Decline of Riley & Gundy in 2024 Fueled by a Lack of Accountability
Both Riley and Gundy have shown the ability to leverage inherent advantages and thrive within them, but their successes have been built on circumstances rather than their own brilliance. Riley, for instance, was handed the keys to the Oklahoma Ferrari at a time when Bob Stoops had meticulously tuned the program to attract elite talent and establish a culture of excellence.
This made it relatively easy for Riley, a first-time head coach, to step into a ready-made machine and enjoy immediate success, without having to truly build from the ground up. His offenses were explosive, but the real heavy lifting — establishing a sustained winner — had already been done for him.
Gundy, meanwhile, built a respectable program at Oklahoma State by leveraging his coaching acumen and, more importantly, his personality to align with the deep pockets of billionaire donor Boone Pickens. This combination raised the expectations for OSU football, bringing it up from the Big 12 basement to a level of consistency rarely seen in Stillwater.
But let’s not confuse “respectable” with elite. Gundy’s accomplishments, impressive as they might seem within the context of OSU's history, were built against a low bar.
