OSU Fires Defensive Coordinator Todd Grantham

What it means for OSU Football right now

Oklahoma State fired Defensive Coordinator Todd Grantham following weeks of defensive breakdowns. The Cowboys struggled on third down, gave up explosive plays, and couldn’t generate consistent pressure.

Bowen steps in; goals: simplify, tackle, takeaways

Clint Bowen takes over as interim DC. Expect simplified calls, emphasis on fundamentals and tackling, and a renewed push for turnovers. Athletic Director Chad Weiberg called the move difficult but necessary to “reset” the season.

The stretch ahead

The OSU Cowboys face a pivotal stretch where defensive improvement must translate into wins. If Bowen stabilizes the unit, he could play into long-term plans.
