Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy met with the media on Saturday afternoon to discuss the 42-20 blowout loss to Kansas State.
“I asked [the team] to follow my lead on everything we do all the time,” Gundy said on what he told the team after the game. “I asked them to trust me as a leader. And then I explain to them what I’m gonna do and what I think is best for the team, and then they have a choice to make. I think they’ll come and they’ll work tomorrow, they’ll fight Monday and they’ll be excited to get out there and play and our coaches will be excited about coaching them. That’s really you’re only option, because we have a lot of games left. We need guys who wanna come out and compete and play hard.”
mmmm.... that's bad rumor, gossip and innuendo ... not football. It' is simply your opinion.Inquisitor said:
Ok let's talk football.
All of the questions above are legitimate questions being asked by sportswriters and supporters.
Our Offensive schemes are not working. Our offense cannot run the ball. (what else is new). Our QB has happy feet and has accuracy issues over and over. The other teams seem to know our plays from the formations we run. They are in the backfield far too many times. THIS IS A PROBLEM. We are too easily scouted and everyone knows what is coming 80 percent of the time it appears. Only trick plays seem to have any chance of working.
Our Defensive Schemes are very poor. Everyone we have played thus far except for Tulsa during most of the game, have gashed us for big plays and after big plays. This is a sign that we are not using the right schemes and are getting out coached. All spring and summer we heard about the amazing speed of this Defense, the best ever some said. Our D line cannot get off blocks. We are out of position too many times at the LB's. Our D backs get tricked too many times. This is coaching.
you bringing it up in that context with that crappy analogy would be gossip, the event itself would be considered circumstantial and anecdotal.Inquisitor said:
No rumor or gossip involved in the least. These are observations of many sportswriters and fans.
Let me put this into a framework maybe you can understand Mr. Rodeo. If a guy claims to be a bull riding champion prior to the season because last season he competed for the championship but did not win, and this season he has trouble last more than 3 second on any bull he rides other than 2 weaker bulls that most lady riders can handle, would you say that was gossip?
I don't see anybody in the thread named Rawhide, and you didn't respond to a post, so who you arguing with now?Inquisitor said:
Still wanna argue with me Rawhide?
We have 20 plays on offense that every coach in the league knows, and we cannot run them properly.
On defense, we do have injuries, but we failed to recruit any depth at LB and our schemes stink. We over pursue, our angles are bad, and we blitz a running QB who just runs right around us all day because we leave him open running lanes and do not contain? Worse of all, we keep doing it all day and wear out our defense while not having the ball for the 4th week in a row. We are being outgained 500 to 200 every game buckaroo.
All of these problems fall upon the coaches.
