Open Post | Wednesday, Dec. 2nd (UPDATE 6:41 pm)
Posted on: December 2, 2015
– Parnell Motley: Sooners are the hot team right now. So, there’s no doubt that the OU staff is definitely trying to latch on to the momentum of winning the Big 12 and a likely spot in the playoff. We have been told that 2016 DB, and Maryland commit, Parnell Motley (Washington DC) has set up a visit to OU for December 11th. We are not sure how the recent hire of DJ Durkin may effect this but I hope to catch up with Motley this week. – (Brandon)
– Andraez Williams: The same day Motley is expected to visit, 2016 defensive back Andraez ‘Greedy’ Williams (LSU commit) is set to visit, as well. – (Brandon)
– Levi Draper: Keep a very close eye on this one…

Draper news is exciting!
How many DB’s can we take?
By the sound of things, 18 – 22. Kidding aside, I have no idea who is on top of their target list.
Just seems like we talk about “maybe” taking 1 more DB if he’s the right guy, and then next thing ya know we’re offering another new one. Not complaining, just curious.
Coaches probably feel, if the kids are good enough athletes they can play both sides of the ball.
Williams, Obah, and Burton are the only names I am really seeing as a legit deal for OU as far as DB’s go TFB also mentioned that kid from Florida yesterday!
What about Clifford Chatmon..LSU commit currently
Forgot about him TBH, but also TBH, I think I really like the first 3 I named more. Plus if Les is staying in LSU he may be staying as well.
Not many more but in the Big 12 you can not have enough. IMO
Eyes are wide open
I have a full heart
Right on!

Me too!
I think it was a matter of time but, I really think that Draper was always a silent commit to the Sooners at heart mean maybe the commitment to OSU was a move inspired by his parents to maybe help get the OU ball moving a lil more who knows. But, think by all I have read Draper was an OU kid from day 1 and I fully expect he will be a Sooner before long!
!!!!!
Draper to OU confirmed.
Yea where is the confirmation at tho!
Sometimes you just know.
Bahahaha
https://twitter.com/_TMOE55/status/672181818964119552
I was just going to announce that….gotta be quick to beat Esco around here….great job Jordan!
LOL I heard that he was most likely heading the JUCO route cause of grades. But, if he wants to be a Sooner fine if not whatever give me Price over him!
I hope OU is in his top 5. Maybe he will announce when he expects to make it final. Moore and E.J. Price would complete the offensive line for 2016.
Huge news that OU is getting a visit from Andraez Williams. Saw him at a camp setting in the summer and man kid has great length at the pos & unbelievable ball skills.
Would you rather have him or Eboh I think thats right the kid from Texas?
Got to go with Williams if I’m OU. Like Eboh though too, good kid.
Well Williams sounds like a stud but so does Eboh so I’ll take either one, hear that Brandon Burton kid is a stud too tho but, think he is more of a Safety.
Eboh takes a guy away from UT while at same time we get him. That’s more valuable to OU IMO.
I’m still greedy for BOOMS. Gimme some. Gimme some.
Just feel like saying this,
I Love OU.
This program, particularly the football team, has provided me with so many years of satisfaction; that distraction from the real world that we all need.
There’s so much about the Sooners to be proud of that any list could never be complete- there’s nothing like that feeling when you see them run onto the field in those classic uni’s that ooze tradition, pride and success. This team strikes fear into the hearts of their opponents as soon as they hit the field.
Here’s to many more years of enjoying the success of our favorite distraction and sharing them with fans like those found here at TFB.
BOOMER!!!
SOONER…of course!
Bear I am so proud of this team and our coach’s.However far we go this year will not change that BOOMER FREAKING SOONER! EDIT win it allllllllll
It seems like OU will only take 2 or 3 LBS in 2017. ( Draper , Hines , Browning )
Haven’t heard of Hines or Browing first names please or a link to see some highlights on them. Think that number will go down if OU does in fact land Kelly and Juraez both and with Draper apparently in the mix would be a lil heavy on LB numbers I would guess, unless last years class was just so small they could take 2-3 more in next years!
