I'm not sure if we have a problem with the program or a couple years of unsatisfactory results, but I don't like the results. There is, however, a difference in being dissatisfied in the outcome and behaving in a childish manner in an internet forum to express my displeasure.
Honestly the odd thought I've had for the last couple weeks is how frustrated I am we lost games in the last 10 years when we had our chances. I say that only because I believe every program is going to have its ups and downs and I think (or maybe hope) we're in an ebb right now with better days ahead. From a talent/experience standpoint, the last 2 years make sense for us to be rebuilding.

Why should we be rebuilding after years of success. We should be reloading, not rebuilding. Rebuilding suggests that somewhere along the line, things were ignored, allowed to dip and neglected. Our recruiting should have been better and easier. We should have attracted more talented players wanting to play for an up and coming OSU. Yet, look at the recruiting results. They don't lie. As much as we'd love to say we don't need the 4 and 5 star players, there are too many more successful programs that show that attitude ridiculous to ignore.
Our results since 2011 are pathetic.

KU just lost to Texas in Austin 50-48 on a last-second field goal. They outplayed Texas and they look damn good. We’re likely not getting to 6-6 this year. 5-7 looks more like a real possibility.
Give the Mad Hatter two recruiting classes and he’ll be in the top of the Big 12 every year fighting it out with OU and Texas. On the other hand we look to be headed toward Bob SimmonsVille....

Sorry but blue-bloods reload and we are just not there. Defense and the offensive line were neglected too long to reload. I like the progress on our offensive line with Coach Dickey given the talent but the jury is out on the defense. Defense has shown flashes so not sure if talent or schemes are the issue. We also replaced a mediocre XFL qb with a redshirt freshman under a new coordinator. All looks like rebuilding to me.

His overall record is really impressive. Gundy deserves a lot of credit for that. At the same time, we just came off a decade where UT found a way to under achieve dramatically, even OU wasn't up to their national championship level. Boone and others gave unprecedented amounts to lift the program.
So you can point to win loss records and compare to our mediocre past but as each year passes it appears the stats in favor of Gundy will have to lean heavily on our decade which will fade further and further in the rear view mirror.
I honestly don't know what the answer is, and it's hard for me to make the jump to the fire Gundy crowd, but I understand the frustration.
