WHEREAS, as a high school senior, Gundy led Midwest City High School to a state football championship; and

WHEREAS, he was an Oklahoma all-state selection in football and baseball and was selected as the state’s prep football player of the year by The Oklahoman and the Tulsa World; and

WHEREAS, at the same time, he was a stellar student and a member of the National Honor Society; and

WHEREAS, Gundy began college at OSU in 1986, where he took over quarterback duties in just four games; and

WHEREAS, Gundy became a four-year starter at OSU and led the Cowboys to a pair of bowl wins; and

WHEREAS, he ended his college career as the Big 8 Conference’s all-time leader in passing and total offense, and is still second all-time at OSU with 7,997 passing yards; and

WHEREAS, after graduation, Gundy joined the OSU football staff, where he coached the receivers in 1990, the quarterbacks in 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1995, and served as offensive coordinator during the 1994 season; and

WHEREAS, after spending one season at Baylor and three seasons at Maryland, he returned to his alma mater in 2001 as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator, and he became head coach in 2005; and

WHEREAS, under Gundy, OSU has won at least seven games in five straight seasons for the first time ever; and

WHEREAS, under Gundy, OSU has not only set a school record for first-team all-league selections, but also for first-team academic all-conference selections with eight; and

WHEREAS, in 2010 alone, OSU won eleven games for the first time in school history, and earned a share of the Big 12 championship for the first time ever; and

WHEREAS, OSU’s rising profile is a true testament to Gundy, who was named 2010 Big 12 Coach of the Year by his Big 12 peers and by the Associated Press.
