How Todd Monken leaving for Southern Miss affects the Oklahoma State quarterbacks

Ok. I recant and stand corrected. I didn’t realize that Lunt would be ineligible to play at S. MS., so I am inclined to agree with Bob that Lunt won’t leave. However considering Bob may be correct in that I may not be thinking straight, I thought and thought, and, well, I have to recant my recant. While it is true Lunt may not go, I’ve come to believe it may be because Monken who truly appears to cares about others may suggest to Lunt that it is in Lunt’s best interest to stay. But is it? Lunt has to decide if he wants to trust his future to a friend of the family as one writer for the DOK put it or Mike Gundy. I believe Wes has already demonstrated a clear confidence and trust in Mr. Monken’s guidance by choosing to come under Monken’s tutelage, and that is not going to change no matter what school Monken is coaching at. Advantage—Monken Will young Mr. Lunt decide to stay at OSU because it is a “BCS Conference” school? Umm—What BCS bowl is OSU playing in? I seem to remember a little school called Boise State from a non “BCS Conference” whooping the dogsnot out of another school in said “BCS Conference.” Not suggesting Southern Miss is going to a BCS bowl next year, but I do believe pro scouts do a tireless job scouring all the college ranks and it is entirely possible that Mr. Monken already has more respect and better communication within the pro ranks than Mr. Gundy does. But Wes has a better chance of winning a national championship if he sticks with OSU, and Gundy who has proven he knows how to bring a program to the upper elite echelon of all of college football. Now that’s a loaded statement. The Truth is that OSU has a better chance of reaching a top tier BCS bowl game if Lunt stays. Contingent on Gundy being able to recognize as Gina says “Lunt is still the ideal prototype to run that system.” He didn’t see it this year; he didn’t see it with Weeden who was his 3rd stringer for 3 years and seemingly played him only when he had no other choice. Isn’t Weeden the only QB from OSU to go on to starting in the NFL? I could say so much more about Gundy, but it pains me to publicly bash on a fellow Midwest City Boy. Suffice it to say, I find it amazing that in a 100+ years of OSU football the only QB I am aware of that had the talent to go from playing at OSU one year to starting in the NFL the next year was held down to 3rd string by what appeared to me to be the act of a petty, vindictive, disciplinarian (read “little dictator”) coach. Then again, amazingly, OSU, again has a bright young prospect that has all the athletic ability, talent, skills, possibly a better foundation upon which to build, and in my estimation a higher upside than the recently departed starting NFL QB, Brandon Weeden, and then again the most talented QB is demoted to 3rd string. Simply amazing. I was not too surprised that Gundy did not hold himself accountable to the same disciplinarian rules he demands of those under him (little dictators never do) when he broke his own rule of starters not losing job due to injury, but I was a bit shocked when he added insult to injury to the most talented and, as Gina says, the prototype QB on the team and demoted Wes Lunt to 3rd string. And what was up with that Walsh-Bell-Dozer package? What OSU needed was a QB who could stretch the field with the long ball, but the best QB for that had been demoted to 3rd string.
