What is contract status, bonuses for Oklahoma State football's Mike Gundy, assistants?

STILLWATER — The turn to the new year brought Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy’s annual raise, while his assistants are set for an additional postseason bonus from the 10-win season the Cowboys just completed.

Gundy’s five-year rollover contract includes an increase of $125,000 on Jan. 1 each year, which will bring his total salary to $7.75 million for the 2024 season.

As for the OSU assistants, they’ll be watching for the final USA Today Coaches’ poll of the season to determine their postseason bonus, which is likely to be $2,000 each. Should the Cowboys jump from No. 21 to No. 15 or better — which seems unlikely — in the final coaches’ poll, the bonus would increase by $1,000 for each coach.

All of the assistants have contractual bonuses for winning the Big 12 championship or finishing with the best regular-season record in the Big 12, but the Cowboys did not accomplish either this year.

Gundy received his $1 million retention bonus last month, which is granted each year if he is still employed on the initial signing date of the football season, which was Dec. 20.

Gundy also received a bonus of $125,000 for reaching the Big 12 Championship Game.

All but one of the OSU assistants are entering the final year of their current contracts. The outlier is defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo, who just completed the first year of the three-year contract he agreed to when he was hired last January.

Offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn was given a three-year contract in January 2022. The rest of the assistants were given two-year deals at the same time, and each of those contracts was extended by a year last February, to run through the 2024 season.
