Mike Gundy’s time in Stillwater, Oklahoma, is not yet coming to a close.
Reports on Saturday morning indicated that Gundy and Oklahoma State football had agreed on a restructured contract to keep the Stillwater mainstay at Oklahoma State. Gundy, 57, will return for his 21st season with the Cowboys in 2025.
PokesReport.com was the first to report Gundy, and the university had agreed on a restructured deal. The terms of the agreement are not immediately known, nor has the university confirmed it. But this comes on the heels of a Friday morning special meeting of the Oklahoma A&M College Board of Regents in which Gundy’s contract status was discussed.
While no action was taken at the end of the meeting, The Oklahoman reported and confirmed Gundy had been offered a restructured contract, which included a pay cut and other restrictions for him to remain the Cowboys coach.

According to the USA TODAY Sports coaches database, Gundy was the 17th-highest-paid coach during the 2024 college football season at $7.75 million and was set to be paid $7.875 million for the 2025 season. However, the new restructure will change that number.
In his first 20 years in Stillwater, Gundy has posted a 169-88 overall record and a 102-72 Big 12 record. He is the winningest coach in Cowboys history. However, Oklahoma State is coming off a 3-9 2024 season in which OSU did not win a single conference game. Coordinators Kasey Dunn (offensive) and Bryan Nardo (defensive) were fired on Wednesday.
