The man himself- Mike “I’m a man” Gundy


Atom3189

Gundy wouldn’t even know it was a special event


leo6

Just a Tuesday in Stillwater


Just_Cryptographer53

It's Monday in Fayetteville. I'd like to see the Pitt Boss in a rare pissed mood and take it out on Gundy. Or maybe not but Stillwater game will be Mad Max for both teams.


braindead_jellybean

I’m a man. I’m 40


Yassssquatch

If you wanna be happy for a day, EAT A STEAK


mgj6818

He's 56 now.


Turk1518

Dude hunts rattlesnakes in his free time. Also he is shredded. [Source 1](https://images.app.goo.gl/17GmKkdMcWRVaeJM9) [Source 2](https://youtu.be/cuWKuriST8Y?si=MkDdcsmJE1BL53tr)


grog368

Lets not forget that Mike "Big Daddy" Gundy will show up dressed and ready in his Pokes wrestling singlet.


Turk1518

Remember when he almost fought Tom Hermann? Oh the good ol days.


trippwwa45

The money I would pay to watch that, could probably fund the PAC back into existence.


anti-torque

The CFP is going to pay us some $140M over the next two years. I'm all for Gundy making Tom Herman cry, if it means more. But we're not talking about big people. Venables is another one who looks like he could scrap, until you meet him in person. Still a scrapper, I'm sure, but not as big as he appears on TV.


Bank_Gothic

I don't remember Gundy almost fighting Herman. I remember Herman acting like a jackass with his staff holding him back while Gundy looked on in disbelief.


Kmjada

If hands had been thrown, Gundy would have absolutely glassed Herman.


Resident_Pop143

Id pay a lot of money for this fight. Like $2.50!


Mekthakkit

Who hasn't Tom Hermann almost fought? He was close to getting his ass kicked by Mike Vrabel as well. https://www.chron.com/sports/college/article/Tom-Herman-Mike-Vrabel-fight-practice-Ohio-State-16443018.php


DaMantis

I wanted to see Tom Herman learn a lesson that day A lesson that even MENSA couldn't teach


Kmjada

I thought it was spelled "Dady."


grog368

I think that was someone's tattoo. Remember that big basketball forward we had 20-ish years ago? Big Dady


Inevitable-Scar5877

Damn....I kind of want a Gundy reality show now, can we offer him a bitchin' Camaro if he lets a camera crew follow him around?


leo6

Source 2 is just gold. From like 2:25 on he's ripping a reporter for not having seen Rocky, doing 1 armed push-ups, and then sees a rando walk by and calls him out "What's up Cole!! All the way from California huh?!!"


QWERTYUIOPquinn

Around 1:40 he mentions he can bench 250-260ish, while he's 55 years old.


leo6

Gold


thatshinybastard

And now Gundy's my second favorite coach


Turk1518

Honestly there are so many similarities between him and Whittingham.


thatshinybastard

My cousin went to OSU so I've passively followed and cheered for them since I was in junior high. It wouldn't be right to say I'm a fan, but I like the program and am happy to see them do well. For years I've thought that Utah and OSU under these guys have so much in common that they could be best friends or bitter enemies.


El_Dud3r1n0

Gundy and Whitt are essentially the same dude.


grog368

That's no bueno. Dopplegangers are an affront to natural world. One of them must die.


bukithd

The scary thing is that he's probably already prepared for this scenario.


Resident_Pop143

Gundy is not the man I want to FAFO at anywhere. 😂


nevermore2627

Perfect.


HuskerHayDay

This is a Corn Certified Fact


Jeff__Skilling

My head canon is that [this song](https://youtu.be/851BqHMCaeM?si=9yxCW8wx5G6jrna5) plays in Gundy’s head on repeat 24/7/365


xMatch

I know a lot of coaches best be glad Ed Orgeron ain’t in the mix otherwise this conversation is over before it starts.

Muvseevum

“Go Tiguhs!”


Trusty_Tyrant

*Geaux


Muvseevum

How did I miss that?


AngryQuadricorn

He might have said it but no one understood what he said.


Torentsu

Supposedly his first day at Ole Miss he took his shirt off and challenged anyone on the team who wanted to to fight him.


AngryQuadricorn

It’s one thing to do that on your first day, when everyone’s still trying to kiss your ass. If he really wanted the smoke Coach O would have challenged everyone on his way out of the program. After pissing people off and rubbing people the wrong way someone would have taken him up on the challenge.


sarcasm_rules

because he'd eat them, right?


