Social Reaction: OSU Fans Turn On Underwood After Departure To Illinois
Brad Underwood was an every day guy for 362 days.
He grew such close ties with Oklahoma State basketball fans that rumors of him going to Kansas State or elsewhere were almost always laughed off because, though he was underpaid, his loyalty to OSU seemed genuine.
Because of that, OSU fans took offense. Immediately.

Of course one name comes to mind when you start to think about who might replace the snake under the wood.
#BringDougHome because he isn't a snake like Brad.

And he seems cool with being second fiddle.

But why are we in this situation in the first place? Whose fault is it?
Yes, Underwood was underpaid, but he seemed understanding of that. I mean, he did sign the contract. So isn’t it athletic director Mike Holder’s fault for not getting a deal done?
Mike Holder needs to be FIRED…

So you screw up and pay FORD a kings ransom for garbage and to "Correct" your mistake you low ball one of the hottest coaches in the nation.

Underwood called Holder's bluff. https://t.co/45VPM7c9eC
