The veteran coach, who transformed the Cowboys program since taking over in 2005, now faces mounting pressure after a series of setbacks that culminated in fan protests during a September 19 home game against Tulsa.
Recent Performance Issues:
- 69-3 defeat against Oregon following pregame tensions
- Loss to Tulsa, marking their first road victory in Stillwater since 1951
- 3-9 record during the previous season
- Lackluster season opener against UT Martin despite a victory
The situation deteriorated significantly during the Tulsa matchup when Oklahoma State football supporters began voicing their frustrations audibly.
With the Golden Hurricane maintaining a 19-12 advantage late in the fourth quarter, spectators at Boone Pickens Stadium initiated chants calling for the head coach’s dismissal. These demonstrations occurred sporadically throughout the contest and gained national attention through television coverage.
Gundy’s legacy includes substantial achievements that previously solidified his position. The Midwest City native has compiled a 12-6 bowl game record and elevated a previously struggling program to national relevance. His two-decade leadership transformed Oklahoma State into a competitive force within college football.
The current climate reflects broader trends across the sport, where coaching changes have become increasingly common. Recent dismissals at other institutions demonstrate the volatile nature of college football employment, regardless of past accomplishments. The Cowboys’ recent struggles, combined with vocal fan dissatisfaction, suggest that even established coaches with strong historical records face scrutiny when immediate results decline.
The coaching situation in Stillwater represents a pivotal moment for both Gundy and the Oklahoma State football program’s future direction.
