Daily Bullets (July 12): Mike Gundy and the Idea of a Head Coach-In-Waiting

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• Brandon Weeden and a Cowgirl Basketball legend are the first OSU representatives on the Big 12 Alumni Council (PFB)

• A pair of Cowboys made the top 100 players in NCAA Football 2025 (PFB)

• Mike Gundy was asked about the idea of a head coach-in-waiting and while “it’s so far down the line”, he seemed warm to it

“But it’s a good question, I never thought about [a coach-in-waiting]. But I really believe it’s so far down the line for me that I don’t have to think about it, but at some point, I would like to be able to say maybe these two guys to pick from, because Oklahoma State is a different situation. It’s a very unusual job. You have to have a little bit of history with it to really know it, in my opinion.” [PFB]

Non-OSU Bullets

• You might be a late bloomer

• The least of your children’s accomplishments (faith-based)

One of the great mistakes in life is suffering for years because you didn’t want to feel foolish for five minutes.

-You don’t want to apologize, so you let a relationship deteriorate.
-You’re scared of the sting of rejection, so you don’t ask for what you want.
-You fear…
