Coaches are confident people. Take that big chance any way you can get it.
I wish them luck, they're gonna need it.
One wonders if Gottlieb said "thanks but no thanks"

OK that makes sense, I should have recognized our 40-31 record.
Since it's been what we're stuck on for so long now.
Probably waiting on a signature from Walker.
He came out earlier today and said they called and told him he was no longer under consideration.
Not sure how Holder keeps his job much longer. Gundy isn't a fan either.

Just as an aside, someone who knows such things once told me that there was apparently a potential opportunity to replace Beckman with Gundy once upon a time. Not sure which year. That seems less ridiculous today.
Great look. Really captures recent history. I tend to think of blue blood as long-term, so even going back 50 years you'll have a subset of fans that remember that far back.
With 5 titles, and a fan base that is still really passionate, I'm not sure how you exclude Indiana. They're titles might be kinda stale, but not everyone who watched in '87 is completely dead yet.
Their podunk site finally loaded for me, and sure enough, meltdown.
The Cowboy faithful doesn't seem too pleased for some reason with this hire.
I thought it could really make sense - Boynton was with Underwood for the past four years, he's had to be partly involved in the achievement. Sure it's an assistant, but unless you had a big name teed up and were willing to pay for him -- and if you were willing to pay, you wouldn't have lost Underwood -- promoting a top assistant seems like the next choice to make. It could pay off for them if he can X and O coach at all.

That's a winner!!

I wish they would have hired Gottlieb so we could have a data point on failed former players with no coaching experience failing.

I agree. This goes back a page further, to 1957. Much more success for Indiana. Not as much for Illinois, speaking of dark days.
And look at that string for UCLA, eh?

Bradley did make a S16 under Les. I wouldn't strike that as a HUGE failure for Bradley.

Both of these schools are facing some serious financial difficulties. That said, you'd think T Boone could pony up a few more for OSU.

Don't be such a buzz kill (or a drip).
Talk to Bradley fans. You'll get about 95% who think FAIL. Les had 9 seasons and never finished better than 4th in the MVC. They will tell you the S16 was great but winning 2 games in March didn't overcome 9 seasons not competing for a MVC title.

Sorry, you must be steamed by now.

And, they used a consulting firm to figure this out.

They should have asked me. I'd have charged half the price to recommend this same move.
Strange move by OSU. This may, however, help them keep their roster together. At least what is left of their roster.
