DCs Lupoi and Golding. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them mysteriously take jobs elsewhere lateral etc. Word is Saban is trying to correct the defense and it started with them. Not in stone but don’t be surprised in the next few days/weeks

If that happens watch out for:
Shoop
Aranda
Schumman
Schiano

Also a few surprises thinking about testing NFL. Will meet with Saban tomorrow or Friday.

Shyheim Carter
Raekwon and Jonah on the fence


Kinda shocking if true. Makes you wonder if Riley ever even extended an offer to Golding.

Also I loved the line “Saban is trying to correct the defense” man it must be nice to correct a defense who allowed below 17ppg.

And by the way, we are literally recording a podcast right now.

@Josh_M dishes on Alex Grinch the recruiter here

@SoonerGrad95 how many likes on this post to get you to change your sig to something significantly smaller?

Really though - no disrespect, but please do your fellow posters a favor.

Say what you want about Tim Kish but he's about as good of a guy as they come.

Three incoming 5 star WR’s and a wealth of other players wanting the ball, only so much love to spread around...

In Manhattan.

@Eddie_Rado after finished with weather can you give all points bulletin update if anything else is missing besides the money?

I'm certain Grinch will improve things, but the back seven still seems to have question marks.

I have a gut feeling, I think in Grinch's Scheme Caleb Kelly might be someone we see flourish. He ones of those do it all guys I have a feeling Grinch might weaponize like he did Hercules Mata'fa. He's smaller then Hercules, not by much though (Hercules was listed at 250...so prolly in the 240s), but grinch loves that kinda of guy. I think Kelly will benefit from an aggressive scheme as well.

So, there was a lot of rumor mill from "insiders" that Golding was a done deal Interesting stuff Wonder what the truth is.. Was he ever even talked to?

I’m looking forward to see how everything changes.

KU got Les Miles
WV got Neal Brown
KState got Chris Klieman

Iowa St. has improved with Matt Campbell
OU got Alex Grinch as a DC

Don’t forget Fexas is “back”...

This conference is going to change and I can’t wait for next season to start already!

Boomer! I’m excited for Grinch to get to work and see what he can do. His WSU teams averaged around 2 turnovers a game. Just that alone with our offense is a game changer!

Purse & shoe shopping ? We all know she’s OUr real closer .

I posted this on the Grinch rumors swirling thread but I'll pin it because I know we're reaching a boiling point with people expecting something soon:

Maybe it's just because we talk about it more openly on the podcast but I've been saying for a while that Grinch is someone that Lincoln has been intrigued by for a long time. Going into this thing, he was a more serious candidate than Golding just because Lincoln is familiar with what he does. They even tried incorporating some of his concepts into their defense this year at Lincoln's request. But as often happens, if you aren't the one who designed a concept, it's not always easy to implement it and demand it be run the way it should be run.

I think I even posted that about a month ago. And we've all believed that the Golding stuff wasn't going to happen for a while. Although Alabama people in Florida made me believe Golding won't be getting a pay raise at Alabama because that might create complications with Tosh Lupoi and if someone paid him enough, he might consider leaving. But as I've also said many times, if Golding's ultimate goal is to be a Power 5 head coach, he's gonna stay at Alabama until he's the DC and he gets that offer. Because Alabama DC's get head coaching jobs.

I can tell you that when I was talking to people yesterday about Riley's contract, I was told he was razor focused right now on the DC hiring since he got back from Florida. I don't think it will take long for Lincoln to have his guy. And if that guy is Grinch, it could happen quickly. Not sure what Ryan Day will offer Grinch to stay but he's got Kevin Wilson and Mike Yurcich on his offensive staff now so he's into stockpiling coaching talent.

I have yet to hear anything that Lincoln has reached an agreement with anyone. Just continuing to keep my ear to the ground on that.

Who do you prefer? I am kind of torn. I feel like either would be good but am I wrong thinking that Golding coming from Bama would be the more splashy hire?

@Josh_M @BPrzybylo @Carey Murdock @sooner55 I am curious to hear your thoughts as I don't think I have seen anything like that from you guys. Both from an X's and O's and recruiting perspective.

Paul says SEC teams are just not interested unless they are in the playoffs. Simple solution! Make the playoffs the SEC invitational with top 4 teams playing the other power 4 winners, thus! SEC schools stay interested in bowl games! Yes Paul was on ESPN & was asked about SEC record in bowls and particularly Georgia and his claim that Dogs were just not interested after not making playoffs. Considering his position--always**and every year ESPN always saying at least 2 SEC teams should be in playoffs it was not hard to get to the 4 team invitational. AND we will hear it again next August!!!!!

type of DB we have not been able to land lately. All though it’s improving I’m hoping a new DC can land a few with his type. i.e. Proctor and D Hill.

Eddie and myself are back home. Carey had to check out in a hurry and didn't have time to post this stuff before he heads back to Norman.

Has he woken up yet or is he at died? Did he hurt his knee? It looked like some sort of lower leg injury the way he was coming off the field.

USC-it would help with California recruits even more

Texas A&M- just love beating that ass and for some dumb reason they’ve gotten so cocky. Need to put them back in their place

Alabama-was a blast in 02 and 03 and I feel like we’ve got the horses coming in to close the gap on talent





Teams we’ve got scheduled that have me pumped:

Nebraska- we’ve got a 4 game schedule set up with them coming up that i am amped about.

Michigan-we’ve got them scheduled for ‘24 and ‘25 and I can’t wait

Cal grad. Young like Riley very well spoken and
Video of him talking to D warming up saying we are getting a tip /int or turnover today in practice was very impressive. I thought earlier that he would be a B hire, but he reminds me of a well spoken- in control Brent V. Seems like a LR on the defensive side on the videos posted. WS

If both aren’t fired by Friday I would be shocked.

This is actually happening. This is not a drill. OU-Bama is 10 minutes away.

played his arse off last night he was trying to do his best he was a true Sooner. He will be damn sore today.

When the damn announcers are asking, at what point will OU take away the inside route, you’d have to think someone on the OU staff has thought of the that?????
