Past To Present

I was truly blessed and fortunate to have known and worked with five of the most impactful head football coaches to ever roam the sidelines at Oklahoma State. They were in charge for 32 of the last 45 years and accounted for 185 of the school’s 586 wins heading into 2018.

There is no doubt Mike Gundy and the coaches and players he has brought to OSU over his 14 years at the helm deserve a tremendous amount of credit. They have turned the Cowboy program into a real force on the national scene. But the work of people like Jim Stanley, Jimmy Johnson, Pat Jones, Bob Simmons and Les Miles paved the way. And they did it with far less resources.