Kelly and Juarez are ’16, Draper, Hines, and Browning are ’17s
I like Mique
I really like him too , great team player.
Si…mucho…did anyone hear about his trip to stoolwater?
I only know what he witnessed 😉
He actually didn’t make it to Stillwater this weekend
ahh ok…thanks
well…. maybe he at least caught it on the tele
I talked to him , he watched haha
I knew tha CP was just thinking with 3 LB’s already in the mix Juraez and Kelly would be 4-5 unless they move JMT to DE which I could see. But wasn’t so sure on the numbers game next season!
gotcha
JMT may move to TE/HBack.
If Kelly, Youngquist and Juarez sign with OU, I would think Levi sticks with OK State.
why? Bama wanted him. Think he worried about competition?
I just think players want to play immediately (a definite at OK State)…he would probably have to sit a couple of years before seeing the field with us.
Juraez isn’t going to happen.
Yea us making the playoff’s wasn’t supposed to either
Nothing about his situation hints at Oklahoma. He’s by passed two potential visits.
Anthony Hines , Baron Browning
Thanks I’ll look them up
Both highly ranked
I must have missed something. Did Draper decommit from the pukes?
Well no not officially! Mean not according to any sites just yet!
No he just watched our game with them.
That would be pretty convincing 🙂
He might have witnessed the reindeer-poke as well.
I think everyone saw that including Santa you can’t bet that guy ain’t gettin nothin for Christmas this year he in fact may be void for life!
lmfao
That should be the name of their (osu’s) official dance
Has to be the worst or most embarrassing fan outfit of all time. Guy will never live it down.
Guy probably has no shame, and is living it up in his 15 minutes of infamy. Might even try to sue someone when they point to that event as a reason to not hire him after he gets his degree from pokie state.
not yet.
He saw that reindeer raping and started thinking things over

Who is DJ Durkin – recent hire where? I love the kids OU is signing, but seems like heavily weighted toward defense and especially DB’s. Coaches know what they are doing and need of course, but I sure hope they still land the stud offensive/skills players (i.e. the Mixon’s, Perine’s and Shepard’s of the world – although I know they don’t grow on trees) that put points on the board and win games. Boomer!
DC at michigan hired as HC for maryland
It’s pretty exciting to think about what kind of recruiting edge we could have if you combine all the cool renovations under way with NC #8. Get all starry eyed just thinking about it 😉
A true double Boom for sure!

Everyone check out my Gofundme..
was a joke at first but might be helpful…
Man, if you’re not listening to the San Bernardino police scanner right now you’re missing out. Shoot out with some guys in a vehicle and one officer down. Crazy.
God bless
Just a feeling for 2016.
3 commits in December
3 commits in January
2 commits on signing day
If OU has more than 20 they as usual know who might be leaving.That works out to about 1 per week. Now I can sit back and relax for the next couple months.
Need 1 for this week.
I think even the 2 on signing day are silent commits already and the coaching staff is aware and just not saying anything perhaps the same with a few kids playing in All-American games coaches may know and let them have their moment to announce on TV!
I could see announcing on national TV at an athletes all-American game.
The 2 most devastating things that happened to the Sooners this past year, both turned out to be blessings in disguise.
One was the loss to Texas. Without this loss, I can’t imagine we would be in the freaking playoffs! We were floundering, not playing up to our potential. The loss flipped a switch like nothing I’ve ever seen.
The other was the loss of Monty. We saw the type of talent that he signed, although to be fair, none of them have produced anything to this point, but I expect great things in the future from many of them. But the Diron Reynolds hire has turned out to be a godsend. According to Dusty, who knows a little about DL play, this is the unit that has seen the most improvement. He can’t say enough about their improved technique and use of their hands. In fact he says their technique is night from day different. He is creating future NFL lineman with other great ones in line waiting their turn. When the NFL comes calling for his players, the recruits will follow.
And, our losses last year have too. If we’d won even one more game, not sure we’d hired new coaches.
I think Lincoln Riley goes to South Carolina sadly. He’s very smart. He adapts well and he knows the recruiting area. I know this happens all of the time but why can’t they wait until the Bowl games are completely over. If we lose because of a stagnant offense because Riley is gone I’m gonna be furious. I’d rather go 8-5 again rather than go 11-1 only to lose because our coordinator gets poached from us. This is just a distraction we don’t need.
Maybe, just maybe SC is tired of visors.
I bet they take Muschamp instead due to experience as HFC. But if he turns it down it might be tough for LR to turn down millions of dollars. We’ll see how it plays out.
Have they even offered him the job? Didn’t think so.
Still think Venables is their best fit.
I think Venables goes to Kansas State soon. Snyder doesn’t have many years left there.
I honestly believe Snyder didn’t want to poach him from Stoops when he retired the first time. Now that it wont affect Stoops directly, except for one Saturday each season, BV looks like a better candidate for KSU.
“Not so fast, my friend”. Riley may not have expected this much success, so early, and it makes sense he would be on many AD’s short lists. I’m not convinced he thinks of himself as being ready to take over an entire program in a major conference. I would wish him well if he departs, but my money is on him staying and enjoying a few more years of success as an OC under Coach Stoops.
Doesn’t he have to be offered first?
They don’t wait because they try to get someone settled in asap to work the recruiting trail
Mark Richt to Miami:

Back to his alma mater.
Anybody going to the basketball game tomorrow?
What is this basketball you speak of?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball
I’ll be watching in Virginia.
I think people are really underrating the SC job. South Carolina obviously doesn’t have an amazing winning tradition, but they rank about 20 in revenue, coach salaries, stadium size, and recruiting, which are much more relevant factors. Since there’s no way Riley will be getting a head-coaching job at a traditional powerhouse in the next couple years, the SC job is a great opportunity for him. That said, I doubt SC actually offers him.
I’m only playing it down because I don’t want it to be true
I agree with all this. SC is a great opportunity for a young coach but I think they’ll go with a SEC hire with a longer track record. Looks like Miami is going to hire Richt. There are some other P5 schools available but I haven’t heard LR mentioned as a candidate for those and I can’t think of any as good as SC off the top of my head.
If Lincoln Riley wants to be a head coach now with a chance to jump to a traditional powerhouse, he would be better served going the mid major route. The expectations are more manageable, he’ll have a better chance of immediate success and should he have said success his resume as a head coach would appeal to a bigger school.
South Carolina is in a tough spot. Even under Spurrier they were only marginal contenders outside of 2 years. The expectations are also much higher in the SEC, with much more demand for immediate gratification, so to speak.
So.. As long as he’s OK with losing pretty frequently they will pay him a lot of money and put him in a big nice stadium for those big game close losses. What a life. He’ll have it made as long as he’s not one of those wacky old school dudes who thinks that other then taking care of your players, winning is the most important thing. I saw a mention on one of their fan sites today that they need to be reasonable about the expectations and not be pushing for National championships and running off good coaches just because they don’t get them there. So you were dead on.
Don’t forget that South Carolina went 33-6 2011-2013 going 11-2 each season. Winning their bowl game each year. Had wins over Nebraska, Michigan and Wisconsin. USC is not a bad job. Spurrier and Holtz would not have taken the job unless they saw the opportunity to win and both improved the program.
All I want for Christmas is to keep our OC. Please, Santa?

I like the Sylvie has an OU jacket on!
Chanse is our biggest recruiter for the ’16 class! Love how he’s all-in. Can’t wait to see him succeed at the next level.
Dude is all in with OU has been since day he committed and has been trying to get all kinds of guy to get that #OUDNA love reading his tweets and he favorites a lot of stuff and retweets a lot of stuff back if you include him in it especially using the #OUDNA at other recruits!
