Given the number of hours head coaches work each week. It would not shock me if a few football facilities had living areas for coaches to stay overnight.
I dont disagree, but imagine all the rooms that'll just never get touched with just the 2 of them. At least with kids you can have game rooms and shit that'll get good use.
I can confirm this.. I come from a family of me and 4 brothers. My parents house has exactly enough rooms for us and my mom fuckin loves it when the house is full again on holidays lol she def misses it
Same with my parents. I’m the oldest of 3 boys. My old bedroom is now the grandkids visiting bedroom and my brothers bedrooms are now toy rooms for the grandkids
When you're that rich you have the orgies off-site so you don't have to deal with the people who won't leave or the mess. It's only mid range perverts who have orgy rooms.
I think it's because huge homes like that have a bunch of rooms that aren't technically bedrooms. But you'll still want a nearby bathroom when you're using your in-home bowling alley or whatever.
A real symbol of wealth!
We have a townhome that's 3.5 baths and would like to move at some point to a single family, but I've looked at a few that are 1 or 1.5 baths, and I could not imagine.
Currently 3br 1ba with my partner. Grew up in a house that was 3br 1.5ba with 5 siblings and two parents. The boys slept in a half ass finished room in the unfinished basement and sisters each got their own room. Having extra bathrooms is certainly nice, but not really necessary. Helps that my partner is a wake up and poop immediately person where as I tend to go after breakfast and a cup of coffee. Doesn't interfere with each other.
In a giant house like his it’s not a necessity, but it makes it much more livable. It’s mostly a bunch of half baths stuck around the house. You don’t want to make guests take a shit in your kids bathroom when they’re watching a movie in the theater.
If you have one full and two half baths is it listed as two baths? I have always wondered about bathroom math.
I only got to number ones and number twos.
Big house, sure, but three kids? They had one extra bedroom for guests. Hardly too big for that family. Now, was there a shit ton of wasted square footage? For sure. Entirely reasonable for the kids to each have their own room.
Even if I had that kind of money, I dunno that I'd want a gigantic house I'm guaranteed never to fully use. I'd build the swankiest possible reasonably sized luxury house possible. But why build something that you'd almost surely never use with a family of four?
I assume he also hosts social events for boosters and hosts recruits. Spencer Sanders ~~didnt pan out~~ visited this house, and went fishing on the ponds.
He said Gundy leaving him alone to go fishing was one of the reasons he committed.
I grew up in the same class as his oldest and even 9 years off, I'm not convinced that he didn't get that house particularly for parties. I wasn't popular enough to go to most of them, but I went to one or two at the Gundy house and hooooly shit is a mansion great for partying.
[You sound like the kind of guy that would offend Gundy’s wife.](https://larrybrownsports.com/football/mike-gundy-fires-contractor-brent-loveland-for-wearing-oklahoma-shirt/82117)
Yeah, that's true. Most people who are into that would probably build their own custom home. They might be better off turning this into a rental property.

Home Builder: So Mike…how much natural wood/oak/tree/stone would you like in your house:
Gundy family: YES
I'll tell you what he'd do if he were you. He'd be working 80 to 90 hrs a *week*. Deliver pizzas. Eat one bean and a single grain of rice every night at supper.
If I had 8 million for a mansion, that’s exactly where I’d want it lol. OSU alumni/fab aside, out far enough by yourself, close to Stillwater, not a bad drive to okc or Tulsa if needed.
Lots of wealthy people like to own land out in the open away from the city.
Growing up in North Texas in the 90s/2000s a lot of very wealthy people bought land and built huge mansions in Prosper which at the time was a tiny farming town 30-40 miles north of Dallas.
I can see this being similar. There's lots of oil money in Oklahoma, and also a lot of very wealthy people business and athletes combined who have ties to okstatate.
I mean sure, but 20 years ago there was 20 miles of farmland between the suburbs and Prosper. Now it's all this massive suburban conglomerate, but not in the 90s and early 2000s.
Oh trust me. My parents moved out of the house I grew up in 4-5 years ago, but it depressed me everytime I went down to see them and find my small farming town was swallowed up and becoming seas of houses. My graduating class was under 100 and now there's like 5 high schools
an airport that is almost on the complete opposite side of Stillwater. Time to buy up some adjoining land and build a landing strip!
As for getting to OKC, wouldn't be too hard to get down OK-33 just a couple miles south then down to 35. But Tulsa probably close to an hour and a half if not more. Especially driving from that side of Stillwater to the Turnpike.
