Shockwaves were sent through Oklahoma State’s campus on Tuesday with the firing of longtime coach Mike Gundy.

For most students, Gundy is the only man they know leading the Cowboys. Despite the fact that Gundy was at the helm for more than 20 years, some students think that the firing was due.

“Where we’re at in the season, I think it was probably best for us,” Nathan Harbeson said. “Hearing how it ended last week with the ‘Fire Gundy’ chants, having recruits and potential donors hearing that for another five games probably wouldn’t be great.”

OSU student James Lewis is unsure of the timing of the firing.
