[Plainosooner]

Announced late this morning.

 

[Schoonerman]

Outstanding news! Best of luck to Calvin in his new role and in his career!

 

[dfwsoonerfan]

Great hire!

 

[barkingwater2000]

I bet he couldn't get out of Kansas fast enough.

 

[BillyRay]

Great move for Thib!!

 

[CTOkie]

Based on reports several days ago, I figured he would get the job. I like his Texas roots and that he's considered a rising star.

Looking at his resume, I saw an interesting bit of trivia. Calvin went to all four of the major bowls with the Sooners; Sugar, Orange, Rose and Fiesta.

What was his record is those 4 bowls? 1-3?

Got beat by LSU, USC, and WVU. We beat WSU is the Rose

2007 Fiesta Bowl - Loss to Boise State 42-43

Thibodeaux cannot be discredited for OU's bowl record during his time at OU.
By that kind of logic, should we discredit Bob Stoops for being a 4 year starter at Iowa (1979-82) on a team that had two losing seasons and a 1-1 bowl record during his years there ?

Oh yeah - BSU Sorry for my confusion. I was at both the BSU and WVU games. And in my defense I didn't include the Holiday because the poster said the 4 major bowls.

But thanks for the correction. Seriously

I agree with you. You can't blame Thibs for those losses. I was trying to be a smart alec. Sorry

Welcome aboard the Sooner train CT. Houston native which should help recruiting of DL. Now we can get on with spring practices.

 

[Oklabama]

It just makes me feel good when a former Sooner comes back home. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. I can accept that. Bully, Calvin. Welcome back! Boomer.