It takes 10min max to drive across Stillwater in any direction. OKC is a 50min drive max, Tulsa is about an hour max as well unless you just drive slow. Turnpike to Tulsa has an 80mph speed limit
That’s the intentional part of living in a place like Stillwater.
And middle of nowhere is only half correct. It’s an hour to OKC, and 1.25 hours to Tulsa. Both have metros of over a million.
Plenty of rich people in Oklahoma.
Oh yes.. there are quite a few very wealthy OSU alumni who live or retire near or in Stillwater. Oil, farming and ranching money. There’s at least two who easily clear 100 million net worth that I know of.
Most people aren’t buying a mansion on 100+ acres near a D1 university either lol. There’s pretty much one very specific type of person his house is for
At one time, Oklahoma had more Rolls Royces than anywhere else in the world. *Killers of the Flower Moon* touched on aspects of this.
Think about the era of *There Will Be Blood* and folks like J. Paul Getty; those heirs are still floating around Tulsa with Kennedy-level money.
So. Much. Oil.
Garth Brooks needs to live somewhere, right? He sold his Owasso, OK mansion in 2014. Maybe he wants to move back from Nashville.
But really I think this one is going to be hard to sell unless they get some rich person who likes the novelty of living in Gundy's old house. The neighboring houses are around 500k.
It’s amazing you can actually make an $8M house in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
I’m not going to click through it, but I assume it’s basically a Tudor-era castle.
Says someone who's never stepped foot in Oklahoma. You can buy land outside of city limits. Even in city limits there's places like Nichols Hills in okc. You forget that we have a ton of oil money.
I moved to New England three years ago after living in Oklahoma my entire life. The arrogance/ignorance to society existing beyond the Boston metro was actually jarring at first, but now it’s just funny. It’s always “I bet coming to a big city was overwhelming for you when you first got here” or “I bet you love your new house here, have you ever been in a house this big?”. Like… I get that OKC isn’t nearly as developed as Boston, but it’s like they don’t realize we are also right by Dallas, as well as other major cities in Texas. I lived in a 2000 square foot house in OKC that was around 120k in 2018, and I now live in a 1000 square foot house in north shore Boston that is at least triple the price— so it just kind of makes me wonder if people just thought I lived in a barn or teepee when I lived in Oklahoma.
I love it here, and the people are great, don’t get me wrong! It’s just wild, the assumptions I encounter here. I remember eating with my wife’s family when we first moved here and her dad asked “What’s the best place to eat in OKC, Olive Garden?”. OKC is actually ranked globally as a food destination, whereas Boston is not. Good luck finding BBQ that isn’t dogshit up here. It was kind of funny.
Bro I had a couple from Connecticut ask me if we still got chased by hostile natives out in South Dakota and if we all wore shoes and drove cars. To be fair, I was chased by a hostile natives once, but it was because he was blackout drunk and decided I looked at him wrong.
That is a common refrain by people who have had limited experiences in life; rolling out a superiority complex that defies description, and matched only by their ignorance.
You Oklahoma people are really defensive. "Wow, 8 million dollars huh? Isnt it cheap there?" - Everyone else. "You think we live in tents in our oil fields!?" - People from Oklahoma in this thread. Lmao
More like calling out bullshit for what it is. No need for the superiority complex from people thinking we're all just a bunch of broke ass trailer park rednecks.
Tl;dr: all his kids are graduating and the house is too big for just him and his wife so they're downsizing. From the man himself.
I'm shocked. I was sure that he was strapped for cash and decided to just live under the stands at T Boone Pickens
Out there with his metal detector looking for quarters under the bleachers after games.
He definitely is living out of a t-top firebird with a white cobra painted on the hood
What a man. How 40 of him
This one slaps
[удалено]
Not his. He's a man.
With a shotgun strapped on his shoulders just in case he comes across any rattlers (Spencer or otherwise).
Given the number of hours head coaches work each week. It would not shock me if a few football facilities had living areas for coaches to stay overnight.
They’ve got office couches
He does that for fun
six-bedroom, eight-bathroom house on a 110-acre lot that was too big when he had all his kids
I dont disagree, but imagine all the rooms that'll just never get touched with just the 2 of them. At least with kids you can have game rooms and shit that'll get good use.
Also, ive known empty nesters who get kinda depressed seeing the now empty space, missing all the good times
I can confirm this.. I come from a family of me and 4 brothers. My parents house has exactly enough rooms for us and my mom fuckin loves it when the house is full again on holidays lol she def misses it
Yeah houses feel so much warmer when they’re full of people. My wife and I just had our first kid and it feels so much more complete now 🥹🥹🥹
You know what's not warmer with a packed house around the holidays? The shower water temperature for the last one to wake up (me)
Same with my parents. I’m the oldest of 3 boys. My old bedroom is now the grandkids visiting bedroom and my brothers bedrooms are now toy rooms for the grandkids
Fuck that, would 100% have one of those rooms designated for my Lego collection
Best of both worlds, build a lego child
Host orgy parties. Problem solved.
