au302 2,669 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Seems like he's been linked to every open DC job, many bigger than OK State. They may pull him, but I won't lose sleep over it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle 3,912 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 That ain’t good especially with the recruits the defense have been bringing in. The defense was actually pretty fun to watch. They could actually do their job somewhat consistently unlike the offense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 We don’t need another staff turnover is my main issue with him leaving. We are bleeding players as is and we have actually done a good job of making up with difference on defense in recruiting. We need some stability at this point. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poster on another board after the Scar loss said that Schmedding was basically going to be the DC for the IB. Laughed it off until I watched the IB. Still probably not true, but has had me thinking since then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,836 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Would be catastrophic. Why do you think our main recruiting success has come on defense? Losing him to OK state??? Red alert if true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O&B 134 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Going to take a deep breath and sleep on this one. This needs to be addressed tomorrow by Harsin/Mason. I know we are in a new world I just don’t know how you recruit players with one foot out the door (if true) and have any credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Oklahoma State Football Report on Leading Candidate on Oklahoma State Defensive Coordinator, We're Not Buying By Robert Allen January 19, 2022 1 661 Tweet Share (17) Jump to Discussion STILLWATER – There is a report out on Twitter linking current Auburn defensive coordinator Derek Mason to the vacant Oklahoma State defensive coordinator position. Mason is an outstanding coach that crossed paths with Oklahoma State as the assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator for Stanford and head coach David Shaw when Oklahoma State beat the Cardinal in overtime in the Fiesta Bowl 41-38 on Jan. 2, 2012. © Jake Crandall | 2021 May 18 Derek Mason at Auburn Mason is the highest paid assistant coach on the staff of Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin. He is making $1.5 million annually. Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy has spoke of the need to take advantage of the situation the Cowboys are in with their football program. One of those areas is coaches’ salaries and our sources have told us that Gundy might be able to go as high as $1.5-million in hiring the new defensive coordinator. We have also been told that raises for all of the full-time Oklahoma State assistant coaches in the works soon. Perhaps as soon as this week’s Oklahoma State Board of Regents meeting. The question is would Mason take a lateral move in position and salary. He and Gundy have never coached together before and the resumes don’t line up with any common coaching connections. That isn’t always the case with Gundy hires as he has hired coaches, he was unfamiliar with in the past until he interviewed them. Another hang up with Mason is that he has coached cornerbacks and defensive backs primarily in his career. If the current staff were to remain with the positions they’ve been coaching, then the defensive coordinator or as happened with Jim Knowles, a younger coach, would need to coach the linebacker position. Under Knowles, most recently Koy McFarland and prior to that current Houston Baptist defensive coordinator Shane Eachus coached the linebackers. Pat Kinnison - Chief Photographer Gundy told Pokes Report last Friday he was going outside to hire a new DC. Pokes Report put out a list of potential defensive coordinators with NFL and college backgrounds last weekend. It was on Triple Play Sports Radio and here on Pokes Report that Gundy first made public that he was going outside the current staff to make the defensive coordinator hire. We believe that North Carolina State defensive coordinator Tony Gibson, Minnesota defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, UAB defensive coordinator David Reeves, and Houston defensive coordinator Doug Belk are potential candidates. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it doesn’t happen, but the way things are going I definitely wouldn’t be shocked one bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
