Oklahoma football: New defensive coordinator busy making changes
New Oklahoma football defensive coordinator Alex Grinch is wasting little time bringing in new defensive assistants as part of the determined process to turn around the Sooners’ defensive struggles of the past several seasons.
Grinch, who last season was co-defensive coordinator at Ohio State, was hired Jan. 4 to lead the Sooners’ much-maligned defensive unit, which ranked 114th in the country last season. Oklahoma fired longtime defensive coordinator Mike Stoops after six games this past season. Stoops, who was at OU for two separate stints as the Sooners’ DC, totaling 12 seasons.