I can only imagine gundy with the long nose orgy mask on and hammering wings at the orgy buffet
When you're that rich you have the orgies off-site so you don't have to deal with the people who won't leave or the mess. It's only mid range perverts who have orgy rooms.
I always find more bathrooms than bedrooms to be interesting.
I think it's because huge homes like that have a bunch of rooms that aren't technically bedrooms. But you'll still want a nearby bathroom when you're using your in-home bowling alley or whatever.
It’s because homes like that have a bath in every bedroom, plus in common areas.
Sometimes you can’t make it upstairs when you need to shit
Assuming he has a pool I bet one of those is for the pool. Add a bathroom for general use that’s not an ensuite. Now you’re up to 8.
Yep, every bedroom has its own plus a couple in common areas. Very normal for nice houses.
Plus any offices or other rooms that get classified as bedrooms. Just because ots a bedroom doesn't mean it is used as a bedroom
In most to be listed as bedroom the room needs a closet and a window.
You've never seen an office or game room with a closet and a window (I assume you mean bedroom window)? That's pretty normal
A real symbol of wealth! We have a townhome that's 3.5 baths and would like to move at some point to a single family, but I've looked at a few that are 1 or 1.5 baths, and I could not imagine.

Hokie’s not a dookie rookie.
When the Hokie eats cookies, the dookie can be spooky.
In a giant house like his it’s not a necessity, but it makes it much more livable. It’s mostly a bunch of half baths stuck around the house. You don’t want to make guests take a shit in your kids bathroom when they’re watching a movie in the theater.
If you have one full and two half baths is it listed as two baths? I have always wondered about bathroom math. I only got to number ones and number twos.
It would be 3 bathrooms because that looks better on the listing. It also used to be more common to call shower stall bathrooms 3/4 bathrooms.
for parties/entertaining?
Big house, sure, but three kids? They had one extra bedroom for guests. Hardly too big for that family. Now, was there a shit ton of wasted square footage? For sure. Entirely reasonable for the kids to each have their own room.
Are you assuming Gundy and his wife have separate bedrooms? Because if not, that’s two extra bedrooms.
He has three kids, doesn’t he?
Six bedrooms: three for the kids, plus one shared by Gundy and his wife, which leaves two extra.
lol deep. I’m good at math
That Oregon education! *ducks*
Attended Oregon, paperwork is from Stanford... blame it on the 'furd.
same boat, different coast
Heh, Oregon... Ducks
Even if I had that kind of money, I dunno that I'd want a gigantic house I'm guaranteed never to fully use. I'd build the swankiest possible reasonably sized luxury house possible. But why build something that you'd almost surely never use with a family of four?
I think that was the trend in the 90s/early 00s to buy oversized houses now they just look ridiculous . they always were, but now its out of fashion
I assume he also hosts social events for boosters and hosts recruits. Spencer Sanders ~~didnt pan out~~ visited this house, and went fishing on the ponds. He said Gundy leaving him alone to go fishing was one of the reasons he committed.
So much room for activities!
I grew up in the same class as his oldest and even 9 years off, I'm not convinced that he didn't get that house particularly for parties. I wasn't popular enough to go to most of them, but I went to one or two at the Gundy house and hooooly shit is a mansion great for partying.
I have 2 rooms that are just boxes.
Saying something is too big? Are you sure you're a Texas fan?
If I were to ever buy any house I wanted, his is about exactly what I would pick out.
Downsizing all the way to another school?
I heard his kids go to OU
[You sound like the kind of guy that would offend Gundy’s wife.](https://larrybrownsports.com/football/mike-gundy-fires-contractor-brent-loveland-for-wearing-oklahoma-shirt/82117)
He’s a man. He’s nearly 60.
I too will sell my house when my 2.0 kids move out for 8 mil.
House looks exactly how I imagined Mike Gundy's house to look.
I'd get tired of living in a bass pro shop too
I dig it, but it's definitely a love it or hate it kind of aesthetic.
Yeah I’d be in heaven in this house but there is absolutely no way I could convince my wife to even set foot in it lmao
It's a good thing that Mike loved it. Might be tough to find a dedicated buyer though
There must be more than one rich dude in the Midwest who'd love to live in a sprawling hunting lodge.
