TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Less than a week after being named defensive line coach at SMU, Bill Young has been named defensive coordinator at the University of Tulsa.

TU head football coach Philip Montgomery announced the hiring of Young on Thursday and said he will also coach the defensive line.

Young was a part of the staff announced by SMU on Monday.

Young has some 45 years coaching experience, including as defensive coordinator at Tulsa during the 1980s. He has also been defensive coordinator at Ohio State, Oklahoma, Southern California, Miami, Kansas and Oklahoma State.

He spent last season as head coach at Yukon High School.
