Previous season
The Cowboys finished the 2019 season with an 8–5 record, 5–4 Big 12 play, losing the Texas Bowl to Texas A&M.
Offseason
Coaching changes
In January 2019, head coach Mike Gundy announced the hiring of Kasey Dunn to be the new offensive coordinator, replacing Sean Gleeson, who left to take an assistant coaching position at Rutgers. Dunn was promoted from his position as the Cowboys' wide receivers coach.[1] Additionally, former Washington Redskins coach Tim Rattay was hired to take over Gleeson's role as quarterbacks coach.[2]
Preseason
Big 12 media poll
The Big 12 media days will be held on July 21–22, 2020 in Frisco, Texas.
Schedule
Regular season
Oklahoma State released its 2020 schedule on October 22, 2019. The 2020 schedule consists of 7 home games and 5 away games in the regular season. The Cowboys will host 3 non-conference games against Oregon State, Tulsa, and Western Illinois. Oklahoma State will host Iowa State, Texas Tech, West Virginia, and Texas and travel to TCU, Kansas, Oklahoma, Baylor, and Kansas State in regular season conference play.
The Cowboys' scheduled game against Oregon State was later canceled before the start of the 2020 season due to the Pac-12 cancelling all non-conference games because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