Can’t wait until his other “secret” cones out.
it looks like it was made for him
He will need it in about a month when he starts classes at OU.
Bob finally commented
https://twitter.com/OklahomaUpdated/status/672079300988825601
Me likey!
I wish Riley would speak.
And say he is not going!
Yes
Trammel’s article about Riley leaving annoyed the heck outta me today. He said it’s “madness” if he doesn’t take the job. STFU dude!!! can’t stand trammel.

So Bob said “There is a bigger piece of cake?” The part about LR doesn’t appear to be part of the quote. This doesn’t sound like Bob really said anything about LR. You do realize that is not an official OU account?
I didn’t realize that when I posted it Bob, but you are right.
Agreed it doesn’t seem to really run together like it was a different conversation but could be wrong!
I’m not seeing that Bob has said anything publicly.
It looks like the guy took something Bob said and added some stuff about LR.
Bob was quoted after winning big 12 that there’s a bigger piece of cake still out there, meaning the national title.
I jumped on that tweet, it looked official, but on closer inspection the site says not affiliated with the school.
Welcome to the Internet. If you’ve been around long enough you’ll get caught by something like that. I know I have.
I thought I learned my lesson last time. The site has a lot of followers that we know, TFBers, the paid site guys, even some of the OU coaches so it must be some source of information, but that tweet was definately a hook.
Not sure if the guy intended that way, but it is pretty deceptive.
He’s usually on his game. I’d trust what they post honestly.
We all have. No shame. Just learn your lesson and be careful.
He’s right..if Riley stays a few years and our offense is humming then he could either take over the reins or land a job at a top program…the nfl could come looking as well..if he goes their and struggles he would be back to square one
That’s Unpossible! SFTU says so!
Yummmmmm, cake! Hope he sticks around for cake. He’s OUrs and nobody else can have him already.
So, I’m watching the Stoops show with Dean, and “There is a bigger piece of cake or there” is in reference to the CFP/National Championship. Direct quote. Whoever did this is a tool and looking for retweets…
Like my late pops always said. Don’t believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see.
Need to clarify talking about the Stoops comment, not about Mr. Sylvie. I believe kid is going to do great things for us.
I don’t believe you.
/s
I didn’t see nuthin’, didn’t hear nuthin’ 🙂
Stop with the canards. 🙂
Sargent Schultz!! I know nothing!!!
Like my late pops always said. Don’t believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see.
This is starting to get very interesting, this recruiting class could be very special.
This is starting to get very interesting, this recruiting class could be very special.
I still can’t get over the fact that Bob Stoops has managed to avoid the Mack Brown mediocrity curse and has Oklahoma back as a hot team. Granted, it’s still just one season, but it’s pretty exciting.
Bob is not Mack.
Thank God for that.
Ditto
Just getting home and seeing all this Lincoln Riley stuff.. What’s going on that I missed?
Absolutely nothing.
Thank you. I was confused, but good to know!
Most anything reported is just rumors at this point.
They may just be rumors, but SC’s interest in Riley is very real. They’re down to 2 candidates, Riley and Muschamp. 3 if you add their interim coach who interviewed today.
your better off
The thing that started all of this was a post on Football Scoop that S. Carolina is “interested in talking to LR” about their open HC position. Nothing concrete since then from anyone, including LR. That originated, I believe, from espn and their “sources”.
The Columbia, South Carolina newspaper The State seems to think Riley is a serious candidate. Here is link to their 12/2/2015 story on the situation.

https://youtu.be/c7oQORL23ys I put a video together really quick. highlights from the biggest games of the season
Love the video. Music is best at 0 volume.
I was going to say the same thing. lol.
thanks for checking it out. looks like I should repost after I change the music on my laptop lol. I used my friends laptop/music
Nice work on the highlights, just had to mute to keep from getting a headache. 🙂 Some good classic rock I could get into.
lol completely understand. Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you for the video. Lot of work went into that.
I just watched the video, and for the first 5 min or so, I was thinking you guys were overreacting, it’s not so bad. Then I got to the second half . . .
