• Chad Weiberg’s expectation for the new coach is securing OSU’s place in the national landscape (PFB)

• 247 Sports analyst had some takes on the OSU opening, citing boosters’ interest in an easy transition with one candidate.

“Boosters all have their individual friends,” (Chris) Hummer said. “Dana Holgorsen is a very popular name among boosters at Oklahoma State. If this job had opened a year ago, Barry Odom would have been at the top of the list. Now, there’s a buyout to overcome “But, holistically, Zac Robinson is the name that’s going to have a ton of backing from the booster class. He is a soft transition out of the Mike Gundy era. It’s in Mike Gundy’s contract that he gets to consult on the next hire. Robinson played quarterback for Gundy.” [247 Sports]
