According to a report by The Football Brainiacs, Washington State outside WR coach Dennis Simmons is a candidate for the Oklahoma Sooners vacancy. When asked whether he would be the new WR coach at Oklahoma today, Simmons said "I have no comment," according to the report.
I have been unable to confirm the report on the Washington State side, however a source close to the Oklahoma program says the Sooners have already made their two hires - receivers and defensive backs - and are waiting until after signing day to make the news official. The source says the rumor around Norman is that Simmons has already agreed to accept to position.
The obvious connection here is that Simmons worked with new Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley while at East Carolina and Texas Tech. The Sooners could likely offer Simmons, who has quickly become one of the top WR coaches in the nation, a substantial raise in salary.
I'm still working on confirming this story, so stay tuned.
