Just announced that current secondary coach Lorenzo Ward hired as the new DC.
Ward is a very good recruiter and it was key to at least keep him on the staff, but since he's been at SC the D has gotten torched against every single team that has a passing offense with a pulse, minus Clemson this season.
First reaction is that don't like the hire at all and thinking Ward got the job because he's good buddies with Spurrier and not because he's the best candidate. Time will tell though, but Stoops wanted the job and there were numerous other big time out of house candidates to look at.
