Oklahoma State Coach Mike Gundi and Oregan Coach Dan Lanning is unexpectedly giving a week 2 matches between his teams between some extra juices.
Speaking at his radio show on Monday, Gundi said that Oklahoma State spent how much Oklahoma State has spent on its roster in recent years, in the last three years, Oklahoma State spent “about 7 million dollars” in its team.
“I think Oregon spent around $ 40 [million] Last year alone, “Gundi said.” So, it was just one year. Now, I can get away from a few million. ,
Gundi made several other comments about Oregon’s resources – he said “It will spend a lot of money to keep a duck quarterback” Dante Moore And he believes that Oregon’s budget should determine the programs they schedules outside the Big Ten.
“Oregon is paying a lot, there is a lot of money for his team,” Gundi said. “From the point of view of a non -dysfunction, the coaches say they need [play teams with similar budgets],
On Monday night during his weekly news conference, Lanning responded.
“If you want to be a top -10 team in college football, you will be better invested in winning. We spend to win,” Lanning said when asked about Gundi’s comments. “Some people save an excuse for why they don’t. … I can’t speak on their situation; I don’t know what they found in their pocket there.”
Lanning said he had “very respect” for Gundi and he praised how Gundi continuously led his team to win the season in his 20 -year tenure in Stillwater. Both teams are 1–0 in this season; The ducks are placed at number 7 and are expected to die for a place in the college football playoffs.
“In the last three to five years, he has elevated himself. He has a lot of resources,” Gundi said. “They have excluded them very well now.”
Last year, Georgia’s coach Kirby Smart referred to Oregon’s resources, stating in SEC Media Days that he wants him to have “some of the zero money” who are shared with Oregon alum and Nike founder Phil Night “with” Dan Lanning. “
“I think it is impressive that people like Kirbi are signing the number 1 class in the nation without any money,” Lanning said joking in response to Smart during Big Ten Media days last year. “Obviously, coach Smart took a little shot on us. But if you want to be a top -10 team in college football, you get better support. We have it.”
While Smart and Lanning had a tone of two coaches in Barbes, who worked together (Lanning was a defensive coordinator of Georgia from 2019 to 2021), was unpredictable with Gundi on Monday.
Regarding the Oklahoma State, Lanning said, “I am sure UT-Martin probably didn’t have much in his form last week, and he played.” “So, we will let it play.”
