A massive domino in the 2025 coaching carousel appears to have fallen, as ESPN insider Pete Thamel reports that the Oklahoma State Cowboys have fired their longtime head coach, Mike Gundy.
The move comes on the heels of the Cowboys’ shocking 19-13 upset loss to the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes this past Friday, as well as a 69-3 beatdown by the No. 6 Oregon Ducks in Week 3.
Reports had circulated coming into the season that Gundy was on thin ice out in Stillwater, and it looks as though that ice has all finally melted beneath longtime Pokes’ head coach.
Gundy was a born-and-bred Oklahoma State man, and he bled orange and black more than just about anybody else who has ever been affiliated with the university. He was their star quarterback in the mid-80s and spent over a decade as an assistant coach with the program during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Following Les Miles’ departure for LSU, Gundy was eventually given the reins of the program as head coach back in 2005 and led the Cowboys for the next 21 seasons. During that time, he racked up a program record 170 total wins, led the Cowboys to 18 bowl games, won the Big 12 Coach of the Year Award three times, and guided the program to its only conference title in the last 50 years, achieved back in 2011.
Now, for the first time in over 2 decades, Oklahoma State will kick off a search for a new head football coach, and Gundy will no longer be seen roaming the sidelines of Boone-Pickens Stadium on Saturdays in the fall.
This may not have been the ending to the Gundy era in Stillwater that he, the fans, or the university would have liked, but there’s no denying he has left his mark more so than any other coach in program history.
