Mike Gundy isn’t leaving Oklahoma State, and he isn’t leaving Stillwater. Not with what amounts to a lifetime contract that will never dip below $5 million a year.
He’s a made man in these parts and deservedly so. In a pair of weeks where we all paid homage to the godfather of modern Oklahoma State football — T. Boone Pickens — it’s easy to remember that orchestras, even well-oiled ones, don’t perform in a vacuum.
None of this, however, has kept Gundy’s name out of the mouths (or books) of Vegas oddsmakers. With three different coaches at high-profile universities off to tepid starts in 2019, the most flirtatious midwestern man with a mullet is atop everybody’s future lists.
