OU Football: Thibodeaux Brought Back To Coach D-Line

Former OU defensive lineman Calvin Thibodeaux is returning to Norman to fill the Defensive Line coaching vacancy left by Diron Reynolds.

Thibodeaux has coached defensive linemen for six years, including stints at Tulsa and, most recently, Kansas. He played for Bob Stoops from 2002 to 2006 and earned All-Big 12 status in 2005 after a 10-sack season.
