Kevin Wilson returns as an offensive analyst

Good move, hopefully he will be able to help BV and Arbuckle manage the game clock. He's been a good OC, so between the two of them we should see a much improved offense. He is also a OL/TE coach, one position that needs to improve quickly.

Agree.
Given OU’s offensive line issues last season and an unproven WR corps this season, it’s hard to speculate on how this team will do against a tough schedule that will include a home game vs Michigan.
So much can go right or wrong, but Venables is pushing a lot of buttons to resolve the issues from a year ago.
My guess (and hope) is that the offensive line will improve with a very good influx of new talent, Mateer will prove to be a big upgrade at QB, the receiving corps also improves and the play calling becomes great again.
This team is in football limbo now and the inexcusable loss to Navy reveals how far Venables and his flawed leadership are from being good again.
 
University of Tulsa fired him on November 24, 2024 as their head football coach after two seasons going 2023: 4-8 overall and 2-6 in AAC, 2024: 3-9 overall and 1-7 in AAC. He had some big bad blow out losts last season, 2024- lost to North Texas 20-52, lost to Army 7-49, lost to UAB 21-59. lost to USF 30-63. Wilson went 7-16 in two season as Tulsa HC. Tre Lamb is the new head coach now at Tulsa. He took an East Tennessee State team who was 3-9 in 2023 to a 7-5 team in one year at ETSU (2024). Ryan Switzer was the interim HC for Tulsa last game of season and lost.

Ty Darlington is at Tulsa as their Tight End co-offensive coordinator coach. And Dominique Franks was kept by Lamb as the Cornerback coach. Franks was at Tulsa last year.

I have some fond memories of Kevin Wilson during his stint as OU's offensive coordinator. He took the offense to new heights after Chuck "third and" Long departed in 2005.
 
Are we talking about the same KW that would continually send running backs into brick wall defensive lines over and over and over again? OMG…..ugh
 
Wilson should be a good hire.
For me, much of OU’s resurrection hinges on the offensive line. So goes it, so goes any QB or RB. Last year reflects this.
Freshmen OL recruits, Fasusi and Fodje, are high level recruits who may not start, but could contribute well in the OL rotation.
Also, the two transfers and last season's returning linemen should improve Bedenbaugh’s group.
I believe a good offensive line will elevate all the so-called skill positions.
