Why has Mike Gundy been passed over so much?

Schools that should have given him a look:
Auburn
Arkansas
Ole miss
Lsu
Florida
Tennessee
Texas
Texas AM
USC
Penn State
I know he wouldn't leave for some of those schools. And yes, I know osu is his alma mater. However, he doesn't have the biggest budget for assistants, doesn't get along well with his administration (or T Boone), and access to recruits is not as good as would be for say....Florida.
I think if tamu, Florida, or lsu threw a shite pile of money they could've had him.
His qb development is great, his recruiting seems to be okay for where he is, and his teams at least show some semblance of defense (I.e. He isn't Baylor-esque).
Why is he constantly overlooked for subpar coaches like mcelwain, sumlin, malzahn, etc?

All of those are pretty lateral except for USCw. Probably because of what Gundy has brought to Stillwater.

as much as he and the big 12 champion for that conference to be much greater than it is, it's not.
sure, he may go to a big time school and put up video game like numbers. but it's defense is ABSOLUTE trash, and he acted like the potential 2011 game between LSU and OSU would have been a 39-36 game.
he's a good coach, but it's in his best interest to stay right where he's at. no need to frick up his coaching reputation going somewhere else and most likely showing his style only works in the perfect circumstance.

Maybe he's happy where he's at and doesn't want to leave, and thus isnt' getting passed over so much as he's telling people he isn't leaving so don't waste your time.

He's in the best place he could possibly be.
Posted on 9/19/17 at 2:12 pm to Moustache
must be some skeletons in his closet. helluva coach though.
Posted on 9/19/17 at 2:12 pm to Moustache
Because he's all business in the first half of the game then party in the back-end.

OSU has some pretty deep pockets with T Boone and co.
He's the best coach they've had and at least competitive with the hated Sooners.... unlike the whipping boys they once were.
I forget the streak OU had on them at one time but it wasn't pretty.

Don't know but he is #1 on who I want at A&M. I think Pickens will put aside differences and pay him though

Okie State is a better program than those three. Traditionally those three suck.

Several of those jobs on your list are not even step ups. And most arent significantly better jobs to warrant a change

How many times has this been posted in the 4 pages ?
I think he just turned 50, can't believe that's 10 yrs old.

He has not been passed over, good coach, its just been well understood that he is content at Ok St, has a good gig there. Played there, coaches there, owns a restaurant right near campus, etc.

What makes you think they didn't give him a look?
He's from there. So is his wife. He played there. He already makes good money. He's there as long as he wants, pending something crazy off the field.
