DG had a great game today, just knocked off no.2 Ohio St.
Its that time! RRS Week, who you got?
- Thread starter OUSOONER67
- Start date
that defensive back ws playing defense today, havent seen him play one snap of offense.
I can't remember if I asked this question before but when Joe C hired BV, was Dan Lanning actually interviewed for the job? I ask this because I hear different reports that Lanning actually was a candidate. I personally think BV was the only one offered and there was no interview with Lanning.
If not, I think JC might have dropped the ball.

I heard Lanning wanted the job.
This next part is speculation on my part but Bob Stoops said he played a role in hiring BV. He wouldn't say how much of a role but my guess is he wanted BV over Lanning.
I think Bob saying he had a role in BV hiring but wouldn't say how much of a role means he played a huge part in it.
Bob also had a big role in BV leaving OU in 2012 when Bob hired his incompetent brother Mike to be the "primary" defensive coordinator.
Same old crap in the post game presser. I gotta do a better job getting these guys ready to play. The other team was very good, blah blah blah.
I had strong opinions with regard to Lanning and Venables as well as DG and Arnold. Didn’t like BV hire but I think Lanning had already taken the Oregon job much to my disappointment. I didn’t want DG to leave but I was in the minority and understood why everyone was ready for Jackson to take over. Just thought knowing what we had with Dillion was a better situation for OU entering the SEC. Hindsight is almost always better but then there’s no guarantee that Dillion would be at his best with this offensive group and OC. Lanning was a no brainer, IMO. Just checked about Lanning hire at Oregon.
I was wrong. Lanning was hired 5 days after OU hired Venables so obviously he either wasn’t offered the job at OU or indicated he wasn’t interested. Maybe both are true.

To add insult to injury, Sark trolled BV after the game. Before the game, Venables said he would try a Fletchers corndog for the first time if Oklahoma had won. Instead, Texas won, and Sarkisian walked into the postgame press conference with a corndog in hand.
I guess turnabout is fair play. I doubt if Danny Stutsman will be selling any t-shirts or smoking a cigar this week.

My problem with Brent is his propensity for hiring coaches with OU ties and young guys he coached rather than seeking the successful up and comers with more experience. He’s a little too friendly in that way for me. I don’t know if Saban ever hired a friend but then again he didn’t make many friends, LOL.
I think Dillion had more yards passing than OU had in total offense.
So we have two young Qb's who have both made mistakes. To me Hawkins holds on to the ball way to long. He cant see the play as it develops. Casey Thompson is sitting on the bench he has seen and played lots of football, why not put him in yesterday to see what he can do. Why waste a scholarship spot on a 6th year senior if you arent going to play him.
We need an athletic director that can hold legacy coaches and players at an arms length when making important decisions. The AD should be making the decisions, not legacy personnel. Their place is on the sidelines as cheerleaders.
Is the Jacobe Johnson experiment over? Didnt see him once on offense, did see #19 playing defense though.
OU has 4 5-star players on the team and they all are on the bench for most of the game. That is just crazy to me. Let these guys go play and get game experience. Way back in my twisted dark mind I think BV is on a revenge tour, hes still upset about Mike Stoops coming in as DC. Going to take the 8mill/yr and dismantle the OU football program. I know thats not whats happening, but on paper on should be better that what we are seeing.
Obviously Bob has been good for OU, but he seems to be a lot more involved in hiring and decision making that he should be.
Bud Wilkinson recommended Gomer Jones to become OU head coach. Barry Switzer recommended John Blake to become OU head coach. We should have learned something about former head coach recommendations by now.
