Oklahoma State Fires Mike Gundy After 21 Seasons, Names Doug Meacham Interim Coach

OSU begins a multi-week search under AD Chad Weiberg following the elevation of Doug Meacham to interim coach.

Overview

  • Weiberg said Gundy was not offered the chance to finish the season and cited unmet competitive expectations after a 3-9 campaign in 2024 and a 1-2 start in 2025.
  • Recruiting fallout continued with at least four de-commitments reported, reducing the current class to roughly 11 pledges, according to On3.
  • Reports indicate the separation includes a buyout commonly cited at about $15 million, though the school has not formally confirmed the figure.
  • Gundy addressed players after practice with a final message to stay the course and beat Baylor, and his brother Cale said the coach intends to keep working with him alongside.
  • Early names in the coaching market include Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator and former OSU quarterback Zac Robinson, with Big 12 play starting Saturday against Baylor.
