Could Mike Gundy end up being the next head coach for the Florida Gators? It’s looking like that is a legitimate possibility.
The current Oklahoma State Cowboys coach wants the Florida job, according to a report from 247 Sports. The report states that Gundy has let it be known via back channels that he wants the position.
Gundy, 47, is an Oklahoma native and has coached at Oklahoma State for most of his career. He coached there from 1990-95 and has been there since returning in 2001. Gundy has been the program’s head coach since 2005 and is 82-43 entering his team’s Saturday game. Though he has strong ties to Oklahoma, 247 says Gundy has been intrigued by the possibility of coaching in the SEC.
Gundy, who is infamous for his “I’m a man” rant at the media, has posted three double-digit win seasons at Oklahoma State, which is pretty darn impressive given the program’s poor history. He is known for leading a prolific offense.
Given the allegations surrounding his program at OSU, it seems like Gundy would fit in perfectly in the SEC.
Sportsbooks have installed him as the favorite to get the Florida job.
