SoonerKing Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 WOW big news. Give Castiglione and the University credit. They went BIG and barely missed with Rob Koll but have now landed Bill Zadick to leave Colorado Springs and lead the Sooners. What a revelation!

MidwestMan Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Brian Smith was hired at Mizzou in 1998 and if I remember right, Castiglione was the AD that hired him before heading to OU as their AD in the summer of "98". It sure worked out well for Mizzou. Hopefully, Oklahoma found their man if this news is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerDurden Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Castiglione is really top notch. Can't ask for much more from an AD. It's a tough job and he's done it as well as anyone has for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexRef Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I think OU is working hard to find a new coach. The question is do they go after an established coach like Manning or a young coach that is on the right path, such as Gavin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The question is do they go after an established coach like Manning..." I did post that and I was wondering what the seasoned veterans of the this forum (like yourself) would say. It appears that filling the OU position might be a lot harder than originally thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
