The end of an era.
Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy has been fired immediately, sources told ESPN‘s Pete Thamel on Tuesday, September 23. Gundy, 58, had just embarked on his 21st season as head coach at his alma mater, and his removal from the program comes just days after the Cowboys lost to Tulsa.
This decision also comes after Gundy publicly stated that he intended to remain the fearless leader of the Pokes beyond the 2025 season.
“I’m under contract, here, for I think 3½ years. When I was hired here to take this job, ever since that day, I’ve put my heart and soul into this, and I will continue to do that until at some point, if I say I don’t want to do it or if somebody else says we don’t want you to do it.”
The university’s choice to fire Gundy results in Oklahoma State owing him $15 million.
This news is shocking to college football fans everywhere, as Gundy is the second-longest Football Bowl Subdivision head coach. He’s had an incredible run with the Cowboys. However, the Cowboys have been on a downward spiral since the end of the 2023 season.
As an Oklahoma State alumnus, I must admit that this is a weird yet exciting time. Many of my college memories are surrounded by the electric atmosphere that Gundy created in Boone Pickens Stadium. However, it’s been absolutely brutal to watch as a fan lately. After the Oregon State beatdown, this meme perfectly described my feelings during our bye week, only to be smacked again by Tulsa.

Regardless, you hate to see the university fire a coach that has poured his career into the Cowboys’ success, and the highs and lows that came with it. Gundy was an integral part of the program’s success, and it’s shocking to see him let go before the Big 12 opener against Baylor this weekend.
Since news of his firing broke, many fans are reliving some of his best moments, like “I’M A MAN! I’M 40!” and giving their commentary on what the final nail in the coffin was. I will be interested to see who steps up as the Pokes’ next head coach, with Texas State coach GJ Kinne and Texas A&M offensive coordinator Collin Klein, among others, being discussed as potential successors to Gundy.
The end of an era.

Thanks for the memories

Thank you, Coach. For everything.
I grew up on Mike Gundy football. Some of my best memories are Oklahoma State football’s rise to fame.
This program wouldn’t be anywhere close to what it is without him.
Forever a Cowboy. Forever a legend. Build the statue.