Nice work…the music is overkill though…you have to think about who’s viewing
i know what u mean my friend has the editing software on his computer so i used the music he had. if you could believe it this is his tamer stuff. he’s a death metal fan. Thanks for watching
Hey nothing wrong with death metal lol…I just don’t put death metal and football in the same sentence very often
Great job!
Appreciate it! Thanks for checking it out
Great video, and like others here, I just turned the volume down. LOL
great video -horrible music
Anyone in the know about where it is LR and Cale are supposed to be doing in homes?
I heard they were recruiting in the Palmetto state
Any particular player(s) that we could check their Twitter acct’s ?
Keep and eye on Perry Orth s
Ugh…Dare i say, convenient….?
Don’t you dare! 🙂
Must have missed the /s the first go-around…
I added..didnt think any one would fall for it Bear..sorry man
no prob- I was actually ignorant of which state was the palmetto state…
I had to google it myself lol

We need to start making these a 5 million dollar buyout.
We’d never get a coach to come here. They have aspirations of moving up too. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to get those offers, and sometimes it doesn’t (Leach/Riley).
I am confident we will keep Riley and get on with playoff run. Muschamp will be hired tomorrow. Just my gut.
Enjoyed watching Muschamp giving the refs hell on the sidelines during the Bama game- dude has some fight to him.
That is the biggest thing we have working in our favor. I can’t imagine Riley wants to be a distraction, or miss, the Playoff run. Would SC wait on him? That is a long time to wait.
Really hoping they hire Will Muschamp.
Same here, but it seems absurd that a struggling program would hire a guy that left a successful program struggling.
Me too. Sounds like if they offer, he might be gone. Wouldn’t blame him either, I suppose. That is a good job. On par with any job any other OU assistant has left OU (under Bob) for.
“(Riley) wants to be a head coach and South Carolina is too good of a job to pass on,” he said.
That’s Unpossible! brainpimp says so!
Yeah, lets give that quote a little more context.
“Sources in the coaching community and within the Gamecocks football program believe Muschamp is the frontrunner.
An Oklahoma source was not aware of any imminent departure by Riley, but believed the 32-year old would have high interest in the Gamecocks position.
“(Riley) wants to be a head coach and South Carolina is too good of a job to pass on,” he said.”
Perspective
What kind of context is that? If offered, SC isn’t the kind of job that Riley would likely pass up, which is what I’ve been saying all day. I never said he’d for sure be offered. But if he is, I don’t see him saying no, unless he wants to wait for the Playoffs to finish and SC doesn’t. That might be the deal breaker that saves OU.
The problem is this is some random “source” saying it, not Riley. The way you quoted the article it sounds like Riley saying it. The way the article says it is that some “source” that doesn’t seem to know anything about the situation thinks it’s too good to pass up.
I copied it straight from the article. I see what you are saying, but that isn’t how it would read if Riley were saying it. Sorry for the confusion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah… no one EVER said the media prints the gospel truth, especially this time of the year. It’s all speculation until it’s fact right?
Just passing on some of the hub-bub surrounding the situation- pointing out that it’s not a fact (yet at least) is like shooting ducks in a barrel.
Source was not aware of any imminent departure by Riley, but *believed* the 32-year old would have high interest in the Gamecocks position.
As an OU alumni, I *believe* Riley is staying. See how that works? I honestly don’t think he will leave. He will wait another year. He will have Mayfield, Perine, Mixon, and plenty of others back, and that will only build his resume for a better job than SC.
That’s stupid.
Every class has a kid that recruits hard and those kids are usually the special players. I’ve noticed Chanse is that kid this year.
Really like this guy already. He’s had serious #OUDNA since first day he committed.
For those out there shaking their heads at any and all reporting being done, or “sources” being quoted as to what LR is doing, may or may not do- if it’s any consolation, local SC papers have very little if anything on this, at all. It’s just not a hot topic to them in SC I guess like it is here.
