Former OSU defensive coordinator and all-around good guy Bill Young has passed away. He was 74 years old.
Young was well-traveled as a football coach and that applied especially to the state of Oklahoma, having hit for the cycle as a coach at Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Tulsa. Before his final major job as a defensive coordinator at Tulsa, he coached at Yukon High School.
“Bill Young was a first-class person, a first-class coach and he made the world a better place,” said Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy in a statement on Thursday.
Young retired in 2018 after 50 years coaching.
