Uh, he's also won a Big 12 divisional title, won the Big 12 and played for another Big 12 title and has gone to 17 bowls in * checks notes * 17 years.Yeah honestly not trying to just play Matt Campbell apologist but OSU is a great example - Gundy has been there 2 decades and has a 158-76 overall record, and this season OSU is a dumpster fire. The “this is year 8 Campbell should have it all figured out” crowd needs to take note
Campbell is a 500 coach, essentially winning 1 of 2. Gundy wins 2 of 3. Yes, Oklahoma State has more advantages than Iowa State.
BUT
that comparison is not the thing you think it is, IMO. And they have been trying to get rid of him of and on for a couple years now.
No matter how ugly the loss to Ohio, if we had never missed a bowl game and we'd been to 7 in 7 years, I doubt anyone would care.
I think at least for me the frustration is in the trajectory of the program. We've gone 9-7-4 and I have a hard time seeing more than 4 right now.
