Sean Gleeson was an out-of-the-box hire for Mike Gundy this spring in the traditional sense: he’s a young up-and-comer; he last coached at an Ivy League institution; and his experience with legos is still unclear. In an unconventional way, however — an approach that you can uniformly apply to Gundy’s attack of hiring play-callers — the fit was seamless.
Not only does Gleeson represent new, fresh blood who can reinvigorate the offense and whichever quarterback wins the job this fall. He can take that new quarterback and mold his own system in Stillwater, starting with a clean slate as OSU is hitting the reset at football’s most important position.
