Did Brent ever want to be a Head Coach?

Disclaimer- I’m all in on Brent and he needs at least three years.

I don’t think there is anyone on earth that cares more about OU and that he is going to do all he can to right this ship and get us to #8.


The reason I’m asking the question is because it doesn’t seem like he’s picked anything up from Bob or Dabo when it comes to managing any in-game situations.

That’s all been stated, but I’m really wondering if he’s invested the time to learn how to manage these things so that when he gets that HC job that he’s got a feel for it or if he’s had his head down with the defense the whole time.

In business (sales for example) you’ve got folks that want to be the most badass individual contributor they can be and make a shit ton of money being the best. You’ve got others that want to be the best and also want to move into leadership and do the things to prepare for that move.

The dude is a brilliant defensive coordinator. I just wonder if Joe C forced his hand on a job he never knew he wanted/never expected to get or if he was always preparing for a top profile HC job.

Right now we’ve got a bunch of bright, young assistant coaches, Brent, and then an older def coordinator figurehead that wasn’t successful at previous stops.

It’s completely disjointed and worse- no one is willing to get in Brent’s ear.
Was there anyone that said anything or spoke up while Lebby was trying to blow the OSU game?

I’ve never seen a team struggle with substitution rules and we’ve had it 2-3 times where we’ve almost cost a delay of game (or did).

This is just one of 8-10 things throughout a game that look off…even to a regular guy that’s just watched a bunch of football. And it’s costing us games.

I wonder if Brent’s ceiling is higher than say a Rhule or a Dykes, but his floor is lower.

We’re rebuilding it having taken it down to the studs and we have a head coach and staff that is learning on the job.
