Mike Gundy: I wasn't aware...

[Michael_E_Davis]

That one of his sons attends the University of Arkansas.  How many knew that?   His son might be able to convince him to replace Bielema.  I think Mike Gundy would be a great hire.

[WalHog2018]

YES! I would throw the kitchen sink at him. Would be a home run hire. Anyone who disagrees is not a football guy.

[The OTR]

Grundy isn't going anywhere. 

Right now the only person in the universe I trust about this coaching change is Mr. Iron Mike Irwin himself. 

Until Mike says CBB is gone I'm not going to believe it.

And until he says who the next coach is I'm not going to even acknowledge posts like this.  Guess you could say I'm boycotting coaching speculation threads. Plus Wilson outlawed these types of threads several weeks ago so you are in direct violation of that law at this time.

Let's get this kind of thing cleaned up in here and have some law and order this week for once.  We need to get ready for ol miss and that is all there is to it.  Need a win here boys and this kind of nonsense is getting old quick with the bosses here.

[Marshfieldhog]

This would be a grand slam hire

For an alter ego trolling machine you make sense. You are gonna wind up with your Girlfriend Stephanie Greene in the land of forgotten trolls if you don't make with the schtick and leave the real football analysis to  us experts...

Does his son have the power to do that?

Not saying it's so, but it is possible someone on the hill will make a decision without telling Mike first.

[Michael_E_Davis]

I dunno.  I have a daughter,  and she can about convince me to do anything for her.  That is why I am always broke.

Copy that.

[synthartist69]

OMG.... I wanted Gundy when they hired BB..... love his offenses

[kodiakisland]

Plus, If Gundy was our coach, my high school pictures would become cool again.

[IMABIELEMA]

Let's not be delusional here.  Gundy is at his dream school already and it's currently a better program.

[HogimusMaximus]

Mike Irwin doesn't know anything about this and Mike Gundy isnt going anywhere.

[presidenthog]

Let's not be delusional here.  Gundy is at his dream school already and it's currently a better program.

He would have came last time. We chose Bert instead.

Good lawd...

[The Kig]

Grundy coaches a top 10 team in a weak conference.   Why on earth would he want this job?  Smart people don't take demotions.

[The OTR]

Not saying it's so, but it is possible someone on the hill will make a decision without telling Mike first.

No that is not possible.

[twistitup]

Easy name to spell and pronounce

Just don't call him Ike Grundy- many will get upset

[hawgon]

Gundy would have come but he has pretty much outlived and outlasted T. Boone (89 now) and things are looking up.

[PonderinHog]

It looks to me like Gumby just wants to a cowboy.

Coaches leave their dream school to pursue more viable options that help them achieve their goals all the time..... hell, Bert's predecessor left his Alma mater to coach Arkansas.

This I can agree with.

[SemperFi]

The mullet can stay put in Stillwater. He's a good coach, but not SEC good and with him as the Head Hog we would just continue on down the same path as we've been traveling since Harley Gate.

Arkansas is NOT a step up from OK State. 

[go hogues]

He already turned us down once.

Next.

[widespreadsooie]

I would guess there's a good chance Gundy's son thinks his dad has something really good going at OK St. and that he'd probably like to keep that going.

[Redhogs]

He already turned us down once.

Next.

No he did not..he wanted the job...Long turned him down and hired Bert instead. Pickins and him were at each other's throats at the time. That ship has long sailed.....

[clutch]

Of course that's what everyone on here wants to think now, looking back at it. It's far more likely though that he used us to get another raise. I don't think he ever had any intention of coming here.

Petrino went to the University of Atlanta Falcons?

That is so true!

[HotlantaHog]

Gundy's son is probably going to school away from his father because he wants to have a little separation from his parents, no matter how much he loves them.

I don't think the fact that he is going to Arkansas is a reason for his father to move here. It may be a reason for him not to come here.

[thebignasty]

Grundy doesn't get along with T.Boone.  Maybe that tainted relationship opens some doors.

Grundy coming here would be the ultimate parent move.

Deja vu all over again

[rwspear]

Petrino went to the University of Atlanta Falcons?   

I was also confused...

[hawgon]

It did and it would have...five years ago.  We could have had him then.  T. Boone is 89  is and much less involved.

[RME]

Well, he does refer to his mullet as "The Arkansas Waterfall."

Isn't that basically the same as Gruden wearing a red tie?

Book it.

ALL THINGS GUNDY MERGED

[Grizzlyfan]

How is Arkansas a more viable option for Gundy to achieve his goals?

[Hayduke]

As an OSU fan, I can assure you he will not be leaving for Arkansas or anywhere else any time soon. He just signed a new contract that automatically renews, in effect making Gundy the OSU coach in perpetuity.

When he flirted with Arkansas, A&M, and Tennessee he had Jimmy Sexton as his agent and it was a ploy to get a new contract (that was two contracts ago now). He scrapped Sexton right afterwards. He's making $4.2 million this year and it increases annually.

Things certainly can and do happen, but I wouldn't count on it here.

[TNRazorbacker]

Gundy isn't leaving, but he'll be happy to waste our time in the courtship. Thats his MO. I don't blame him, It keeps his superiors at Okie State from taking things for granted.

But he flirted hard last time because of the rocky relationship with T Boone Pickens. That relationship is not a lot better today. UA has cleaned that up under Jeff Long - the heavy hitters don't have a key code that provides access to every office at any time.

You might recall that Gundy was leaked as UA's coach after Smile. Twenty minutes later we score Bielema. Folks didn't think we could get Gundy and they thought Bielema even more of a longshot. Both were ours for the taking. Don't underestimate our options, but don't think we can land ANYONE just because we want them.

Gundy was ours for the taking? lol I'm not buying it. Just following the timeline between love letters and everything else it's obvious there was never any other choices other than Bielema.

[Oklahawg]

Gundy asked to be interviewed. You don't ask unless you are willing to take the job. Too risky for Gundy.

There were at least two others who were invited to interview besides CBB.

[Wildhog]

Have to admit, I'm a little terrified of Long making this hire.
