Mike Stoops Joins Oklahoma

       Sources close to the University of Oklahoma say that Mike Stoops is to be joining the Oklahoma staff as a Co Defensive coordinator. The official announcement of this is supposed to come sometime Wednesday. With this addition Oklahoma is set for big things next season. While this year their offense was one of the elite offenses in the country averaging 39.5 points a game and also averaging  512.3 yards per game. With the return of Landry Jones and the hopeful recovery of Dominique Whaley who played in only 7 games in 2011 before suffering a season ending injury but averaged 89.6 yards a game and also ran in 9 TDs.

       Oklahoma's offense is set for success and with the addition of Mike Stoops to the defensive staff I believe the defense is set for success as well. In 2011 OU ranked 79th in passing defense and gave up a lot of huge plays in their 3 losses. When Mike Stoops was the DC at OU his passing defense was ranked 2nd in the country. The talent is most certainly  there on defense.With Brent Venables' energy and Mike Stoops play calling and discipline I think OU has a really good shot of winning the Big12, and possibly making a run for a National championship. The pieces are all coming together in Norman now it's time for them to capitalize on it.
