Without getting into the politics here....does Mike Gundy survive with his job?
Like all things in college football it's about recruiting and this is going to kill him in that department.
Will it hurt Dabo?
Absolutely. He did what the far left wanted. He confessed his white sins and now they're moving on. The fact that he has Ok State winning football games has a little to do with it too

I hope so
I thought he'd get past the OANN thing. However, the accusations from the 1989 Colorado game aren't going to go away so easily, I don't think.
To be honest I hadn't heard that. Why is that just coming up now? 30 yrs ago?
The why is for another board. The fact is that it HAS come up, and I'm struggling to see how Gundy keeps his job at this point. As pointed out above, just from a recruiting standpoint if nothing else.
The stuff against him and his staff is a little different, so probably not. He's also getting a lot of guys to the league.
There are schools that will look the other way and hope the news cycle latches onto something else. Dabo had a coach confess to using a racial slur, Dabo entered a half hearted non-apology apology, and it seems like we are on to other things. I remember a faulty story about a former OSU recruit and Zach Smith being a racist having more traction than the true Dabo Clemson story.
I think it was DeAndre Hopkins said he doesn't mention Clemson because of some racial things down there.
The thing with Gundy and OAN, if you are wearing an OAN shirt with the kind of players you have on your team and you recruit, you are either oblivious or tone def.

It might by 7 and 8 years from now, but a H/H with Ohio State and Bama is on the books. Yes please!

I don't really remember what Oklahoma State was before Gundy, but it seems he goes about 8-5 every year with a middle of the pack Big 12 finish and a trip to the Alamo Bowl. I guess they've decided that's worth all the other nonsense.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
Thing with the racist comment from 89. This should be a no brainer for him. Apologize, say you were young and immature, say you have changed as you grew older.
Unless you didn't actually do it

Gundy has proven though that he doesn’t need a top recruiting class to win, so I don’t think that’s going to be a factor moving forward. He’s still one of the most forward offensive minds in the game.
What’s sad is something akindo posted in the other thread, but i think Chuba Hubbard likely brought attention to a radical news outlet that a lot of people likely had never heard of.
The news attention is cyclical. People will be pissed off about something else next month. Not to mention canning a head coach for any reason during the summer is suicide especially when players can transfer out with no repercussions. Imagine Chubba Hubbard at Ohio State.
Short term I think he weathers the storm. If the team quits on him then we can talk in December.
