Oklahoma State has fired head coach Mike Gundy after 21 seasons, per On3’s Chris Low and Pete Nakos. The Cowboys didn’t win a Big 12 game in 2024 and struggled out of the gate in 2025.

Gundy was in the midst of his 21st season as the head coach at his alma mater, where he became the winningest coach in program history. However, it’s been a rough go the last two seasons as Oklahoma State won just three games in 2024 – none of which came in conference play.

The 2025 season saw another rough go, including a blowout loss to Oregon in Week 2. Now, the program is going in another direction and moving on from its all-time winningest coach. Oklahoma State will owe a $15 million buyout .

Gundy played quarterback at Oklahoma State from 1986-89 before getting into coaching with the Cowboys. He started out as wide receivers coach in 1990 and coached quarterbacks from 1991-93. He was then promoted to offensive coordinator in 1994 before returning to quarterbacks in 1995.
