Williamson, who is better known by the nickname “Poo,” joins the Sooners’ staff after a one-year stopover at the University of Miami. Before that, he was at Texas Tech and Memphis as an assistant under Tubby Smith, the coach he played for at Tulsa.
The new OU assistant coach has also been an assistant at Wichita State, Texas A&M, SMU and TCU in a coaching career that has spanned more than two decades. OU officials like the fact that Williamson has spent 15 of the last 18 seasons coaching a recruiting for schools in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
