Very happy to see Gunnar is back in the fold on the QC staff.
KC Gundy, also Offense QC...? Is this Cale?
Purely an oversight on Robert's part. I went back in and fixed it earlier this morning.BuffalOKstate said:
I could be missing it, but looks like JW Walsh is missing from the chart
Yeah KC is Cale's kid. Robert just said this is his second season on Mike's staff.CanadianCowboy said:

Well, for starters, I'm not sure Cale will ever join Mike's staff. Not for any reason other than I'm just not sure he wants to. But for the reason why people want him to join, he recruited and coached some of the best of offensive players OU's had in the past 20 years, including DeMarco Murray, Adrian Peterson, CeeDee Lamb and Dede Westbrook just to name a few. He's one hell of a coach and recruiter, so I don't believe "Goon" plays into it in the least.RodeoPoke said:
why are people talking about adding a freaking goon on staff? If we were talking about Bob Stoops (from Ohio) then I'd get it, but Cale freaking Gundy? He never accomplished anything to warrant a position on OSU staff - did he? He's not Mike. Cale is from a goon family, and he joined the goons as a player and a coach. Let him stay a freaking goon, he doesn't need to be riding on big brother coat tails at our expense - we have the freaking nephew here and Mike's son which already makes for a bad enough nepotism visual.
putting emotions aside for a moment, why do many think that Cale would be such a great addition to the staff?
Thanks for the reply.Zach Lancaster said:
