I'm sad to see Mike Stoops steal Heupel, but I guess it was time for him to move up in the world from Grad Assistant, to full assistant elsewhere.

If Jason White doesn't make it to the NFL, maybe he can take Heupel's place. Boy, wouldn't that be interesting!

"Heupel hired as Arizona assistant


By The Associated Press

TULSA -- Former Oklahoma quarterback and current graduate assistant Josh Heupel said he's been hired as a full-time assistant at Arizona.
Arizona head coach Mike Stoops is to formally announce the hiring.

Heupel said he will coach tight ends and either offensive tackles or fullbacks.

Arizona was just 3-and-8 in Stoops' first season, but won two of its last three games and upset 18th-ranked Arizona State in the season finale. The Wildcats current recruiting class is ranked by some as among the top 20 in the nation.

Heupel led OU to a 13-and-0 record and the national championship in 2000 and still holds school records for most 300-yard games with eight, 400-yard games with two and consecutive games with a touchdown pass with 25. "

Congratulations to Josh for finally moving up the ladder. I'm also sorry to see him leave OU, but since the opportunity was given to him at Arizona I don't blame him for taking it.

I question whether Jason White will make it in the NFL. He reminds me a lot of Josh Heupel. He's an excellent athlete, but doesn't have as strong of an arm as some of the other QB's. I wouldn't mind seeing him come on as an assistant at OU. But, if he can make it in the NFL, I'd be happy to watch him.

Good for Josh...

As far as White, I think he'll be a good back-up somewhere for a couple years, maybe Green Bay or Chicago. Not likely a starter though, because he has "injury issues", even if he's gotten over them.

Yeah, I think you're right.....a back up position will probably be his best bet.

Anyone know what Nate Hybl is doing?

Last I heard he was hurt and the fourth string for the Browns...I'll look it up...

Add: About the most current thing I could find....http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/foo...nsactions.html

Hmmmm...I just looked it up on the NFL page. nfl.com. Hybl is no longer listed on the Cleveland page, and he's no longer listed on the overall NFL roster. I guess he's out.

Honestly, I wouldn't quite go strictly by the NFL.com site...It's possible that he's back on the practice squad by now, with them being out of the playoffs and all..

It amazes me how these guys leave as successful college quarterbacks, then go to the NFL and become either 3rd or 4th string quarterbacks. I know NFL is a lot tougher than college, and it seems as if the guys in the NFL are a lot bigger also.

I guess when you have had injuries in college, you really have to prove yourself even more in the NFL
