Oklahoma State football is reeling after a 69-3 blowout loss at Oregon — just months removed from an 0-9 Big 12 season. Jason Watkins of Rise & Shine College Football is joined by Cody Stovall of Locked On Oklahoma State to break down why the Cowboys’ Board of Regents made a huge mistake by not moving on last year, why Mike Gundy is clearly in over his head in the NIL and transfer portal era, and how waiting too long to fire Mike Gundy makes the OSU job less attractive for top coaching candidates.
Jason and Cody also talk about OSU donors’ frustration, athletic director Chad Weiberg’s role, and the most likely candidates to replace Gundy — from Zac Robinson to Jeff Traylor and beyond.
