My vote is for Grinch for his aptitude and how his coaching has resurrected OU's defense, and has made the future look good for defensive football. That was never more evident than last Saturday and that win signals a new beginning for OU to return to playing championship caliber defense.
Hurts is a great player, but Riley has an eye for great quarterbacks and he will always have quality at that position. Spencer Rattler and Tanner Mordecai are around for the future and Brock Vandagriff will come in 2021. (And for that matter, how many average QB's has OU had since the days of Josh Heupel ?)
I also add Coach Bedenbaugh who is finding and developing great offensive linemen. His work this year with a rebuilt line is incredible.
The future bodes well for OU and its coaching staff. I hope the staff can stay intact for a few years, but I know opportunities always come along.....but then, Riley also has a good eye for coaching talent as well.
