Finding the right coach to fit OSU’s culture has proven to be nearly as important for OSU as finding the right players to fit the scheme and system in place in Stillwater.
Under Mike Gundy, that hypothesis especially rings true for coach Josh Henson.
Henson, who was a four-year letterman at OSU from 1994-1997, has been a seamless fit since returning to his alma mater. After serving as an offensive analyst under Gundy in 2016, he took the reins of the offensive line from Greg Adkins in 2017 and has thrived. A mixture of fit and favor has allowed him to recruit at a high level while developing into a well-respected coach the big boys up front can relate to.
