Oklahoma State attempting to strongarm Gundy out of a job (attached his record for reference).

All you have to do is claim ‘for cause ‘, knowing it isn’t right . It puts the onus on the coach to lawyer up and usually leads to a settlement
Maybe bought him 2025 , ultimately. They had a ton of injuries this yr …including their best defensive player . I think he’s a bounce back candidate for s decent ‘25 at OSU
That would normally only happen if each side doesn't want to continue, but knowing it's too costly to sever things unilaterally.
I totally ignore statements from Stoops or Barnhart, they mean absolutely zero. All coaches want to be there until they don't and all ADs give coaches on the hot seat the dreaded voice of approval. IMO even insiders would not be aware of a crack until it comes.
I’m not a lawyer, I’ll take your word for that. All I’m saying is that there would be no talk of a restructured contract if they had a morally legitimate reason to fire him for cause. That’s just pure BS.
ALAMABAMA AND LSU were, but I think the poster may have meant more seriously considered in the discussion. There have been a lot more years the SEC Championship was the title game, maybe more so than the BCS.
True. He took the restructuring….which savings will ultimately be directed to NIL, which ought to improve his roster. So everyone should benefit
“On3’s Pete Nakos also reported Oklahoma State planned to cut Gundy’s base salary and re-allocate those funds to going all-in on NIL, should he agree. If Gundy didn’t, the school would terminate his contract”. 🤔
OSU and UK are not comparable.
"Oklahoma State claims one national championship in 1945 (awarded by the AFCA) in addition to eleven conference championships, and the team has also appeared in 34 bowl games, amassing a 22-12 bowl game record, which include 5 victories in New Year's Six bowl games."
UK has won 10 games 3 times total. No conference titles. One claimed title not given by anyone in the media that I know of...
Oklahoma is a football state surrounded by football states. They have history and tradition in football. They have Heisman trophy winner and tons of All-Americans.
"The Cowboys have produced 66 All-Americans with 50 being first-team (20 consensus, 8 unanimous) selections. Running back Barry Sanders won the Heisman Trophy in 1988, and the school has had 8 former players and coaches inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame."

Recruiting now @ OSU against the much wealthier SEC teams Texas & Oklahoma ( previously big 12) has changed the landscape at OK State a lot and in a hurry. Recruits in talent rich OK and TX simply have better opportunities and deals In the SEC..throw in SEC’s Texas A&M also
They've always had those issues, though. It's more about money now and OSU has an easier path to the playoff than any SEC school.
I read where T Boone Pickens endowed the OSU athletic dept about $300 milion in his will . That’s where the money stays in Pickens heirs name , but OSU Athletics gets to keep the monthly interest. That much, invested conservatively, should give them >$1 million per month income for NIL or whatever
Mike Gundy apologizes for saying negative Oklahoma State fans 'can't pay their own bills'
Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy had to issue an apology after comments he made about some Cowboys' fans this week.

Good agent would include attorney fee provision in favor of coach... i.e. fire me "for cause" I challenge and prevail, you pay my legal bills on top of contract. I'd be surprised if many don't.
