2) when I said cheater i meant in in more that adultery, he also cheated at football.

I stand (somewhat) corrected. That's still fairly inconsistent, especially the last three. It's just also had this feeling of falling off both talent-wise and inconsistent results. That 10-4 2023 season they got smashed at home by South Alabama.

To be fair, I think payer development is more on the positional coaches. I don't think the head coach is evaluating individual player film at each position and personally running drills.
I concede that ultimately the head coach is ultimately responsible for who is on his staff and the job they do.

There was still T Boone Pickens money coming in until 2023. He donated over $650M total, most going to Athletics and a Scholarship Endowment. Last gift was $120M in 2023 as part of settling his estate. About $25M of that was earmarked for football. He paid for the school golf course to be completely overhauled, about $60M to the Scholarship Endowment and another $25M to build the OSU Human Performance Innovation Complex available to all students.

The OKST/Gundy decline started right after TBoone died.

I thought this as well, but TBoone died in 2019. They've won 8, 12, 7, 10, 3 in the subsequent five seasons.

Fun fact - OKst has had eleven 10-win seasons in program history, and 10 of them came when Gundy was playing QB or coaching.

Just feels so odd for things to crater that badly after from 2006-2023, an 18 year run, having:

Not sure how many Gundy pressers you've watched recently, but he spends a lot more time complaining about the NIL/portal world than adjusting to it (Which is somewhat ironic, given that - when it comes to scheme - he's pivoted/adjust more than almost any coach not named Nick Saban). He alleges that his last 3 rosters have made $7m collectively - that's G5 spending. He's also run off some talented players lately. He's not shy about sharing (or at least heavily insinuating) his political opinions.

The OKST/Gundy decline started right after TBoone died. I think it's half Gundy is not a good coach for the new era of CFB and half TBoone not being around to make sure everyone is pulling in the same direction.
