Following the firing of Mike Stoops, Ruffin McNeill will take over the the interim defensive coordinator for the Oklahoma Sooners. Additionally, defensive specialist Bob Diaco will now be the outside linebackers coach on an interim basis. The move away from Stoops was first reported by James Hale of The Football Brainiacs on Sunday evening.
“Ruffin has an impressive résumé,” Riley said. “That’s why I wanted him on our staff in the first place. I have confidence in his knowledge and leadership. Bob has a lot of experience in very good programs and also has a list of accomplishments that will help him step in and make an immediate impact.
