Gundy’s Path To Stillwater Took Some Turns

I wrote Wednesday about Mike Gundy’s push to become OSU’s winningest coach. You can read that story here.
Gundy stands tied with Pat Jones, his coach with the Cowboys in the late ’80s, with 62 wins, heading into Saturday’s homecoming contest against Iowa State.
In the story, I pointed out the dominoes that fall to shape any coaching search or hire. For Gundy, it took Dirk Koetter taking the job and leaving it within 24 hours, leading to Les Miles coming in and bringing Gundy with him.
The rest, of course, is history.
Gundy also let us in on a little-known bit of information on his hiring as an assistant at Maryland, where he’d been fired just before rebounding and joining Miles in Stillwater.