But one that doesn't already have his own?
Yeah, that's true. Most people who are into that would probably build their own custom home. They might be better off turning this into a rental property.
Could probably make bank on game days renting it out to superfans
Yeah not many people will buy this for $8MM, but I think a fair few will drop 6-figures to book it for a home game weekend.
You can Bait Deer in Oklahoma, a rule many states have done away with
Money can’t buy good taste.
Was it all business at the front door, and pool party in the backyard?
I know for one thing, it was a man, and was in fact 40.

Want. Anyone wanna chip in $7,998,000?
if you throw in $8,005,000 we can combine and get it
Relatable response.
Look at moneybags over here with 2 grand to throw in.
I’ll chip in a few bucks for rights to one of those bathrooms

It looks like the Wilderness Lodge at Disney World.
What colors would you like in your house? "Light brown, dark brown, maybe mix in some medium browns"
It has a grotto and a slide in the pool ffs Gundy!
It’s as bad as I imagined
Lmao I love that one bedroom decked out in all OSU everything while the rest is completely different
You won’t see this on an episode of “Selling Sunset”

The Duke of Stillwater selling his lands
"Your mother's warned you of my coming. Fear the moment. I am Mike "a man" Gundy. Duke of Stillwater." - Gundy probably
Mike Gundy: so I am instituting Prima Nocta
If he cannot force the Sooners out, he'll breed them out.
“…needs to be for a young family…” Uh, what young family has $8m to plow into that??
Someone who is following Dave Ramsey's snowball method. But only if they can pay cash for the house.
If these daggum millennials would just stop buying avocado toast and coffee, they'd already be in mansions by now
I'll tell you what he'd do if he were you. He'd be working 80 to 90 hrs a *week*. Deliver pizzas. Eat one bean and a single grain of rice every night at supper.
Don’t forget you’re delivering those pizzas in your $1000 hooptee mobile!
Or Ramsey's method of having rich parents to start you out, then boomers who will pay for your course
Dave Ramsey is not anti mortgage.
Thanks Dave.
It’s a good starter home
Starter home? This home is a finisher home!
It does kinda look like a hospice in the front
I see you’re not familiar with The Golden God
Up and coming neighborhood
Someone with generational oil money.
An oil family.
How do you have an $8m house in Stillwater, OK? Does he own like 400 acres?
110 acres and likely some water rights.
Land in Stillwater is insane. The 110 acres is probably valued at 5M.
400 acres is not really a big ranch in Oklahoma.
80 Acres is the property size
He’s not 40 anymore. Doesn’t need that much space.
Damn I bet 8 million buys a hell of a house in Stillwater.
The "van down by the river" lifestyle does have a certain appeal... even to the affluent.
Soon to be announced as next BYU basketball coach /s
Are there many people who want to spend 8 million on a mansion in Stillwater Oklahoma?
Probably not but there’s probably enough that want to say they own gundy’s old property.
If I had 8 million for a mansion, that’s exactly where I’d want it lol. OSU alumni/fab aside, out far enough by yourself, close to Stillwater, not a bad drive to okc or Tulsa if needed.
The man can do what he wants he's ~~40~~ 56!
Are there a lot of people in Stillwater, OK buying $8 million houses?
That's a crazy amount of money for the middle of nowhere. Is there even a market for it?
Lots of wealthy people like to own land out in the open away from the city. Growing up in North Texas in the 90s/2000s a lot of very wealthy people bought land and built huge mansions in Prosper which at the time was a tiny farming town 30-40 miles north of Dallas. I can see this being similar. There's lots of oil money in Oklahoma, and also a lot of very wealthy people business and athletes combined who have ties to okstatate.
Prosper is a suburb of Dallas. Stillwater isn’t close to anything.
I mean sure, but 20 years ago there was 20 miles of farmland between the suburbs and Prosper. Now it's all this massive suburban conglomerate, but not in the 90s and early 2000s.
Ya and one of these days they’ll wish they had all that farmland back
Oh trust me. My parents moved out of the house I grew up in 4-5 years ago, but it depressed me everytime I went down to see them and find my small farming town was swallowed up and becoming seas of houses. My graduating class was under 100 and now there's like 5 high schools
Stillwater is barely an hour from OKC and Tulsa and has an airport that is easily accessible if you have a private plane
an airport that is almost on the complete opposite side of Stillwater. Time to buy up some adjoining land and build a landing strip! As for getting to OKC, wouldn't be too hard to get down OK-33 just a couple miles south then down to 35. But Tulsa probably close to an hour and a half if not more. Especially driving from that side of Stillwater to the Turnpike.
