After the NCAA announced a rule change that would allow schools to add an addition 10th assistant, most (myself included) called for Mike Gundy to turn his attention to special teams to hire a full time coordinator for that group which rated historically bad last season.
Instead, Mike Gundy hired another defensive line coach.
It was a bit of a head-scratcher, especially seeing that OSU has Joe Bob Clements, who has done little but recruit and evaluate quality talent to the D-line during his tenure. OSU has seen a defensive lineman received All-Big 12 honors in each of his five years and it’s been the strength of the Cowboy defense most of those years.
