OSU athletic director Mike Holder went on the Pistols Firing podcast the other day and complimented his football coach. Then Holder sort of challenged Mike Gundy, to put nicely. Bashed Gundy, to put it bluntly.
“You've got to give credit to Mike Gundy,” Holder said. “He's really matured into a difference-maker as a coach. I would approach recruiting a little differently than he does. I'd want to finish higher in those recruiting rankings than we consistently do. I think that ultimately puts a ceiling on what you're able to achieve … I think sometimes we settle when we don't have to.
