Coach: Carey Bailey

STILLWATER, Okla. (U-WIRE) -- Sometimes change can be a good thing for a football team. For instance take the Oklahoma State Cowboys and their defensive line.

In February, then defensive line coach Karl Dunbar took a job in the NFL with the Chicago Bears. With the departure of Dunbar, the Cowboys lost one of their more popular coaches, as well as a tremendous recruiter.

Head coach Les Miles turned his sights towards Middle Tennessee State coach Carey Bailey as Dunbar's replacement.

"It's going very well," Bailey said. "Ball is ball, regardless of where you're at."

Bailey said he feels like the players are catching on to what he has to say and building off what previous coaching they have received.

"Fortunately enough, they've all gotten sound technical teaching," Bailey said. "There's a lot of carry over from what Karl was teaching."

Bailey coached at Middle Tennessee State for one season before joining the Cowboy coaching staff this past spring. Prior to his stint at MTSU, Bailey spent five years at Louisiana-Lafayette.

Minnesota football coach Glen Mason announced Friday he has filled three openings on his staff, promoting defensive backs coach David Lockwood to defensive coordinator, hiring Kerry Cooks to take Lockwood’s place and signing Carey Bailey as defensive line coach.

Bailey comes to Minnesota from Oklahoma State, where he was the defensive line coach last season.

He held the same position at Middle Tennessee State in 2003, and he has worked at Louisiana-Lafayette, Virginia Military Institute and West Virginia as well.

“I am very excited to be joining such an outstanding program,” Bailey said. “Minnesota has a rich tradition and history, and I am looking forward to helping the program build off their current success and hopefully achieving a Big Ten championship.”
