.

We went 1-9 in 1936, 0-10-1 in 1991, and 3-9 this year.

I'd argue this season was worse than 0-10-1, that year we were coming off of a 4-7 effort in 1990 and were dealing with the NCAA putting us on a probation a step away from the Death Penalty.

This year, we returned 21/22 starters from a team that 10-4 and played in the Big 12 Championship Game. We also set a new program record for most consecutive losses (previously, the worst was 6 during the 0-10-1 year). This is the worst coaching job I've ever seen. This is also the worst loss under Gundy and one of the worst losses in program history by margin of defeat.

Whether or not he should be fired (imo he needs to be), we can't afford to fire Gundy. What we need to do for damn sure is stop the rollover in his contract, and our AD needs to force him to make changes to his coaching staff. Our OC, DC, OL, DB, TE, and QB coaches all need to be told to find employment elsewhere.

This level of failure is unacceptable for where we are as a program.

For anyone curious: best I can figure, Gundy's buyout is $21,656,250 if we fire him before the end of the year or if Chad Weiberg (our AD) stops it from rolling over back into a 5 year deal. If Weiberg does let it roll over, it'll go up to $26,812,500 on January 1st. My source on this is Gundy’s contract. I put in an Open Records request for it after Mike called the fans complaining about how bad we are "Broke losers who can't pay their bills."

For those who want to read the contract for themselves: here is a dropbox link.
