STILLWATER – With the Oklahoma State athletics director Chad Weiberg sitting across from me at a table at Hideaway Pizza on Campus Corner there was a smile, albeit a cautious one when I started to read the first question text in for the interview on radio with Weiberg. 

“A raise in season football ticket prices? After a three-win season, really?”

The question from the listener was legit.

A bunch of retread coaches, very few real difference-making players, and a head coach who insults the fans. Now we have higher ticket prices. I see very little to be optimistic about. The board of regents was right to confront Gundy and hold him accountable. I have yet to hear a plan from him which gives me hope for success.

I've always tried to be supportive of Coach Gundy considering everything he's accomplished at OSU. But, he's CEO of the program and he needs to get in front of the fans and discuss what happened last season and his plans to turn things around going forward. Hiding and letting other folks talk about what he's planning to do doesn't cut it for me.

When a CEO of a public company doesn't meet expectations he's still required to get in front of his stake holders and answer tough questions. And he does it every three months whether it's good news or bad news. I know we aren't a public company but, in my view he still shares some of the same responsibilities.

He may not like doing it but it's part of his job. It's been close to 2 months since we've seen him discuss the program in depth. I've had season tickets for over 45 years and will renew whether he's out in front or not. But the hopes for last season were off the charts and it's was horrible. You are making millions a year to manage this program. Doing your job and earning your pay is more than just what happens on the field. It's about answering to your stake holders in good times and bad. You shouldn't go hide when things didn't go your way.

You aren't a stakeholder my friend. Do you own stock? He doesn't answer to you. He answers to the CEO / President and BOR. get over yourself.
Same goes for Tulsasig who things he is some important person.
