Thanks.

The most notable thing there IMO was that Kruger said his OU staff will be a mix of his current assistants and new guys.

Terry Evans, come on down...

I hope Terry Evans is on board..I just wonder if he wants to be an assistant. I hope that happens.

One word (CLASS)

 

[ouneday]

just hope he doesn't pull a Gene Stephenson at the press conference here...

 

[Escape Goat]

I am really excited about this hire and can't wait for him to get started. He exudes class all around and well help OU tremendously. And to top it all off, he kinda sounds and looks like McGruber so that's cool!

his players that were interviewed seemed really down. good sign. rock solid hire. hard to see much downside.

FWIW in the Oklahoman's story......

Kruger didn’t officially take the job until Friday afternoon, but Evans said he and Kruger chatted about OU’s current roster and the recruiting landscape the next few years.

But Evans said he told Kruger to take the job and hire Evans onto his staff, a move which sources said OU officials would endorse.

“I would absolutely love it,” Evans said.

Coaches love to hire other coaches that were competing with them for the job.

I think Kruger is going to at least interview Evans for a position on the staff. All the signs are there and I'm sure Castiglione mentioned it when he interviewed Kruger.

 

[WTSooner]

I just hope that Kruger isn't bad-mouthed if he DOESN'T hire Evans. There are definitely some good reasons to hire him, but there are some decent reasons not to as well. I trust Lon will make the best decision for the OU program.

That worked for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Oh wait...

You really think they were in "competition"? Hell, maybe Evans and Joe C. talked about this EXACT scenario instead of really talking about the head coaching position. Honestly, it's the best possible scenario for Terry as he gets to be an assistant on Kruger's staff and then has a shot at the job, assuming things go well, when Lon retires.
