Mike Gundy Gets Raise, Becomes Highest-Paid Coach in Big 12

The highest-paid coach in the Big 12 resides in Stillwater.

Oklahoma State announced Friday it has made changes to the contract of head football coach Mike Gundy that includes a substantial $1 million annual raise. As part of his new deal, Gundy will receive a $1 million annual retention bonus each of the next five years.

Gundy is scheduled to make $7.5 million during 2022. New Oklahoma coach Brent Venables is set to make $6.4 million in 2022, and Texas’ Steve Sarkisian made $5.45 million last year, according to USA Today.

OSU’s board of regents approved Gundy’s raise in their meeting Friday in Okmulgee.
