Sooooooo...
I dont have Ten Thgts. Sue me. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I feel like this is probably what it felt like to be a Sooner fan circa 97 or 96. Yesterday was the first time I didn't pick OU to win before a game since...NEVER. I saw uSC vs LSU and Bama and another game I can't remember. I knew they were Big, physical, mobile at qb and as good if not better than Tennessee up front. I picked an L and was pretty damn confident it'd happen. We not doing position groups tonight. We're looking at problems and solutions for each.

@Brandon Drumm @Parker Thune

Why are you saying it’s impossible to keep both QBs? Both haven’t showed anything. Why can’t there be an open QB battle going into next season

And you’re an idiot, if you think otherwise

Seth is gone. I'm sure he'll be okay and I'm personally sad to see him go. However, we have business to conduct and everyone has their fave candidate...and well, I have mine. His is a name no one has mentioned, but if I were OU Brass, he'd be #1 on my list.

* Disclaimer...if u heard our emergency pod, then you know who it is and I bet you already agree with me.

My pick:
1. Has a distinct and illustrious track record of working with qbs
2. Hes been on MULTIPLE staffs that have won National titles and has either called plays or been "co/pass game coordinator" on said teams.
3. Hes been mentored and groomed by possibly the best coach in college football today
4. Hes also NOT a pie in the sky option, meaning it'd be an upgrade, the economics make sense and our OC position would allow him a HBC position in the near future
5. He's been recruiting coordinator at some of the best programs in America
6. Hes sent 1st round draft pick qbs to the NFL
7. Hes been on opposite sidelines against us on multiple occasions and hasn't lost to us
8. If he jumped ship I'd be willing to bet players would come with him...HIGH 4 star and potential 5 star
9. Day 1, he'd give us a real and clear temperature check of our current talent/culture/environment vs the literal standard of college football the last 5 to 10yrs. He'd let us know if our practices and players cut the mustard.
10. I honestly believe he'd seriously consider us and if we were willing to pay 1.6mil plus...he wouldn't be able to say NO and his current school wouldn't be able to match because if they did, he'd impose on the "play caller" currently.

Sign me up TODAY for the Wr Coach and Co-OC at UGA Coach Coley.
Not only is their offense one that has been very multiple and effective of late. They can pass the ball, move the pocket, and run when they need to. Hes developed lessor qbs and turned high recruits in 1st Round Draft picks.
He knows what winning, physical culture looks like and as a past recruiting coordinator (at FSU) he's got to be a player's coach. He's the current "assistant HBC" which is a title we all know is given to a guy you don't want to leave but he's NOT the current play caller at UGA. However, he has called plays before.

My biggest reason...economically UGA can't match a big pay day if we offer one and not also up the ante on Bobo who does call plays. OU is now in the SEC and him coming here and fixing that side of the ball would merit him any HBC job in America in 2 or 3 seasons.

How many 1b and 2nd string guys from UGA jump ship with him if he takes the job? Guys who want to play and know OU is a true Blue Blood.

Tell me a better option that will solve a lot of our issues AND is realistic (guys like Hartline or Stein are not making a lateral move).

I totally SOLD myself...lol
My #2 is Junior Adams at Oregon for a lot of the same reasons. Although with Adams, I have a personal friend I've known since PeeWee football at the helm.

End of the day. I want a coach who comes and brings culture and players with them. As good as Indiana, UNLV, Pitt etc. are. Idk if any coordinator from said schools fixes our issues in a year. Coley is my slam dunk hire 🫡

Thgts...

I think it should be Arnold, honestly.

The first domino has fallen. But it's likely just the beginning.

Here's a look at the next things Brent Venables has to evaluate, both in the short term and the long term.

Also included are some injury updates from Venables.

Well, like it or not, the Sooners play football today.

OU takes on South Carolina at 11:45 a.m. on SEC Network. The full OUInsider team will have you covered. Follow along for live updates and observations.

Anyone have a score prediction?

On a lighter note other than OU's historically bad offense, Riley lost again! Sark and his fourth quarter double pass in a blow out arse lost too! There was some joy from the weekend, albeit petty!

Farewell to JJF, Demarco, BB, and Seth!

what WRs do we retain for next year? deion burks doesn’t have another year, right?

Mike passed away last week after along bout with memory related illnesses. He played defensive end in the early 70’s along side the Selmon brothers in Larry Lacewell’s outstanding defense. His first three years were under Chuck Fairbanks and the 1973 season under Coach Switzer. One highlight stands out when he moved to defensive tackle against USC in the 1973 game due to Dewey Selmon be medically unable to play. It may have been one of his strongest performances. He was a Sooner for life!

"I knew that I'd prepared the same way the past couple weeks. I knew God was going to provide time for me to step up and be there for my team and I was today."

The two worst offensive linemen I’ve ever watch play college football. Your telling me EPL can’t do better? I don’t believe it, there’s no possible way to suck worse, put his a$$ out there for fvcks sake

Going to go out on a limb and suggest this JJF move is temporary (it would be absolutely asinine and negligent if they kept him as OC)

I know some names have been thrown out there on previous posts. Who do we like? (Let’s avoid the ridiculousness of Kliff Kingsbury, Urban Meyer, other non-realistic names)

I like:

Shanahan- IU OC
Marion- UNLV OC
Arbuckle- Washington State

Who else?

title says it all!
