re: Why doesn't Gundy's name get mentioned...

Pretty sure we went after him before hiring Sumlin and he reupped his contract. He's an OSU alum but I think he's clashed with administration or boosters (ie Boone) at times

I'd heard last year when we were talking to him that he and Pickens hate each other. Take it FWIW and with a grain of salt, but the word was that there was a bit of a Jerry Jones/Jimmy Johnson complex there in that there's sort of an argument for who is more instrumental in OSU's upswing -- Gundy's coaching or T. Boone's money. Same thing was happening at Oregon between Uncle Phil and Chip Kelly.

Who knows, but it would explain him flirting with several other jobs last year.
