I was the face of the defense and [Gundy] thought my age would hurt recruiting and he thought players wouldn’t play for me.

    What a slap in the face. He could have at least blamed it on the 600+ yard games.

    He is going to be missed, he is a good man, and a great example for the kids. Hopefully he knows that the OSU family wishes him the best. I have mixed feeling about Gundy, first he does/says something like that to man like Bill Young, but then he turns around a hires a guy like Nathan Peterson…at first I was like what a prick, then after hearing the news about peterson i thought……Just when I thought you couldn’t get any stupider, you go and do something like this…..and TOTALLY redeem yourself.

    If he is willing to put this out for public view, I would say those thoughts are likely accurate.

    Good Riddance. Horrible DC. And OSU stats show it.

    Really don’t like the result. Sure do agree with his statement of the defense with high snaps. Do we need hybrid guys who can run wild like a saftey but tackle like a LB?

      You need guys who can tackle, period! I like it that they avoid injuries during spring football and summer periods but oSu has long had guys who are not adept at tackling and I think that’s because they don’t get very physical at practices and are not taught proper tackling technique.

    Do any of you think he might file a lawsuit, age discrimination? It doesn’t sound like it from what he’s been saying but let’s say he can’t find another gig soon???
