Coaching Career
- Joe Wickline is in his fourth year at Oklahoma State and his 27th year as a college football coach.
- Despite having only one senior, the 2007 Cowboy offensive line ranked third in the nation with just 11 sacks allowed in 13 games.
- In Big 12 play, the 2007 Cowboys allowed a league-low five sacks in eight conference games.
- OSU ended the 2007 season eighth nationally in rushing (243.2 yards per game) and easily led the Big 12 in that category.
- OSU was No. 7 nationally in total offense in 2007 (486.3 yards per game).
- Guard David Koenig was a 2007 selection to the Rivals.com All-America team in addition to garnering all-Big 12 honors.
- When the dust had settled in 2006, Oklahoma State had ended the season with an offense ranked No. 16 nationally and a rushing attack that finished seventh nationally. Along the way, senior tackle Corey Hilliard was a unanimous first-team all-Big 12 selection. The accomplishments came despite 13 starts up front by two OSU freshmen (Brady Bond and Russell Okung).
- Wickline, a 26-year coaching veteran, was one of three former University of Florida assistants to join head coach Mike Gundy's staff prior to the 2005 season. Thirteen of his 26 years of coaching have been in the Southeastern Conference.
- Wickline helped Charlie Johnson make a successful transition to the tackle spot from tight end. Johnson became the first OSU offensive lineman selected in the NFL Draft since 1985 when Indianapolis took him in 2006. He went on to a solid rookie season and played a pivotal role in the Colts' Super Bowl win over Chicago.
- The 2006 offensive line helped the Cowboys average more than 35 points per game and for the first time ever, the Cowboys had four players rush for at least 500 yards.
- At Ole Miss (1988-1994), Wickline coached All-American Everett Lindsay, who went on to a long career with the Minnesota Vikings. At Florida, he coached five All-Americans, including first-teamers Lomas Brown, Shannon Snell and Jeff Zimmerman. Wickline also coached Max Starks, a former tackle for the Gators who now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Current NFL linemen Kelvin Garmon and Derrick Fletcher also played for Wickline during his tenure at Baylor. Under Wickline's tutelage, 15 offensive linemen have received all-conference recognition, while 11 offensive linemen and one running back have signed NFL contracts.
- Wickline helped Florida's running game improve from 122.4 yards per game to 155.8 yards per game during his three years as offensive line coach. The 2004 Gator running game finished the regular season second in the SEC in yards per carry (4.5).
- He was the running game coordinator for Middle Tennessee in 2001 when Dwon Hicks broke the school record for single-season rushing touchdowns (20). The Blue Raiders also set new standards for total offense per game (481.4) and total offense per play (6.8) that season and ranked fifth nationally in total offense. Wickline's pupils include Lomas Brown, a first team All-American in 1984, and first-round draft pick of the Detroit Lions, and Jeff Zimmerman, a first-team All-American in both 1985 and 1986 and a third-round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 1987.
Personal
- Wickline played at Florida, where he was a three-year letterman. He was selected to play in the Blue-Gray Game following his Gator career. Wickline also lettered one season in wrestling.
- He was born Oct. 23, 1958, in St. Petersburg, Fla., and earned his bachelor's degree in health, physical education and recreation from Florida in 1983. He is married to the former Nicki Sturdivant and has three children, Lacey, Kelby and Lauren.
