Great hire!
Let's see, tcu crowing they got a lot of our staff (G5 coaches from 4th place team in the conference) and we're "stuck" with coaches from OU and The U. Gosh the toadies really got the better of us :roll: .

Looks like a great hire!

Have we announced or hired a DC yet? Leavitt staying?

I am just guessing he could be a one and done until another P5 and/or DC opportunity is available for him, but this seems like a pretty big deal (in a good way) to me. Call me impressed with the coaching hires so far.

I know nothing about the former Mizzou TE coach who is going to be our OC, but I am hopeful that ends up being a strong hire as well.

If he’s a true leader, let’s see how many OU players will follow him here.

Agree. If he IS the real deal he'll be here for a year max

So I guess our new DC is coaching somewhere currently and will be announced after his bowl game??

That has to be the case. Otherwise, there's no way Lashlee waits this long to make his hire for a critical position.
