Also, am I wrong for thinking that Gundy has turned Okie Lt into a much better program than what Les managed?

1) Boone Pickens is the real force behind Ok. State's resurgence.

2) Miles took over a 4-7 team at Ok. State in 2001.

3) Ok. State went to three straight bowl games in Les' last three years there.

4) He did this in a Big XII conference with more elite competition. Oklahoma was one of the best teams in CFB at this time. Texas was a perennial top 5 team. Nebraska played in the championship game the year Les took the reins. Texas Tech was becoming Leach team we all came to know.

5) Gundy was Miles' OC and benefited from Miles' recruiting pipelines. Gundy was literally following Les' trail in the case of players like Dez Bryant and Perrish Cox.
