Oklahoma State made a decisive move by firing defensive coordinator Todd Grantham after just four games this season. The team wasted no time in promoting Clint Bowen, who had been serving in an offensive quality control role, to interim defensive coordinator. The promotion signals a critical shift in direction for a defense that has ranked among the worst in the nation. While Bowen may seem like an unconventional choice on paper, his experience, defensive pedigree, and renewed passion for coaching make him a compelling figure to lead the turnaround.
