Oklahoma State Plays First Game of Post-Gundy Era With Doug Meacham as Interim Coach

A donor-focused call for investment signals NIL pressures now shaping the next phase in Stillwater.

Overview

  • Meacham leads the Cowboys against Baylor on Saturday in his debut after Mike Gundy’s midweek dismissal.
  • Today ends a run of 309 consecutive Oklahoma State games with Gundy on the sideline, per On3’s Brett McMurphy.
  • Former players blasted the firing’s timing as disrespectful, with one calling it “total bulls--t,” according to ESPN reporting.
  • A 30-day transfer-portal window opened with the move, and four-star in-state running back Kaydin Jones decommitted within hours, per reports.
  • Athletic director Chad Weiberg urged greater “investment” in a public statement, and he is reported to have secured a new four-year contract.
