Prevoiusly, Blake had served as the defensive line coach on Bill Callahan's staff at the University of Nebraska from 2004-2006. He also held the same position at Mississippi State University in 2003. Mississippi State was the first college coaching job he has held since being the head coach for the University of Oklahoma Sooners from 1996-1998. Blake compiled a career record of 12-22 in just three years, reflecting one of the school's worst stretches in modern history. Prior to his arrival in Norman, Blake had served as the defensive line coach for the Dallas Cowboys, working alongside current UNC coach Butch Davis and former Sooner and then Cowboy head coach Barry Switzer. The Dallas Cowboys won two Super Bowls during Blake's stint. Thirteen of the 22 Starters on the 2000 Oklahoma National Championship team were recruited by Blake.
