If this is true, what is the logic in releasing it now instead of several weeks ago? OSU stll has Mizzou in a bowl game so that obviously wasn't what they were waiting on.

I think the offer has been on the table, and possibly accepted.  Doug Mathews has been emphatic  that Pruitt has his OC for several weeks now.
I suspect that Pruitt agreed to keep it quiet through the bowl game but it appears the leak came from the OSU side.

Would be a good hire IMO.

Close to a homerun, all things considered.

But so was Shoop we thought.  So, we'll see.

Yes, Shoop wasn't the problem obviously.

His boss flirted with UT and got a big raise- twice. Let's hope this isn't a case of Yurcich following Gundy's lead. I'm a little gun shy when it comes to Okie State coaches at this point.

But it sounds like he'd be a good hire if he accepts.

It leaking from the OSU side is odd. Would be good get IMO, but I don't see it. I don't trust Okie State in the least when it comes to coaching searches.

Seems like he'd be a good hire, but I always assume leaks are from agents.
