NORMAN — Oklahoma's newest coach will make his debut next Saturday at TCU.
Bob Diaco was promoted to outside linebackers coach as a result of Mike Stoops' exit. Up until Monday he had worked as a defensive analyst for the Sooners.
The 45-year-old from Cedar Grove, N.J., is known to be both intense and quirky.
In his first news conference as Connecticut's head coach in December 2013 he quoted St. Augustine, in Latin, and Garth Brooks. His unconventional introduction at UConn came less than a month after winning the Broyles Award, given to the nation's top assistant, while serving as Notre Dame's defensive coordinator.
