Bill Young

I just saw an announcement that Bill Young passed away. RIP to a legend and to the guy who helped reinvent our defense and prepare Gillespie to take over. He coached at all 3 FBS schools in Oklahoma.

I always enjoyed talking with coach Young when I got a chance. He was a very important person in TU history, from John Cooper to Monty. A terrific, underrated coach. And was a good guy.

Bill was a great coach and great person. Always wonderful to deal with.

A passionate man about his craft (football). A nice guy.

Oh no! Not that old. Shame he did not have more time to enjoy retirement but the human condition is fragile.

I’m glad TU hired him & he left college football with a proper retirement. Prayers for his wife and family. He was a good man.

May Bill rest in eternal love and peace.
