Oklahoma State fires defensive corodinator Todd Grantham
STILLWATER — Oklahoma State fired defensive coordinator Todd Grantham on Sunday afternoon. Grantham joined the coaching staff during the off-season and served just four games into a three-year contract. Clint Bowen, a quality control coach, will become OSU's interim defensive coordinator. He's spent 14 seasons as a FBS coordinator during his career. The news comes just five days after the school abruptly parted ways with head coach Mike Gundy.

It ends his 21-year run running the program. Tuesday’s news was abrupt, but not unexpected.
