Gundy: 'We would love to keep (Yurcich) here'

MEMPHIS Tenn. -- Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich has been connected to a number of job openings around the country since his arrival in Stillwater almost seven years ago.

Cowboy coach Mike Gundy hired Yurcich, who will complete his sixth season of running the OSU offense in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl on Monday, from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania, which most have likely never heard of unless they have a specific connection to the area.

Gundy had just seen former OSU offensive coordinators Todd Monken, now with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Dana Holgorsen, now West Virginia's head coach, leave OSU for higher-paying, higher-caliber jobs following quick success with the OSU offense.
