After telling Tennessee he’d mullet over, Mike Gundy has apparently decided to remain home.
At around 9:24 p.m. ET Tuesday night, Brett McMurphy tweeted that Gundy has decided to remain at Oklahoma State. That report came after a flurry of reports earlier in the day that had Gundy meeting with UT officials in Dallas to discuss the Vols’ opening.
Exactly four minutes after McMurphy’s tweet, Gundy posted his own tweet that indicated he would be staying in Stillwater.

I guess that makes things unofficially official, that, for the second time in five years, Gundy has snubbed the Vols in favor of his alma mater.
As to where UT goes from here? Based on where they’ve been the past few days, who knows.
First, there was the Greg Schiano debacle that began Sunday and could continue on for days or even weeks. Monday, Matt Campbell, who was reportedly a UT target, signed a new contract to remain at Iowa State. Then, last night, it was reported that David Cutcliffe had (again) declined the Vols’ advances.
And, to add insult to injury, Gundy reportedly turned down a six-year, $42 million deal.
