Social Media, Barry Sanders React to Mike Gundy’s Contract Extension

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy recently signed a $22.25 million, five-year extension with OSU which was announced on Tuesday.

With the contract renewing after every year, it initially makes him the Cowboys’ coach until he decides to call it quits. With such big news coming from OSU, here’s the best of what people on social media, including former players, had to say about it:

It's great to see @CoachGundy get extended. Great things ahead for the #OKState program

I bet that’s one of the amendments Gundy wants added to contract, “Mike Holder shall only refer to Coach Gundy as ‘Big Daddy’ henceforth."

The increase to asst. pay is huge. Allegedly why Gundy refused to sign extension. That is a big win for Gundy and his staff. https://t.co/HJBBJP8bbg
