Don’t look for Bob Stoops to bring in a replacement for Kevin Sumlin right. That’s not going to happen.

     Sumlin, who is heading to the Houston as the Cougars new head coach, will stick with the Sooners through the Fiesta Bowl contest with West Virginia. There really isn’t a sense of urgency to hire someone immediately.

     A name that could enter the picture is Jay Norvel, who is currently unemployed. OU fans might not remember but Norvel was on the Oklahoma staff for a short time, a very short time.

     He had been coach in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. Stoops then hired him to become the wide receivers coach at OU. He didn’t stay more than a couple of weeks. He had a desire to get back into the NFL and when Bill Callahan became the head coach of the Oakland Raiders, he lured Norvel to his staff.

     When Callahan got fired there he brought Norvel to Nebraska as his offensive coordinator. He stayed there for a couple of year and then went to UCLA as the offensive coordinator. The Bruins are currently looking for a new coach.

    There are some who think Stoops should hire former assistant Darrell Wyatt, but that’s not going to happen. Wyatt left OU two years ago and went to the Minnesota Vikings. He lasted one year there and the past season he was with Mike Stoops at Arizona.

     There’s no way Stoops is going to raid his younger brothers staff, especially when Mike will be fighting for his job next season.

     Some will point out that he took away Josh Heupel from Arizona. That was a different situation however because Heupel played at OU.

     And while talking abou Heupel, it will be a shock if Stoops does not promote him as co-offensive coordinator, a title that Sumlin held. Heupel is a future star in the coaching profession. When Kevin Wilson gets a head coaching job, look for the ex-Sooner quarterback to become the offensive coordinator.
