We are going to talk about this article below. Let me tell you why we are going to talk about it. Mike Gundy is awesome. 100% of the money that he is getting is completely deserving. It embarrasses me he didn’t get this extension as soon as he went off on the media. The university’s athletic department must not have ever had a child who has come home with their heart broken, upset. How are they going to kick a man while he is down? Here is all Mike Gundy did. He was QB at OSU and went to class and graduated. He is respectful to the media and to the public and gets really pissed off when you don’t do the same. He wins football games. Mike Gundy is a good man. If his new contract ever comes home and cries because someone calls him fat..how do you think it is going to make his contract feel? But, you don’t understand cuz you don’t have a $16 million dollar contract for being the man. Someday you will and you’ll understand. The length it took Gundy to get this contract is garbage and the editor of the newspaper who cussed out his player is garbage! Are you kidding me? Where at we at in society today? But, now FINALLY Gundy gets paid for DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT!! OSU came after Gundy…He’s a man…He’s 40!!! What? Somebody told you Gundy didn’t sign extension? THAT AIN’T TRUE!!! THAT’S NOT TRUE!!! SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIT!!!

Congatulations Coach Gundy and we at straitpinkie.com will never be-downgrade or belittle you or any of your players. We are all adults here. That’s all I got to say. Just makes me wanna puke it took you so long to get paid.

Oklahoma State’s Gundy gets seven-year extension

Stillwater, OK (Sports Network) – Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy received a seven-year contract extension Friday after leading the Cowboys to only their sixth nine-win regular season in school history.

The extension is worth $15.7 million and kicks in January 1, 2009, paying Gundy an annual salary of more than $2.2 million through December, 2015. Gundy’s current six-year deal saw him collect $1,053,000 this season.

The Cowboys finished with a 9-3 mark, having reached a top-10 ranking for the first time since 1988. Their three losses were against teams ranked first, second and third in the Associated Press poll at the time. Holding a No. 14 ranking in the Bowl Championship Series as of December 5 with an upcoming bowl appearance, OSU has a chance to become only the fourth 10-win team in school history.

“The OSU board and administration are extremely pleased with the job coach Gundy has done in moving our football program forward,” said OSU president Burns Hargis. “With the caliber of student athletes he and his staff are recruiting, and with our new facilities, the future is very bright.”

The 41-year-old Gundy is in his fourth season as the head coach at OSU and holds a record of 27-22 over that span.

“I have always appreciated the opportunity to coach at my alma mater,” Gundy said. “We have great fans, we are building tremendous facilities, we have great support from the administration and I have a terrific staff. My greatest reward is leading such an outstanding group of student athletes. I couldn’t be prouder of our players and the way they perform in the classroom, on the field and as representatives OSU.”
