    Meet your new DL coach

    Diron Reynolds from Stanford

    BIO

    Oklahoma: We understand that the Sooners have hired Stanford defensive assistant Diron Reynolds as their defensive line coach. Prior to joining the Stanford staff, Reynolds spent five seasons with the Vikings as an assistant defensive line coach, the 2007 season as the defensive line coach with the Dolphins, and five seasons under Tony Dungy in Indianapolis as a defensive quality control coach.

    Re: Meet your new DL coach

    How is it that this guy was in my class at Wake, presumably played football there, coached there, and this is the first I've heard of him?

    Seems like a decent hire. Only one year at Stanford, and they were not the defensively stout team that they usually are this past year. NFL experience is good. No idea how he is as a recruiter, but if he went to Wake and was hired on at Stanford, chances are he knocked his interview out of the park.

    Re: Meet your new DL coach

    A surprise name I'm not familiar with, but here is a nice rundown of his coaching experience. NFL experience should at least ring well with recruits.

    According to ESPN, Stanford was 5th in total defense and 2nd in scoring defense last year. Those are not terrible numbers.

    This thread is not complete until TDTW let's us know how lame of a hire this is and how many more losses OU incurs because of it.

    Re: Meet your new DL coach

    This is a good hire - over a decade of NFL experience, and no known tie back to Iowa or Mike Leach. There's no possible way to stick this in the "buddy hire" pile. Fresh blood/perspective is what we need, and what Stoops has avoided hiring in the past.

    The only problem with this hire is it isn't enough to outweigh the other bad hires hanging around the facility: bringing Big Brother back, along with his buddy Kish, and the Leach rehashed vomit on the offensive side of the ball.

    That's surprising, but good, to hear.

    Whew! Thought someone kidnapped you and hijacked your account for a second there. But is there any DL coach that could do those things? I guess if he had both the HC and DL coach titles.

    He never won a game at OU, nor did he win multiple national tites last year.
