Big get for us as we try to pump up our D to a respectable level (pause).

Apparently the fact he was passed over as DC for Clemson may have had something to do with it. No matter the reason, I'm happy. It means the tard Ted Roof won't be running this thing alone.

Yea, I really liked him at WSU. He definitely made improvements for us, but the consensus among OU fans seems to be that our strength and conditioning coach held us back. Our defense took a step back this year and I was really curious what we would have looked like next year under him. Nevertheless, I think we've definitely come out on top defensively with all of this.

Once the old friend hires and nepotism started, it wasn't going to stop.

Word is we are taking valai from Bama also. OU may finish with the best defensive staff in the county.

The next county over from OU may have something to say about that.

The same CB coach that promised Saban he could get Denver Harris? Wouldn’t be surprised if he was asked to look around. Saban doesn’t play with failures on his staff

. Man, Valai is just another coach. Not a good recruiter and just meh as a coach. Not a coup by OU. Saban is not trying to keep him.
