Happy Tuesday, friends and fans!
The Oklahoma Sooners have hired Joe Jon Finley — the former OU TE who lettered from ‘04 to ‘07 — to coach tight ends and H-backs. He makes his return to Norman after last serving on the staff as a graduate assistant in 2013.
Before he kicked off his career as a coach, Finley spent fives seasons in the NFL, making three stops with the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers.
After he hung up the pads for good, Finley put on a headset and took on his first major collegiate coaching role with the Baylor Bears as an offensive quality control coach in 2015.
