OKLAHOMA CITY -- After former head coach Todd Graham left the University of Tulsa to take the Pittsburgh head coaching job, Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham said there would be a quick turnaround.

Five days later, Senior Associate Head Coach Bill Blankenship was promoted to be the head man for the Golden Hurricane.

The new TU head coach stopped by the Tulsa studio to talk to Dean Blevins and John Holcomb.
