If you were stunned by the news that Brad Underwood has decided to leave Oklahoma State after one year to coach at Illinois, you aren’t alone. In fact, Oklahoma State officials likely learned about it just as you did: on Twitter. Here’s what ESPN’s Andy Katz reported on Saturday afternoon:

Just spoke with an Oklahoma State official and was told Brad Underwood flew back with the team after the Michigan game Friday, landing at 8 pm CT. There was no indication he was leaving. School official was stunned and learned about his hiring at Illinois via twitter.

I’m sure we will learn more soon about why Underwood left, why he picked Illinois, and the back story for how this all went down. But it seems OSU officials were just as blindsided as you and I were by the news.
