Oklahoma State football coach contract details

November 30, 2024

Mike Gundy is in the midst of his worst season in Oklahoma State football, raising questions about the Cowboys’ future.

Oklahoma State (3-8, 0-8 Big 12) is on an eight-game losing streak and will miss a bowl game for the first time since 2005, Gundy’s first year at the helm. The Cowboys opened the season as one of the top contenders in the Big 12, but had yet to win a conference game before their season finale against Colorado.

While Gundy said he plans to return next season, as we know, things can change quickly in college football.

“There’s no way the old lady is letting me retire,” Gundy said after OSU’s loss to Texas Tech in Week 13. “I have just as much energy now as I did when I took this job. Most of you think I’m crazy, and I am, but when I get up around 5:30 in the morning I start thinking about football.

“And even though we’re in a really tough situation here, the likes of which we haven’t seen in 18 years, I’m excited to come to work tomorrow and try to find a way to beat Colorado.”

Here are Gundy’s transfer and contract details in the event he were unexpectedly fired after his 20th season as the Cowboys’ coach:
