Oklahoma State Fires Mike Gundy After 21 Seasons as Doug Meacham Takes Interim Role

AD Chad Weiberg calls it a long-term reboot with a $15 million buyout.

Overview

  • Weiberg informed Gundy on Tuesday morning and said the decision prioritized the program’s long-term direction.
  • A national search for a permanent coach will be led by Weiberg, while Meacham coaches Saturday against Baylor and strength coach Rob Glass oversees administrative duties.
  • The move followed a steep downturn that included a 3-9 record in 2024, a 69-3 loss at Oregon this month, and a defeat to Tulsa.
  • Recruiting fallout began within hours as 2026 prospects decommitted, including three-star offensive tackle Aiden Martin reopening his recruitment.
  • Gundy plans to continue coaching, with brother Cale saying he intends to join him on a future staff.
