Tom Herman of Texas and Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State are a coaching contrast. Once upon a time, Herman arrived as the celebrated genius that would restore Texas glory. Gundy brings a twang, mullet, and common man’s vernacular to the OSU job. While Herman is renowned for his alleged brilliance Gundy is a good old boy. Yet its Herman under fire with his struggling Texas program. Gundy has proven he can adjust when necessary as a coach. OSU’s once derided defense has become an asset for College Football betting games. Oklahoma State hosts Texas on Saturday.
