tmh8286 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 An absolutely terrific pick up for the staff...the guy simply never has a bad day...truly a win/win deal for everyone involved! Couldn't agree more, GB. I saw him at the SS Team Camp this past weekend - he works a crowd like a politician - only with a lot more sincerity! He's just a super nice guy. I wanted to tell him welcome back to ORU, but I didn't quite have the nerve. Anyway, it's really great to see him back at ORU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Kyan was nice before he had to be nice... I remember him working at JL Johnson Stadium while he was a student and always being pleasant and courteous. Great move (again) by Scott Sutton. Nice to have an alum on the coaching staff. Is this the first one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbl78 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sounds like a great hire. Does this mean someone on the present staff is leaving - or will they reassign positions, and fill the position vacated by Conley Clarke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKC Eagle Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 “We’re very pleased about Kyan returning to ORU,” said Sutton. “He’s worked his way through the college coaching ranks, from junior college, to Missouri State and now here. He did a great job for Barry, and his enthusiasm and passion for the game make him a great addition to our staff.” I like how Scott seems to indicate that ORU is a step up from Missouri State in the coaching ranks. I'm not sure that is quite true (although based on his relative jobs at each place it could be an obvious improvement), but I like the attitude.