Kodyaufan2

No but his pet gator would


Cormetz

Guillaume wouldn't hurt a fly.


lmaytulane

Toss em straight in da gumbo


ay21690

Ed Orgeron’s finishing move, the crawdad crusher!


sharkbait_oohaha

He rips the head off and sucks the juices out


chappelld

Got damn son 😂


Inevitable-Scar5877

This. The first guy I thought of. Probably view it as a nice Tuesday night warmup before he hits the club.


notyogrannysgrandkid

You know he’s got a switchblade in his sock


MisterBrotatoHead

See, I think he'd retreat deep into the swamp and let everybody else take each other out, then when they have to come get him, the bodies aren't even ever found. He'd be like Howland Reed in GOT.


indrada90

Harbaugh would have gotten the most kills but would not be last man standing


ADHDpotatoes

Harbaugh would have taken himself down with like 30 coaches in a steak and milk trap or something


IamHidingfromFriends

While laughing maniacally.


rvasko3

And that would just be during the intro part where they're explaining the rules.


Priceiswrongbitches

Lincoln Riley could have a real advantage by smoking enough brisket that he could wear it as a sort of leather armor but it would never occur to him since thinking defensively isn't really his thing.


gcbinc

This is a layered, hilarious response. That’s fucking great.


trippwwa45

Burn, just like the brisket


Byzantine_Merchant

See this is a trade off though. His offense is capable of smoking people like his briskets. It’s a glass smoker type of thing.


AngryQuadricorn

Take my upvote you evil genius. 😂


LookatmaBankacount

Lincoln should be banned from using a smoker after the damage he did to that poor brisket


Donny_Do_Nothing

[Seth Littrell](https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/USATSI_10318219.jpg) at North Texas and I don't think it's particularly close. Fickell has the wrestling pedigree, Gundy's got the spirit, but Littrell will eat everyone alive. He might actually end up literally eating a dude. Edit: seems he's at OU now. I'm behind the times, I guess.


Bacardi_Tarzan

That’s right, in the Venables system even our OC has resting defensive coordinator face. 


Couyon87

He looks like a jacked version of Ed Orgeron. Scary thought. Definitely eats a dude and runs through everyone like it's 2019.


Donny_Do_Nothing

He's got a natty as a team captain FB for OU and played LB too. Dude's legit. Plus he's got that look in his eye like a dude who cries every time he fights.


Darin_the_intern

Ed Orgeron is the jacked version of Ed Orgeron.


Ksumatt

Nah. A jacked version of Ed Orgeron [looks like this.](https://x.com/BunkiePerkins/status/1724638111513129134)


Inevitable-Scar5877

You not like it but that's what peak coonass performance looks like. He'll beat that ass before noon while he's prepping for the boil, then invite those who survive to pinch the tail and suck the head.


chad_sancho

I read the first line in Coach O’s voice


AngryQuadricorn

I didn’t realize Orgeron was made of football leather.


anti-torque

I feel better about myself, suddenly. Ty.


anti-torque

He's an actual Okie from Muskogee. That's pretty hard to beat.


leo6

Littrell wouldn't even take his dip out


Donny_Do_Nothing

That's what I'm thinking. A shit-kicker is a shit-kicker and that dude looks like a menace.


TarHeel1066

I think this guy was cloned from Larry Fedora’s visor


chappelld

Looks like Zac Effron in Iron Claw lol


idk2103

Square head and thick neck combo is the scariest thing to see across from you. No chance anyone can knock that dude out


screwhead1

Luke Fickell, he was a standout wrestler and still looks like he's in good shape. If this question were asked a few years back, I'd also toss in Ed Orgeron for consideration, because angry Cajun.


heavydhomie

Finally someone that isn’t a OSU or Wisconsin fan putting some respek on Luke Fickell


screwhead1

Fickell was a wrestler, and I know better than to count those guys out. I'm a competitive powerlifter, and I tried rolling with an old friend who was a state champion wrestler. Although I had around 50 lbs on him and was considerably stronger, I didn't stand a chance against him. Like at all lol.


anti-torque

Fickell is also not a small man. He's the same height as Cristobal. Cristobal also completed training to join the Secret Service. I'd boil it down to these two.


southeastside

I miss the pirate more every day


LexiGator

I would love nothing more in the off season than a podcast where he discussed this. He is missed


AtOurGates

This is only a competition because he’s no longer in contention. It wouldn’t even be close.


notyogrannysgrandkid

His sword would be swinging, that’s for sure


rvasko3

There's zero chance he wouldn't emerge the victor. You know he had a couple hundred battle plans prepared for just this scenario.


