Oklahoma State’s First Home Loss to Tulsa Since 1951 Triggers ‘Fire Gundy’ Chants

A revised contract with a reported $15 million buyout now frames the decision facing Oklahoma State.

Overview

  • Oklahoma State lost 19-12 to Tulsa, its first defeat to the Golden Hurricane since 1998 and first in Stillwater since 1951, dropping the Cowboys to 1-2.
  • Chants of “Fire Gundy” were clearly heard late in the game and captured on the ESPN broadcast as frustration boiled over in Stillwater.
  • Mike Gundy urged supporters to trust the process and said he has faith in his players and system despite the mounting backlash.
  • A January contract revision reportedly set a flat buyout of $15 million if Gundy is fired in the first three years and $10 million in the fourth year.
  • The slide includes a 69-3 loss at Oregon, an offense averaging 14.0 points per game (tied for 127th in FBS), and 11 straight losses to FBS opponents per CBS, with Big 12 play opening against Baylor on Sept. 27.