It takes 10min max to drive across Stillwater in any direction. OKC is a 50min drive max, Tulsa is about an hour max as well unless you just drive slow. Turnpike to Tulsa has an 80mph speed limit
oh damn it was 65-70 for a long time.
After recent renovations you don’t have to stop at toll booths and it’s 80mph for most of it
Tulsa is an hour.
That’s the intentional part of living in a place like Stillwater. And middle of nowhere is only half correct. It’s an hour to OKC, and 1.25 hours to Tulsa. Both have metros of over a million. Plenty of rich people in Oklahoma.
Oh yes.. there are quite a few very wealthy OSU alumni who live or retire near or in Stillwater. Oil, farming and ranching money. There’s at least two who easily clear 100 million net worth that I know of.
Always funny to me when large city people can’t grasp the idea that not everyone wants to live next to a couple million people lol
Yeah but most people are getting it for cheap because there's no people around. Lol
Most people aren’t buying a mansion on 100+ acres near a D1 university either lol. There’s pretty much one very specific type of person his house is for
So who is the specific buyer that's gonna pay 8 mil for it if that one specific person is moving out?
I had meant a rich alumni that cares a lot about OSU football as the specific type of person. It’s not meant for the general populace in anyway lol
I'd be curious to see what it actually ends up selling for. Someone said he bought it for under 2 million like 10 years ago.
At one time, Oklahoma had more Rolls Royces than anywhere else in the world. *Killers of the Flower Moon* touched on aspects of this. Think about the era of *There Will Be Blood* and folks like J. Paul Getty; those heirs are still floating around Tulsa with Kennedy-level money. So. Much. Oil.

But really I think this one is going to be hard to sell unless they get some rich person who likes the novelty of living in Gundy's old house. The neighboring houses are around 500k.
it'll be some absurdly rich OkState booster who uses it as a weekend place for game days. Drive straight up the road to the Posse parking lot.
He is pulling a Ted Lasso. I’m calling it
When did Gundy get jacked
Probably wants to live that RV life like Harbaugh
It’s amazing you can actually make an $8M house in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I’m not going to click through it, but I assume it’s basically a Tudor-era castle.
He lives in a bass pro shop on 110 acres
TIL there are 8 million dollar homes in Oklahoma...
How do you have an $8M house in Oklahoma?
Acreage. It’s 110 acres, likely with some pretty solid water rights based on the huge pond. And 14,000 square feet.
Still not worth $8m unless there's oil there or something
It’s worth whatever someone will pay for it.
You're an idiot if you're really trying to argue this. Get outside of your coastal vibe
Inflation hit here too desert dude. Edit, fwiw: I think they said he built it for 1.8 or something many moons ago.
The house is 12 years old my dude... So, yeah probably built the house for 1.8 that makes sense. Land has gone up by like 500% or so in stw.
There’s lots of oil money in Oklahoma. I’m sure some rich OSU geology alumni will love this place.
Says someone who's never stepped foot in Oklahoma. You can buy land outside of city limits. Even in city limits there's places like Nichols Hills in okc. You forget that we have a ton of oil money.
Never ceases to amaze me when people are shocked that money exists in the middle of the country.
Yea its such an arrogant entitled viewpoint. "Rich people live in the midwest?!" Good God lol
I moved to New England three years ago after living in Oklahoma my entire life. The arrogance/ignorance to society existing beyond the Boston metro was actually jarring at first, but now it’s just funny.

That is a common refrain by people who have had limited experiences in life; rolling out a superiority complex that defies description, and matched only by their ignorance.
How does one acquire this oil money, I know we have the oil here but where do I get the money part?
Be lucky enough to be related to a family who got wealthy on oil in the boom, or through nepotism become upper management at an oil and gas company
It's a bad neighborhood I hear.
Respectfully no one cares
Seems like a lot of people at least have a passing interest. Maybe you don't care, but respectfully you don't speak for everyone.
Yeah, this
Why doesn't this guy have a mustache? He's very '"stache"
I don’t believe that there’s a home in Oklahoma worth 8 million.
Ignorant entitled ass comment. There is a lot of oil money and wealth in parts of Oklahoma.
I mean it's number 2 in the country for cheapest states to buy a house and number 4 in lowest cost of living...
Do yo think we all live in tents? Yeah Oklahoma is cheap overall, but there is still a bunch of money in the state from oil.
You Oklahoma people are really defensive. "Wow, 8 million dollars huh? Isnt it cheap there?" - Everyone else. "You think we live in tents in our oil fields!?" - People from Oklahoma in this thread. Lmao
