Almost exactly two months ago, Oklahoma State fired the school’s all-time winningest coach and the second-longest tenured head man in Football Bowls Subdivision when it dismissed former favorite son Mike Gundy.
Eight-plus weeks later, where does the Oklahoma State search for Gundy’s replacement stand?
Numerous sources tell FootballScoop that Cowboys officials, with TurnKeyZRG search firm doing the behind-the-scenes work, are deep into the process with multiple offensive-minded candidates and also a Power 4 defensive coordinator. Sources have indicated to FootballScoop that Oklahoma State's pitch to candidates in this cycle has been impressive; the Cowboys' brass are seen per sources as having a better handle, with more resources committed, for the vision for revenue-sharing and NIL than some peers in this coaching cycle such as Arkansas, whom sources told FootballScoop needs to better commit to those components to nail down a hire.
