The approval comes after a 3-9 season in which the Cowboys lost all nine conference games and some drama that led to Mike Gundy restructuring his contract.

Entering his 21st year, Mike Gundy will no longer have tenure atop the Oklahoma State football program. Following the worst season of his 20-tenure tenure, Mike Gundy will coach 2025 on a reduced contract that makes it easier for Oklahoma State to identify and compensate a potential successor.
