According to a team source, Oklahoma State approached Gundy with a restructured contract after a 3-9 season — the worst of his 20 at the helm — during which Gundy sparked outrage by saying the team’s critics were the same people “that can’t pay their own bills” and are “not taking care of their own job” last month. As soon as we have it tied down, we’ll inform you.” The university approached Gundy with a restructured contract, and there were discussions about firing Gundy for cause, a team source told The Athletic. Gundy’s 169 career wins, all with Oklahoma State, rank fifth among active college football coaches, and he is the second-longest-tenured coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision behind Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz.
