From a long time Gundy supporter - time for him to retire

Gundy, do what's right for the University and take a reduced buy out and retire.

I'm with ya.

I will definitely verify you've been one of the staunchest hold outs.

Agreed but won’t happen. Unfortunately, it’ll get worse before it gets better.

The home crowds will shrink, badly.

I legit don’t know what worse looks like if this isn’t it.

It's time. Gundy's too old for a rebuild and I'm not sure he knows where to go from here.

Gundy is too stubborn to retire, so I have to agree with you. I think things will get MUCH worse before they get better.

They should. Was actually impressed with fan support given what went down last year.

I honestly don't understand what anyone, ANYONE, saw leading up to this that encouraged you to wait to turn on Gundy. He's been effing awful as a coach for several years. The only thing that saved him was a miracle DC hire.

It’s almost statistically can’t

Yall really think this is on Gundy??? Do you know how much money Oregon has?! Talent gap was insurmountable

Agree. Early in his career I wasn’t always a fan after Monken was gone but his teams seemed well coached and disciplined. I haven’t felt that way in along time. It’s been slipping.

No chance he’ll do that.

We were on a decent trajectory headed into 2024. 2 out of the previous 3 season in the Big 12 title game with OU and Texas as members of the conference. Now? Dude needs to step down. Current problem? I'm not sure I have confidence in anyone on campus who would have the ability to select the right coach.

That would be acceptable for something like 42-20. This is going to be a school record margin of defeat.

Losing to Tulsa at home will be up there. That will trigger the end IMO

2 things. He hired Nardo and switched to 3 down. That completely destroyed that side of the ball. And he was slow to adapt to NIL.

I would also consider myself one of the staunchest holdouts — at least from a “be careful what you wish for… the grass isn’t always greener” perspective — but even I’m done. And the sooner the better. This is indefensible.

@Ostatedchi

He needs to get hit by a bus

At some point there is no down side or risk. A legit organization doesn’t let it get to that point. But here we are.

Campus bus? Greyhound?

There can’t be a downside when you literally can’t get any worse! 😑
