Mike Gundy has been dismissed by Oklahoma State just three games into his 21st season with the program amid a 1-2 start. According to The Athletic's Justin Williams, Oklahoma State owes Gundy $15 million because he was fired within the first three years of his recently restructured contract. After stints with Baylor and Maryland, Gundy returned to Oklahoma State as assistant head coach offensive coordinator in 2001 before taking over as head coach in 2005. Oklahoma State had posted just four winning seasons in 16 years prior to the program's decision to promote Gundy in 2005. Gundy spent a total of more than 34 years with Oklahoma State as a player or a member of the coaching staff.
