The Oklahoma State Cowboys are giving head coach Mike Gundy a reward for the 2021 season. On the heels of leading the Cowboys to an appearance in the Big 12 championship game and his second Big 12 coach of the year award, the school has elected to give their coach a bump in pay.

According to Matt Fortuna, Gundy will receive an extra one million annually for the remainder of his contract.

“Oklahoma State announces that Mike Gundy is receiving a raise of $1M annually, along with a retention bonus of $1M annually across each of the next five years. Gundy will make $7.5M in 2022,” wrote Fortuna via Twitter.

The Cowboys just experienced one of their best seasons in recent memory. They finished the season with an 11-1 record. Gundy also led the Cowboys to wins over rivals in the Texas Longhorns, Oklahoma Sooners, and Baylor Bears. Unfortunately, they would fall to the Bears in a rematch during the Big 12 championship game, after coming inches away from scoring a game-winning touchdown. However, they finished off the season on a high note with a win over Notre Dame in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.

“Parker grew and he put in the work, and now he’s getting noticed,” Bixby (Okla.) High coach Lance Kight told Tulsa World during the season. “This is my 24th year of coaching high school basketball, and Parker is the hardest-working player I’ve ever coached. It’s impressive.”
