Mike Gundy vows to keep coaching Oklahoma State beyond 2025 - ESPN

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy has no interest in this being his final season in charge of the Cowboys, he told reporters in a press conference Monday afternoon.

«100%,» Gundy said when asked if he intended to remain at Oklahoma State beyond the 2025 season.
