Oklahoma State and coach Mike Gundy announced the hiring of Bob Connelly as Joe Wickline's replacement coaching the offensive line. Connelly has coached collegiately for 18 years. He previously coached the o-line for Todd Graham at Arizona State before being fired in February of 2013.

Connelly has bounced around the country for nearly two decades coaching the offensive lines at UTEP, UCLA, Alabama and Washington State as well as Texas A&M-Commerce, Cisco Junior College, Cal State Northridge and San Jose State.

Connelly coached at Gilbert High School (AZ) last year.

He's known for invoking a strong run-blocking scheme and was named one of the nation's top-25 recruiters in 2005, while at Alabama.