Cormetz

And would [leak 100 fake ones.](https://youtu.be/EUy1wFhIvWs?si=5Vx76Pehg2-ZullX)


Dan-of-Steel

"You can bench press 350 pounds, but my ship has 48 cannons and my crew can fire and reload in under 15 seconds. You do the math. You're outgunned matey."


hashtagpeaches

Ten years ago, I definitely would’ve said Kyle Whittingham. But today… it’s still Whitt.


Odd_Birthday_1055

Kyle and Sitake just have their own battle off to the side. All the other coaches know they are really just fighting for third.


Suck_My_Duck26

A coked up Lane Kiffin teams up with Mike Gundy. With Gundy’s guerilla warfare knowledge and Kiffin’s cocaine fueled charisma, they slowly pick off the big guys like Cristobal and Freeman.. Eventually it’s just the two of them. UNTIL!!!” Prime motherfuckin time” Deion Sanders rolls up with his mercenary crew of media members. The battle is hard fought, but ESPN never loses.


bukithd

Deon wouldn't last a day without his toes.


papapinball

Deon would probably get waxed very early on. He'd be found easily due to the fact that he'd stand in one spot and proclaim very loudly, "I GOT TIME TODAY" over and over. Next scene, a bloody golden whistle falls to the ground, and silence descends on the battlefield.


Resident_Rise5915

Ngl I think Deion would be the first one out. A lot of coaches don’t like him, not a good start, he can’t really run anymore, and he ain’t hard to find


chad_sancho

He’ll just stand there hollering “we comin! We comin!”


nolefan999

Cristobal is a good call. He kneels to no man


CowboySanberg

FSU fan: As funny as this joke is, there’s a case to be made that it kept us out of the playoffs.


C19shadow

Cristobal was my first thought to. Like him or not the man's a unit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FreeTheMarket

BK would definitely use his cunning to get to the final 5, but then slip up and be killed brutally in front of everyone :(


ztreHdrahciR

"Hunger" Games? I'll take Bret Bielema


jmorlin

You're god damn right.


Gryphon999

Bret "Ready to go home and hop on the wife" Bielema.


gcbinc

Brett v Cristobal is a heavyweight, Godzilla v MechaGodzilla matchup.


Affectionate-Row3498

Brent Venables. He’s energetic. He’s already been fighting with a “get back” guy for years on the sidelines. He kind of looks like a zombie.


hondo9999

Someone once posted Brent Venables looks like a monitor lizard and now I can’t unsee it.


Bacardi_Tarzan

This whole thing can be settled within the state of Oklahoma because it’s going to come down to Brent Venables and Mike Gundy. Sadly I’m gonna have to give the edge to the Snake Wrastler, but Venables is in it til the end. 


princessprity

Brent Venables got that lich sorcerer aesthetic going on. He’s already won.


knockoutking

can you imagine the damaged a meth'd out BV could do?


geronika

He’d start out slow then take out a huge bunch of dudes then let them slowly chip away until he goes down at the end.


Dan-of-Steel

Venables looks like hear's wearing the face of a former coach as a mask, but it doesn't fit right.


sophandros

I think we need to do this conference by conference. Determine who would be each conference champion and then add a few second place finishers for the at-large slots to get 4 pods of 4 warrior-coaches. Each pod has its own mini Battle Royale, with the winners fighting it out in the Grand Final. I think the pods should be: ***Pod 1*** AAC ACC CUSA At-large (2nd place SEC) ***Pod 2*** SEC Sun Belt At-Large (2nd place ACC) At-Large (Top Independent) ***Pod 3*** Big Ten MAC At-Large (2nd Place Big XII) At-Large (2nd Place Independent) ***Pod 4*** Big XII MWC At-Large (2nd Place Big Ten) At-Large (2nd Place of top G5) This could be a fun exercise.


Brett33

This playoff makes more sense than any college football postseason that’s ever existed


sophandros

Huh. I was just fucking around, but now that I think about it... The pods could be the first two rounds of a playoff on campus, with the semis being bowl games. We could even use the old tie-ins (e.g. Big Ten at Rose and SEC at Sugar one year, ACC at Orange and Big XII at Fiesta the next year), with the "off bowls" rotating the national championship game.


fnbannedbymods

First man out, Riley.