AND, the hot ticket in those parts is currently Clemson who just happens to be #1 right now- it’d be a tough gig to recruit against that right off the bat eh?
Personally, I think LR stays put but you never know.
RBear, I hope you’re right.
I think Riley enjoys playing with the toys he is afforded here. He also knows his stock rises immensely with championships.
Yea plus he can’t get the same kids that come to OU to go to SC, mean even the ole Ball coach had a tough time, sure he had some studs but, let me see OU OC or head coach at the 7th-8th best program in the SEC, I’d stay the OC!
SC is a tough place to be. Nigh impossible to get over the Bama, GA, Florida wall.
Add Clemson
I haven’t commented on the Riley matter and will continue not to do so. 🙂
ok
Thanks for commenting. 🙂
My pleasure.
I was thinking about you saying you liked to watch Jay Leno’s Garage. I just watched the episode featuring his 63 Chrysler turbo. I actually got to drive one of them in the fall of 64′,my freshman year of college. One my friends in my dorm had a relative coming to pick him up in it. He asked if I wanted go and the relative asked if I wanted to drive it. Took me about a nano second to say yes. As it turned out it was the experience of a lifetime.
What a great memory. I’ve never even stood next to one.
This is what happens when you get good coaches and think we all knew in reality that Riley was going be a HOT name and he is, I do hope he stays and that it all works in OUr favor, but, if not good for him, Riley does deserve some credit, but, the QB was better than last years, Shepard stayed healthy, the D played so much better, it’s not just one guy that made it happen and if he leaves Stoops will look for another guy to come in. I respect LR as much as any body but next guy up is what I say, and if he thinks he can go win at SC if it is offered than let him try, name any coach under Stoops that’s went on to have the same success as a HC that Stoops has and you can’t there is a track record that you are better off being apart of winning tradition than trying to start one!
When you are a top program, you hire coaches that you hope are good enough to be desirable to others. It’s the same as recruiting players that are good enough to go pro early. You just win and reload.
Maybe there should be a rule that good coaches can’t leave for three years..the ones that suck can move on though hahaha
Part of the buyout should include a fan vote. 🙂
Just as long as fans can’t fire lol
SC is a good, potentially mid-upper level SEC job. I don’t think he could reasonably expect a better job as a first-time head coach. Yes, he could hang around a few years and hope to get an Oklahoma, like BS did, but he could prove himself at SC and still get the “Oklahoma” offer in a few years.
I more surprised that the SC team is looking his way. Nothing against Riley, but he’s been in a top tier program for exactly 12 games and his side of the ball has produced at a championship level for 7 of those games. Is he really ready for this level of head coaching position? I’d be surprised that SC is considering him this seriously.
I agree as a 1st job it is nice but, I also agree 100% with why would SC want him unless it really is a whole SEC vs. Bob Stoops deal lol! But, yea I think he needs more time to prove himself at the Elite level if OU has a run of this sort the next year and O plays lights out 13 of 13 games maybe then or 2 years of this team hasn’t lost a beat I can see that then also, but like you said not after 11 games and in that 7 of them have been really good 4 where lack luster especially the Texas game!
I think they are serious because the SEC is slowly adapting Big 12 offensive play. LSU will make offensive changes in this direction, Bama has tried to get a passing attack as well. Ole Miss already close…But LR would do well to stay with Baker coming back. Head coach in waiting and a raise? But Cale Gundy has been the backbone for years…What do you do?
I just can’t see HC in waiting with such a small resume. I think he’s great, but as an OU fan I’d be a little uncomfortable with him moving up that quickly.
True. While Kevin Wilson has earned a bit of respect at Indiana, he will not reach the pinnacle there. Someone ought to make a list of all of Bob’s assistants and where they went and the success or lack there of, after taking another job.
