Today I Learned: Mike Gundy’s House Is A Dude Ranch
Today I Learned: Mike Gundy’s House Is A Dude Ranch
Mike Gundy has a dude ranch. Tennessee can't figure out the head coach thing.
The internet is an educational place.
Here's a collection of information we've gleaned from the World Wide Web this week.
Some of it's useful — some of it, not so much.
Today I learned…
Mike Gundy Is A Cowboy For Life
Mike Gundy isn’t leaving Oklahoma State for Tennessee — despite a monster $7 million per year contract offer from the Volunteers — which is convenient considering that he apparently only recently applied the finishing touches on his home, which doubles as the dude ranch for a fundraising effort called Cowboy Xtreme Camp.

Oklahoma State Athletics raises $125,000 in two days by charging campers $1,500 a piece to attend the two-day event held on the first two days of fall football camp. Those who fork over the cash get to attend team meetings, eat with the team, and wear some fresh Nike coaches gear, but the highlight is a trip to the Gundy compound.
Check it out. Check it all out.
Tennessee Is Hiring Everyone — And No One
The Vols were going to hire Jon Gruden. But then they looked to a different former Tampa Bay Bucs head coach.
And then Tennessee hired that coach, now-Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano. But then the Vols said nevermind.
Tennessee was going to hire Mike Gundy — at least according to half of Twitter and virtually every blog and message board in America. But then Gundy passed on a reported six-year, $42 million contract to stay in Stillwater, OK.
So then the Vols were going to hire — did hire according to some erroneous reports — Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm. But then they didn’t.

After that — or before that or during that — Tennessee set its sights on SMU head coach Chad Morris. But, at least as of this writing, Morris to Knoxville doesn’t seem imminent.
I say that because now apparently NC State head coach Dave Doeren is the guy?
They ought to launch a coaching search firm as a side hustle on Rocky Top. They’ve talked to just about every potential candidate in the country at this point.

That’s a long subhead, but what part of that would you cut?
According to Dan Wolken, well… you know what? Just read it for yourself:

No Group Of 5 Team Is Ever Going To The Playoff
I’m being dramatic… sort of… I think. But if undefeated UCF — with one of the most electrifying offenses in the country and a rising superstar as its head coach — can only move four spots, from No. 18 to No. 14, over the course of five weeks of rankings, I mean, how’s anyone else ever going to do more than that?
On one hand, sure, if the Knights would’ve played, say, Oklahoma in September (like Houston did a year ago) and were still unbeaten, they’d obviously be receiving more respect. But would a win over Oklahoma really be worth 10 spots?
Probably not. Sorry, Knightro.
