Kevin Wilson was hired as the new head coach at Indiana, where he goes after nine seasons at Oklahoma. Every offensive coordinator under Bob Stoops has gone on to a head coaching job (Mark Mangino, Chuck Long, Mike Leach, Kevin Sumlin, Kevin Wilson). The coaching tree has come up with four potential replacements:
COACHING TREE CONNECTIONS:
- WR coach at OU, 2008-present
- Played at Iowa from 1982-85 and was a graduate assistant at Iowa in 1986 and '87. Bob Stoops was a senior at Iowa in '82 and was a GA and assistant coach for the Hawkeyes through 1987.
Chuck Long is in his first year as offensive coordinator at Kansas. He was the head coach at San Diego State from 2006-08, where he had a record of 9-27.
COACHING TREE CONNECTIONS:
- Coached quarterbacks at Oklahoma from 1999-2005, spending the last four seasons as offensive coordinator as well.
- Played at Iowa from 1981-85. Bob Stoops played at Iowa from 1978-82 and was an assistant from 1983-87.
