Great article, Tyler! Have to say I’ll be sad whenever Gundy eventually gets the hook. He’s been a staple of CFB for so long and the face of that program it just wouldn’t feel the same.
One thing I’ll say, though, is that it’s always when things look to be trending downhill that Gundy does is his best work. Whenever he has low expectations and/or starts to inch toward the hot seat that he comes back up on top.
The years where he has a bunch of expectations (I.e. last year with a lot of returners on OFF), are when he underperforms. Will be interested to see if he can pull the rabbit out of the hat again in ‘25!

Thank you, sir!
I think you make a great point. Gundy does tend to do his best work when his back is against the wall.
Should be a wild Big 12 season once again. Can’t wait to watch it all unfold.
Agree it’s not looking good. The one thing he has going for him is it’s the Big 12…stranger things have happened.
For sure. Pretty wild that there are 10 or so teams that could realistically win that league.
