Gundy’s Toast

[NorthKCHawk]

He was the second longest tenured coach besides KF I believe too. Same thought went through my head about how Gundy went out. I see in his clause they want him to be part of the selection for a new hire.

That's actually pretty cool. He has been there for 21 years and has been the heart of their program. Why not let him at least have a voice in the next hire. He cannot be overly pissed about being canned. This is big boy football and the results aren't there anymore. No one likes to be told they are failing, but its part of what you sign up for in this line of work. I am sure he is a millionaire many times over and can retire comfortably. Hopefully, it is as amicable as it can be.

I wonder if the AD called him in for a sit-down and he got defensive and raised his voice, cussed out his boss and then...they pulled the plug.

$15 million buyout I believe so I don't think he will be hurting for money. He lost his DC who went to tOSU after the 2023 season (now at PSU). They fired last years OC and sounds like some wholesale changes in staff prior to this season.

My guess at that school is there have been many angry emails from people who have private jet money, and those private jet money people finally got together and said, "Here's $15 million dollars. If you don't take this $15 million dollars to do what we'd like you to, there will be zero million dollars coming later." Just like Frost.
