I’d like to see them either hire Gary Patterson and let him take over the D entirely, with his own philosophy, or promote Brandon Hall and let him manage the game using BV’s game plan. BV has to get more locked in on overall game management.

Was told Wanya Morris is going to declare for the draft.

Kind of head scratching but best of luck to him.

No sunshine pumper and I gripe a lot. Although this season wasn’t a success to OU standards I’m looking forward to the future of what this coaching staff will accomplish. Let’s keep this recruiting class together and get the kids in here for the schemes the coaches are trying to implement. Going to take a while to get SEC ready and we all know the changes are going to hurt.

I’m 70 and don’t want to be head coach. But I have heard this from OU coaches after all 6 losses.….
- The guys fought their guts out.
- Coaches didn’t do enough to help them
And the fans are saying the transfer portal will save us

Transfer portal sucks.
‘Give Venables tim is all I know

You decide. No review at all for this too? Looked good when watching it live as well.

Where is it @ ? .... need it @Eddie_Rado


Or no pod ?

Brent Venables- F. Just bad all the way around. I still believe in him. But my confidence is waning. 6-6 is just not good enough at OU.

Ted Roof- F. Not the true DC but gives you next to nothing.

Miguel Chavis- C-. Recruiting wise he gets a higher grade but the ends weren’t good this year.

Brandon Hall - C-. Safeties weren’t awful given what he has to work with. Bowman showed true improvement (except for last night).

Joseph Valai- B. Corners were actually the best unit on the defense.

Todd Bates- C-. Arguably the best d line coach in the country when they hired him. Has to get some monsters up front.

Lebby- C+. This may seem high, but I still love some of his concepts, he absolutely has to be better, but the offense wasn’t the main issue this year.

Demarco Murray- A. Gray improved dramatically, and Barnes had just under 500 yards as a true freshman.

Bull Bedenbaugh- B+. Arguably the best unit on the team. He still has a horrible habit of playing guys who just aren’t any good.

L’Damain Washington- C+. Really tough spot for him. A lot to ask of him.

Joe Jon Finley- C. Willis improved a lot but that room isn’t what it should be.

Jay Nunez- D. Special teams were once again awful. Kickoff coverage was terrible, no punt returns for touchdowns, no kickoff returns for touchdowns, no blocked field goals or punts. Overall just bad.

Overall this staff has to be so much better (obviously) next season. Just a major disappointment. It starts with getting a big time receivers coach and getting that done ASAP. Can’t wait around for that. Also, have to do something about roof. I know it’s not his defense and it’s Venables, but Roof gives you nothing at all as @Josh_M said last night. Very disappointed in this season. Have to find a way to close this class and try and flip Bowman and hicks. If I’m a betting man? I don’t think we get either one of them.

After bobs first year, I’m two young to remember, but were there coaches fired or players being processed. We’re there any real changes?

In my opinion, the success of this season will only be determined by whether or not they learn from everything and can grow from it next year.

If there’s definite growth: success.

If it looks the same: this was stupid.

…while we finish 6-6 makes TBOW look like a genius and makes OU look like someone took a shit on itself. I hate it.

I need my fix…

Chris plank kept saying we'll be joined by Venables shortly last night after the game and BV never showed up to do his interview with him and Gabe. Instead Roof and Lebby gave piss poor answers. Starts at the top if you ask me - take some accountability BV

Ok so this season is over. Bowl game will give the staff a chance to work with younger guys more then they have had the chance to.

From now on we get to watch for progress in player development both physically and mentally.

If that doesn’t become somewhat apparent by springtime then there will be time to bitch.

For those pointing at USC VS OU, it’s a purely emotional and childish stance. Caleb Williams may be the best QB in college football. Jordan Addison was the top WR in college football. The PAC is weak. TBOW is a good coach. He left for many reasons and one of them was the lack of talent returning for this year. If he gets to play off we know what will happen. The foundation will not be there for USC.

Again, let’s watch for progress in the foundation. I’m not telling anyone not to voice your opinion but I do ask what’s the benefit of trashing the players and coaches? Zero, but there is undoubtedly a risk in doing so.

Left Arky. My Arky SIL says OU.

One possession game we won last year:

Tulane 35-40
Nebraska 23-16
WV 16-13
KSU 37-31
Texas 55-48

Lets see if any of you yahoos can tell me how many one-possession games we lost this year.

That is an elite QB. You have Baker or Kyler or Caleb and this is the same 11-1 regular season team we’ve had for years. Honestly most fan’s thought it would be fixed year 1. I thought it would be better but it’s clear this is the same type of defense we e had and years of piss poor coaching and development has left this program in a bad spot.Maybe BV won’t be the answer maybe he will keep the class together which has an elite QB and some other dman good players if he can close our strong maybe they get them developed and we get to the level we should be at with a legit offense and defense. What makes it worse is the fact SC prbly gets playoffs and TBOW gets another hiesman under his belt. Hopefully they get blown out.

I’m ready to throw in the towel on Brent. That is the #1 thing I’ll be watching over the coming months. Watching his postgame, he has zero answers and brings exactly nothing to the table as a member of this staff. Completely worthless.

Were there some bad coaching decisions this season absolutely. However this team is 6-6 due to talent pure and simple. What player in OU’s secondary was more athletic than their receivers? Maybe a “healthy” Bowman but that’s it. Before tonight you can put a lot of the offensive struggles on DG and some timely drops. The main issue is they are so void of their usual talent they have to play perfectly. their margin for error is so small that these plays just get magnified. I was at many or watched the games from 96-98 and rest easy this is not like those years. Now it’s simple, close on this recruiting class! Take the gloves off and go after who you want in the portal! I kinda like the idea of an embarrassed pissed off coaching staff.

A lifetime of terrific and improbable finishes, gone in a flash. 0-4 in one possession games.

Ugh….sucks fellas.

I can’t wait to see what this dude can do in Year 2 at OU. DG has that IT factor to him and will lead us to a Conference Championship next year.

He would’ve easily done it this year if he had a defense that would help him out.

Gabriel is a true Sooner and a winner and we are LUCKY to have him.

great Neil Young song. Bijan heck of a game !!
