Mike Gundy to Stay at Oklahoma State After Agreeing to Restructured Contract

The longtime head coach accepted a significant pay cut as part of a deal that reallocates funds to player NIL initiatives following a disappointing 3-9 season.

Overview

  • Oklahoma State and Mike Gundy reached an agreement on a restructured contract after tense negotiations, ensuring his return for a 21st season in 2025.
  • The revised deal reduces Gundy's $7.75 million annual salary and buyout, with funds redirected to support NIL opportunities for players.
  • The Cowboys endured their worst season under Gundy in 2024, finishing 3-9 overall and winless in Big 12 play, ending an 18-year streak of bowl appearances.
  • Oklahoma State dismissed offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn and defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo earlier this week as part of broader program changes.
  • Gundy, the winningest coach in school history, faced criticism for public comments during the season but retains support from key university leadership.