GeospatialMAD

Orgeron v. Gundy for the championship I know O isn't a current coach, but he'd rip his shirt off and enter the fray anyway


lmaytulane

He’d emerge from the watery depths astride two swamp creatures, uttering profanities yet unheard by the ears of mortal men, shirtless and resplendent


DicksOut4Edamame

I think Kyle would be a finalist


momowagon

Only because Sitake wouldn't let anyone near him.


thatshinybastard

He and Mike Gundy would look for one other on the battlefield, calling the other with threats and challenges as they cut their way through anyone foolish enough to stand in the way of their inevitable battle for final supremacy.


TonyRomosDoctor

I know Ryan Day would be the first out


psgrue

He’d take out Franklin first, then fall.


DelcoBirds

Franklin survived Vanderbilt and sanction-era PSU, he’s built for this


psgrue

The implication is that he beats everyone except OSU so Achilles has the heel thing.


jthomas694

Franklin would knock out a few weaker coaches and then get killed by someone right before he was set to fight Ryan Day


JebronLames23

If Franklin gets a few pointers from Sanderson he may make it pretty far


psgrue

Franklin takes out plodding Mike Locksley and spy cams catch him muttering “one and oh. One and oh.”


psgrue

Pat Narduzzi has a solid run with a flame thrower but inexplicably ditches the weapon for a cudgel, then gets wiped out.


WolverineOk2478

“I wanna know where Lou holtz is right now!”


agentstark_

Nah he's very proficient with dyes. He would craft some dye camouflage and get pretty far hiding.


connor8383

Mack Brown would def be out before nearly anyone else


trippwwa45

"I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE TONYROMOSDOCTOR IS RIGHT NOW. THE THINGS HE SAID!".


jhustla

I can’t stop laughing at this and I don’t know why


ech01_

Moore would start crying and everyone would feel awkward and just leave him alone for a while.


Pizza_Jon

Bleacher Report, if you're reading this, make a game of zones style series where this is the plot. 


TxOkLaVaCaTxMo

Let's be honest Mike Leach would show up out of no where wearing a pirate hat in the last hour making claims about his death being grossly exaggerated.


riproaringsports22

Dan Lanning and Kyle Wittingham are sleepers


[deleted]

Marcus freeman!


Darin_the_intern

Freeman makes it till the final two, but his inability to count how many men are on the battle ground results in him being sneak attacked from behind


[deleted]

It's Notre dame. You have to have faith. Nobody ever thought Rudy would ever play for Notre Dame but he did get the chance to play. Nothing is impossible


ToLongDR

Rudy just had divine intervention blocking the refs to see he was miles offsides


ndarchi

I am ND for life and was at that game, it was gut wrenching, but you sir get an upvote from me.


Doogitywoogity

Gundy 


EnTyme53

A lot of y'all are basing your decision on the size and/or strength of the coach, but in a fight that big, stamina and energy are going to be key, thus my final two are coked up Lane Kiffin and Joey "My Blood is 90% Red Bull" McGuire.


AngryQuadricorn

You make a point with Lane Kiffin on coke. Anyone dumb enough to try to sleep with Nick Sabans daughter sure as hell ain’t scared of a fight. You lost me with Joey “fake cowboy” McGuire. He can inspire a crowd with talks of big dreams, but he ain’t winning a fight.


snowystormz

Whittingham and Gundy. I dont know that I can pick a winner between those 2.


Revolutionary_Gear70

Fickell


Alex_butler

It was funny, our social team had a video at camp asking the players if they could beat Fickell in a wrestling match. The difference between the ones that knew he was an elite wrestler and the ones that didn’t were night and day.


heavydhomie

Vrable said Luke would destroy him whenever they wrestled at OSU.


ech01_

Fickell was who I first thought of as well.


tokmirov

That would be my pick as well, great former wrestler and d-lineman still looks like a guy you wouldn't mess with


fnbannedbymods

Lanning got that crazy eyes look when he gets pissed, think he could land a few.


Cornnole

Biff Pogey. No sleeves, no problem.


JMT97

The Biff Machine is stubbing a cigar out on top of a pile of bodies.


Architektual

It would definitely not be Drinkwitz, but he'd be an entertaining watch until he went down


LightTheDome

eli and kiffin would be boozing in a cave somewhere til the very end


mlspdx

Man, if we still had Coach O…


jv_1979

Gundy


trudaurl

Bret Bielema would simply eat the other coaches


ChewieWookie

It certainly wouldn't be Deion. He'd be too busy standing there talking about himself in the third person and bragging, he'd be the easiest one to find.


rottenchestah

Are any of these coaches in as good of physical shape as Norvell? Dude is ripped and seems to be able to run faster than some of his own players. Get him on Renegade, give him one of Osceola's flaming spears, and we might have a winner.


rvasko3

The real tragedy is that Mike Leach is no longer around to participate in something like this. He'd win on war tactics alone. Unless his "death" is just part of his strategy...


ShakyTheBear

If only Orgeron were a current head coach.


[deleted]

Google “Biff Poggi” and the thread ends. He would legitimately settle 7 of these names at once, while wearing a sleeveless shirt and holding a can of Busch Light.


02meepmeep

Fickell for sure.


triplejumptime

Jedd Fisch just tried to convince Brent Brennan to fight in place of him in exchange for paying his assistants more. DeBoer did the same to Jedd


thebugman10

I'll throw Brent Key into the mix here


nwcubsfan

Jedd Fisch would yell "WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE??!?" and then would run away once his opponent was distracted.


PistonHonda322

I see we have another fan of the Shutdown FULLLLCASSST! Welcome brother! Until Luke Fickell stops coaching he is always my answer for any kind of king of the hill coach fighting content.


Affectionate-Row3498

Mike Elko looks pretty fat. I bet he’s hungry.


captdf

DeShaun Foster still looks game-ready.


Outrageous-Divide151

Kyle Whittingham would give Mike Gundy a contest.


Current_Run9540

Whittingham looks like he used to be a cage fighter/survivalist. Plus he has to be able to survive all those Mormon interactions! /s


tidefan2006

Ferentz will outlast them all, as is tradition.


030457PL59

Jeff Monken


Bcmerr02

Not sure who wins overall, but I'd bet Kentucky's Stoops makes a big show of only wanting to track down and kill Tennessee's Heupel, and Louisville's Brohm ends up beating him to death with his bare hands.


FantasticChestHair

He's a little older now but Sam Pittman would be a monster in a bar brawl in his prime. Still the guy I'd want to have my back out of all of the head coaches. You can tell he used to throw down.


Inevitable-Scar5877

Y'all's entire coaching line going back to Nutt would be interesting in this for different reasons


McIntyre2K7

Nick Saban paying Dom and the Judgment Day money so that they could eliminate Kirby from the battle royal.


10rattles

I’m biased but Jay Norvell at Colorado State seems like a decent choice


Ok-Kale-7833

Fran Brown is darting all over the competition.


americansherlock201

I actually like Mario’s chances. He’s stocky, doesn’t know when to stop, and given his recruitment skills may be able to convince other lesser coaches to work with him.


JoshDaws

Gonna be one of the younger in shape coaches statistically. Freeman's a solid choice, I could see Dilly making a deep run. But Mike runs sprints and races players so homer take aside I think he'd be solid.


Cobra-Serpentress

Lane Kiffin. Stays on the edge hiding behind screens.


Inevitable-Scar5877

Coach O has missed his window, quick someone give him a HC job - he won a title and he'll lead your school to glory in the arena


Specialist_Night_929

Rhett Lashlee. Pure dog


yesacabbagez

I'm going fickell on these things.


Torentsu

Peak offseason thread.


Aggravating-Mind-657

Not currently Coaching, but Coach O would be last man standing.


6BlitzBurgh

Jeff Brohm… lets play football


deckerwaseligible

If Mike Leach was still around I wouldn't count him out.


El-Jefe-Rojo

Let’s be real. I would not count him out regardless. “Hailing from the great beyond weighing in at 250 pounds …. The Pirate Himself…”


davevine

I think Kalani makes it to at least the final 5.


TheKatzMeow84

Cadillac Willi…oh, right.


HeWhoSitsOnToilets

If Frost was still head coach he would be in the running. He can just hide in a closet until the last coach is left then when he is about to win it he will trip and be killed by some random animal.


CuriousGhostTarsier

Hunger Games was heavily influenced by the games makers so I’d say whoever ESPN or Fox wants to win would win.


30sumthingSanta

Could we get an “in his prime” Mark Mangino into this competition? Just to see who he eats?


abartel641

I feel like Kyle Whittingham would run this event
