The reports come one day after Gundy confirmed that he had zero interest in 2025 being his final year in Stillwater. "100 percent," he said on Monday.
The Cowboys sport a 1-2 record this season and have lost 11 of the past 12 games dating back to the 2024 campaign.
Gundy, who is owed $15 million, is the winningest coach in Oklahoma State history.
He coached the Cowboys to 18 straight winning seasons and bowl appearances before the streak was broken last year.
Gundy posted eight 10-win seasons as a coach at Oklahoma State, which finished ranked in the top 15 five times during his tenure.
He was 170-90 all-time, including 12-6 in bowls at his alma mater, where he was OSU's starting quarterback and assistant head coach before being hired. With Gundy at quarterback, the Cowboys had two 10-win seasons.
Gundy, 58, is famous in part for his press conference tirade 18 years ago in which he said, "I'm a man, I'm 40."
Oklahoma State will host Baylor (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) in its conference opener on Saturday.
