Doug Meacham To Be New Oklahoma State Offensive Coordinator

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State has hired a former Cowboy coach and player to be the new offensive coordinator. Doug Meacham, who was an offensive lineman in Stillwater from 1983-87, then tight ends and inside wide receivers coach from 2005-12, is the new offensive coordinator for the Pokes.

Pokes Report learned that Meacham informed his players at TCU after practice Thursday morning he’s leaving to take the job. 

Meacham has spent the last four years in Fort Worth at TCU, first as the inside receivers and tight ends coach in 2020, before earning the title of offensive coordinator in 2021. He’s been the inside receivers coach since 2022.

It would be a direct tie for transfer quarterback, Chandler Morris, who played for Meacham in 2021. The Horned Frog offense had a down year in ’21, completing 2,875 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, and 466 carries for 2,364 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns.

Prior to his time in Fort Worth, Meacham was the offensive coordinator at Kansas in 2017 and 2018, being the receivers coach in ’17 and quarterbacks coach in ’18. He came to Lawrence from his first stint at TCU, 2014-16, as the co-offensive coordinator and IWR coach. The Horned Frogs went 12-1 in 2014, finishing 3rd in the country. 

Quarterback Trevone Boykin completed 61% of his passes for 3,901 yards and 33 touchdowns, with the offense combining for 4,240 passing yards and 37 total passing touchdowns. As for rushing yards, they combined for 2,689 yards and 32 touchdowns on 501 carries.

Meacham began his coaching career in 1988 as a GA at NEO in Miami, before coming back to Stillwater as a GA/OL/LB coach from 1989-91. 

He was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Georgia Military from 1991-96, then the OC/OL coach at Jacksonville State, Henderson State and then Samford from 1997 to 2004.

Our coaching search on offensive side has become a disaster. If Meacham is any good why is he a WR coach on the same school he was OC?

Why was he not given chance when their OC left for Clemson?

What a huge disappointment.

My only hope is that this is a leak from someone in the athletic department intending to stir up all of the inevitably negative reactions to this as a Hail Mary to prevent the hire.

I can dream anyway.

Yikes. UNLV just hired Mullen, so Marion would rather stay as OC at UNLV after he got passed over rather than move to same job at OSU? Ouch!

Turmoil. Gundy may be on hot seat, so why relocate for possibly 1 year stint.

Doug Meacham's play calling duties were stripped away at TCU, and he was fired at Kansas. I wouldn't understand this move at all.

If we're going to hire a former coach, let's go after Mike Yurcich. He had a top 20 scoring offense in 8 of his 10 years as an FBS OC, and he was an excellent recruiter.

Yeah the BoR cost us multiple OC candidates to get their 15 minutes of fame.

Meacham has been successful as an OC in the past, and seems to be a pretty good receivers coach so while not the bright shiny new bauble it may be a great match. He does like to open it up.

Thanks a lot ego driven BOR chairman and and your damn donor swell heads! This is so damn ironic because Mecham left OSU back before 2013 when Yurcich was hired as OC over him! He had very good offenses in the 2014-2016 period under Patterson but I don't really know what he has done lately!

I would much rather have had Yurcich but he may have been one of the three guys that backed away after the BOR fiasco.

He may end up at Michigan!

What happened with Meach at KU taught him a lot…and he didn't get fired at TCU. He resigned to get the OC role at KU and did get fired after 2 years. TCU brought him back. If it's for real it will be great for OSU.

Michigan already hired a new OC.

Yes, I guess I missed seeing that! He is damn good and I wish he was coming here!

Surely, not that is a bad hire, couldn't we get an up and coming OC and not a position coach.
