He got cucked.

Reduced his salary and reduced his buyout, despite having had two losing seasons in 20 years.

On the flip side he gets to keep his job after going 0-9 in conference

This says he's been fired.

LINK

quote:

Following a disaster of a season, it was reasonable to assume that significant changes would quickly come to Oklahoma State. Accordingly, on December 4 the Cowboys fired both their offensive and defensive coordinators. On December 6, in a move that may have just saved college football as we know it, they announced Mike Gundy would be ending his 20-year tenure as the head coach of the football team.


quote:

The ramifications of this contract being signed could have completely shaken the college football coaching world as we know it.

OUInsider's Travis Davidson made an interesting point on this matter.

“If they’re able [force Gundy into this new contract], no University with lawyers worth their salt will ever pay a buyout again. Just say ‘We want to restructure your deal and if you refuse we’ll fire you for cause and void your buyout.’” Davidson tweeted.

Needless to say, Gundy refused and, as of Friday, is out of a job.


quote:

The avoidance of this negotiating precedent may have just saved coaching contract negotiations as we know them. At least for now.


Is it possible MSN doesn't know what they're talking about? After all, MSNBC is such a reliable source of information

That's not from MSNBC, it's syndicated from The Sporting News. Hilariously, the author is a "Freelance writer" and current student at Auburn, according to his TSN bio page. Which is probably why that article looked like it was written by AI.

That's the state of print journalism today, letting AI write the article and then posting without proofreading or fact checking.

Doesn't matter to me but seems like OSU should take the opportunity to move on. Gundy does not like recruiting and never really has. T Boone even was disappointed in his recruitment energy and effort. I like Gundy but seems like that has run its course. Nothing against OSU. I hope he gets them turned around in the Big 12.