Leach@ TT had some success
Mangino@ KU did lead them to an Orange Bowl win which is amazing
Kevin Sumlan@ Houston did good enough to get him the A&M job
Wilson@ Indiana like you said doing ok
Pelini@ Can’t remember where he went so obviously wasn’t an impact
Mike@ Arizona he had some good years but wasn’t enough
May be missing a few but that’s what I can remember
That’s quick work! jerry Montgomery, Bo Pelini…Nebraska. Big 12 title game birth. Chuck Long SD ST not good. Bret V well…, Of course not counting those who did not leave out of their own choosing.
I think I was just thinking HC wise but yea and looks like JH did ok with Utah St this year in reality. And I like Long wish he was doing better!
wasn’t Pelini here a “one and done” kinda thing then on to LSU?
In other news heard the Browns want Stoops as their new HC 😉
Lmao!
Wait a minute your last name is Brown… Stop trying to steal our coaches!
I am all in with OU tho! If I was a Brown as far as in the Browns I would sale my share and get lifetime tickets to OU lol!
Still don’t know if we can trust you. Brien with and E? what are you wearing khaki’s?
Some sweats actually and yea I think my parents where really into the 70’s well the end of the 70’s as I was born n 80 and think they may have been high when they agreed to name me that never been sure how they got that spelling and have been equally afraid to ask! Kidding not kidding!
Mine was a bad attempt humor regarding the Statefarm commercial
LOL i got the pun, I almost said nothing to throw you off as in what I was wearing lol! But seriously on the E idk lol

Just read that the first woman’s name was apparently a “hoax.” hmm

My deal with Riley is this… When you’re this young and you accept a head coaching job the pressure is on you from the get go. If he has 1-2 disappointing seasons he’s gone and may not get a head coaching job again. I think he stays with OU at least 3 more years and the takes a stab as the boss.
If LR wants to take a HC job, then he should do it at a Group of 5 team. It’d be way better for him to get his feet wet in a lesser conference with lesser expectations, than to go straight to a conference like the SEC. There is just so much to learn about being a HC that is different from being a coordinator. He moved up from ECU to OU as a coordinator. He learned how to do all the “other-than-coaching” things at ECU so he hit the ground running at OU. LR should do the same thing as a head coach. Start in the minor league before moving up to the majors.
This. I have no doubt that LR will be a fantastic HC someday, but here’s the reality of the situation: Neither Lou Holtz nor Steve Spurrier, two of the best coaches ever to coach, could get it done at USCe. I’m just a little worried about what his career would look like afterwards if it all went down like it did for them.
In my opinion, Riley just needs 3 to 4 more years at OU before he takes a head coach job. I think he already has all the tools to be successful. What he doesn’t have is a proven track record of great success at winning championships and coaching at the championship level. He is at a place where he can build that kind of resume.
He just need to follow the example his boss followed to get the OU job. Bob toiled under Snyder and then got the DC job with Spurrier at Florida. That is what earned him the exposure that Joe C latched onto and pursued him and brought him to Norman.
Really like the Sylvie kid. Look forward to seeing him game.
Me too. The kid looks happy all of the time. I like that.
He has a great smile

Seen where Muschamp has cancelled his recruit visits and has reached out to Clemsons OC to take with him to South Carolina . Some believe he will be named today as HC . Fingers crossed
I think it’s actually a good hire for them , their defense is horrible and Muschamp has said if given another gig , he will run a spread offense .
My fingers are crossed as well.
I hope L.R stays.To be honest i want him to be the next Sooner h.c
Good news… just hope they don’t get stuck in contract talks. Hopefully, he is a Sexton client and he has already signed the pre-approved deal. 🙂
Sooners in for a really nice run the next few years. Would imagine LR wants to stick around awhile and be a part of winning championships.
Don’t forget, he has first hand knowledge of what we haven’t even seen yet- we have a ton of talent that’s yet to see the field via redshirt, injury etc. The pantry is stocked.
Is anyone going to comment on the Levi Draper news? I noticed he has no mention of Okie State on his profile anymore…He might be decommitting/flipping soon 🙂
Just wait on it.
I see what you did there…
And I like it!
