Maybe not...?

FWIW, I’m told Mike Gundy wants more time to ponder the situation. It’s unclear if the board of regents are willing to give him the time. #OKState

He would still be highly sought after by a bigger program with more money

Seems a little harsh to can your all-time winningest coach after 1 bad year

It was more than that. After 1 bad year they pretty much forced his hand to

So, Gundy didn't restructure his contract. How much will OSU have to pay him under the contract if they fire him?

An arbitrator will determine that.

Link? I'd expect there to be a term in the contract that requires OSU to pay a set amount if Gundy is fired before

sure, but I'm sure there are other provisions like "duty to mitigate" which

They've been antsy for a while. He reset expectations, couldnt get over the hump

Odds they become the conference’s doormat are somewhat likely

Ok State ranks #6 in NIL $670 Million - ticked off boosters

$670 million in NIL money? Wut?

Yep. 247 published a list of top 50. Oregon was tops with close to $1B

It's more than that, a lot of bad PR, such as the drunk driving thing.

Not super surprised. The team appears to have given up some time after the BYU game. No excuse for their ineptitude

I wonder how refusing to take a pay cut would be grounds for firing "for cause". Seems like a thin ploy to pay less than

That would not hold up in court. We had a contract. We wanted to pay less than

That's a bit shocking

I think ever since Gundy admitted to driving after drinking his days at OSU have been numbered.
