OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma has hired Northwestern offensive line coach James Patton to serve in the same position on the Sooners' staff.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops had an opening on his staff after receivers coach and passing game coordinator Darrell Wyatt left for a job with the Minnesota Vikings last month.
Kevin Wilson had been the Sooners' offensive line coach but was promoted to offensive coordinator to replace Chuck Long, who became the head coach at San Diego State in December.
Stoops also announced the juggling of coaching responsibilities within his staff. Wilson will now coach tight ends and fullbacks. Kevin Sumlin, who's coached tight ends for three seasons, now will coach receivers and add the titles of co-offensive coordinator and passing game coordinator.
Patton spent the past seven seasons at Northwestern, five as offensive line coach.
