For the first time in two decades, Mike Gundy isn’t the Oklahoma State Cowboys' coach.
While this season has gotten off to a poor start and this past season was Gundy’s worst, there is a reason he was trusted as the head man for so long.
At a press conference Tuesday, OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg complimented Gundy’s history of success, despite the firing.
“We are forever grateful to Mike Gundy,” Weiberg said. “As head coach, he led the Cowboys to the best era of sustained success in program history, highlighted by a Big 12 championship in 2011, five New Year's Six bowl appearances and eight 10-win seasons.
