I honestly think some of the blame for UT's struggles lies at the feet of Ehlinger, but, let them run off another coach off if that's what they want to do.
Speaking of coaches, and to your second point, how much credit does riley and his staff deserve for righting the ship, and getting us back on track? I think this team got better as the year progressed, and not just because of the return of different players.
Riley, Grinch and co have coached 'em up, and it showed when we stepped on O-states throat. Bedlam is seldom an easy win, but we dismantled the pokes in that game. Not to mention the play calling has been spectacular.
You watch. Next year, we are going to get after some folks. I've been watching football a long time, and I can see it building at OU.
