With Football season right around the corner, we here at Dejuiced! have decided to take a look at the coaches in the NFL and college football to see how well the fans approve of them. Today we look at Mike Gundy.

Before we start looking at Coach Gundy, I’ll get it out of the way. “He’s a man!” OK – I’m done. However, that was one of the all-time classic press conferences in college football. It was one that he would rather rip the media than talk about his team’s win over Texas Tech. But press conferences like that don’t help you keep your job. Sure, it earns you a little respect and a LOT of face time on TV and the Internet, but doesn’t keep you on the sideline.

Gundy is 18-19 in his three seasons in Stillwater as the head coach. He’s led the Cowboys to back-to-back bowl game wins after posting a 4-7 mark in his first season. Yet, now is the time for him to prove that he can take OSU to that next level.

Gundy has one of the most exciting quarterbacks to watch in college football, in Zac Robinson. And the Cowboys have a pretty soft non-conference schedule in 2008, which includes Missouri State, Houston, Troy and the season opener at Washington State. However, the Cowboys will play three of their toughest conference foes all on the road (Missouri, Texas and Texas Tech). The Cowboys do catch a break in their conference schedule by hosting both Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Entering his fourth season, we should be seeing Gundy’s recruits making an impact and begin moving up in the Big 12 standings. So, you tell us. Do you approve of Gundy as the head coach of Oklahoma State?
