While most Oklahoma players have expressed gratitude for former defensive coordinator Mike Stoops in the wake of his firing, freshman nickelback Brendan Radley-Hiles tweeted a different take Tuesday night.
"It's different when you love the coach you playin for," Radley-Hiles tweeted. "Happy birthday OG, @RuffinMcNeill."
The tweet, sent at 6:48 p.m. Tuesday, has since been deleted.
Radley-Hiles tagged interim defensive coordinator Ruffin McNeill. He'll take over for Stoops, who was officially let go Monday morning, just two days after the Sooners gave up 48 points to Texas.
OU defensive captain Kenneth Murray, right around the time of Radley-Hiles' tweet, talked about how much Stoops meant to him.
