WOW…ok
Seemingly offering some confirmation.
https://twitter.com/DeeChilllin/status/697547305252093952
Stanford? Looks like your hunch was right.
Oh, %*&$#. I think he was good!
Monty still in GB?
yep, but that’s not an option so I’d just go ahead and move on from that one if I were you 🙂
Haha more or less in a fog of confusion and frustration. Seems like somewhere I heard he wasn’t doing too well there but yeah wasn’t hoping too much.
Monty, gtfo of the cold and back to the warm beaches of Norman.
Indeed. I heard Dirty Bird was wonderful this time of year!
Just like Lake Draper. Just clear yourself out a spot amongst the dead bodies and used rubbers and commence camping out! LOL
Ain’t that the truth!
Great, another year of “building relationships” with recruits.
Do we try to bring CJ back or does Bob do another secret national search? Nobody knew who Diron was before Bob hired him…
I think if Bob wanted to bring CJ back, CJ probably wouldn’t have accepted the other job to in the first place.
The Stanford job wasn’t open when CJ left..
Not publicly. But i highly doubt that the guy just turned in his resignation yesterday at the end of the day, and Shaw said, “Maybe I should if see if Reynolds is interested.” They’ve probably been having discussions for at leadt a week, and likely more.
Crikey. Seemingly a great coach..didn’t close with recruiting but not given a lot of time to integrate. We need a home run..recruiter and position coach.
D.J. Durkin available?
Yes, he is going to give up being the HC at Maryland to come be the DL coach at OU. smh
Oh, okay.
Hopefully Kittle is too busy as a Law Professor somewhere.
The rumor was that he was supposed to be a OL coach so we should be good.
DAMMIT
Well I’m not sure he was an OL coach that was just the rumor.
Maybe Mike knows someone at Arizona.
No, Bob will find someone in Iowa before then.
Well, crap.
Need a relentless RECRUITER to fill that spot. Not being able to sign one NT was a major concern from a recruiting angle, knowing you’d hope to be able to find one.
Mike made it clear all he needed was one DE and one NT in this class.
Diron appeared to be a good coach on the field, but recruiting is just as important in college football.
Good luck to him and his family.
It was not a major concern. We only went after a handful.
Lol, all you have done is pump the signing class over and over and over and over and over again. Now you want to spin losing Diron as no big deal cause he missed ONE recruit?
Man TFB killing it! I’d say their sources are pretty good if you haven’t figured it out by now. Hadn’t heard a peep from anybody else, but this is also my only subscription.
Bob will find somebody good I bet. He knows how important hiring good coaches is, and I have a feeling he saw this one coming. Almost like it was planned. We’ll get somebody solid.
I think John Blake’s show cause is expired. After all he’s an Oklahoma guy.
Lol he is a hell of a dl coach and recruiter!
kelvin Sampson loves this idea
I’m not so sure John Blake has forgiven OU for letting him go. I know he holds no love for UNC after they pushed him out.
Can we just wait until after the RRR and sign up Charlie Strong? He should be more than available by that time.
This hurts.
Oh SNAP!! I liked Diron. Hurts a lot IMO.
Could Reynolds have been disengaged during this year’s recruiting process knowing he was leaving, which could be directly proportionate to our lack of DL commits? Or am I reaching?
You’re reaching.
I doubt it. He only had to sign one, regardless. That’s the ship allotment Mike Stoops said they had for a NT.
He was able to recruit Amani Bledsoe at DE, who is a MAJOR sign.
Got one, missed one.
Reaching. We didn’t even go after many DL kids. Wasn’t a need.
Reaching
Pure speculation, at best. At worst, . . . ?
Alright already, it was just a thought…
To do so would show a lack of professionalism in doing his job and that is not good for his future. An assistant wanting to advance his future is going to make every effort every day to do his job at the best level possible. And that applies to recruiting prospects.
Agree, it was just a question, and I wasn’t implying it’s actually what happened. Worth asking to gather feedback from other crainiacs.
My question is, is he leaving because he wants to?
yes
You know this how?
b/c I do
I’ll take your word for it.
Sorta like your mom telling you,”because I said so!”
Actually, JE, a better response is: “Because, I am” ….
Because he’s Jordan.
You really think OU asked him to leave? Did you see how the DL played this year?
Given the way this has played out, I almost wonder if Bob didn’t know from day 1 this would happen.
I also seen him miss out on a big time recruit. JE says he’s leaving on his on so that answers my question.
If we fired a coach every time they missed out on a “big time” recruit, we’d be firing coaches constantly. And to miss out how he did, when the father of the recruit knows Strong like he did, well, that doesn’t prove he is a bad recruiter.
Not sure why OU fans want to hang somebody over the lack of DT’s, after last year’s class. We went after a handful of really good ones, and it didn’t work out. We’ll circle up and get some good ones next year.
Not wanting to hang the guy, but he did miss out on the only DT he was recruiting. As far as Strong’s friendship with Mr Daniels, what kind of friend waits til the end to recruit your son when he is talented enough to go anywhere he chooses? A good friend would have offered early.
Maybe he knew it was a possibility, but I doubt Bob would have hired the guy knowing he will definitely be leaving after a year…unless Bob knew of someone who will be free this year, and just had to fill the spot until then.
Given the way it was reported last year when Reynolds was hired, I’d say Bob showed interest in an up and comer, and Shaw saw a potentially great coach that was still a little raw. Reynolds got to be the guy at a big time program, instead of a QC coach waiting in the wings. Shaw saw the results of his raw guy after a year of seasoning, and said, I like what he’s doing. I’m sure that Bob knew at some point before it was public that Stanford was losing their DL coach, and that Shaw was showing interest in Reynolds.
It was posted earlier that his family stayed in California, while he had a one year contract with OU. I think this is a win win scenario. Best wishes to him.

It’s this kind of thing that upsets me when coaches recruit a kid, get his name on the line, then leave.
Yep, compare the freedom coaches have to go where they want with what happened to Baker. Makes you wonder who the NCAA is looking out for.
Exactly. I think players should be released from their commitment when this happens. They are in round ball, right?
I believe it’s the same for football, but only for a head coaching change (and it may be that way in hoops too). That’s why it’s so important for kids to commit to a program and not just a coach. Easier said than done though.
That alone really shows how jacked up recruiting is in general. Ninety nine percent of the kids go on about how they felt good about their choice because of the relationship they built with the coaches. And the coaches have to offer more than a degree to get the kids to commit. Talk about mixed messages!
Absolutely. Head coaches are running football programs for the football programs success. To restrict assistant coaches from recruiting athletes because the assistant might take a better job after NSD or releasing recruits it the assistant relocates is only enabling recruits to have no accountability. This society has pampered their youth far too much for far to long. They all need to learn to grow up.
If you can make a commitment to die for your country at 18 you can learn to keep your word at a similar age.
The NCAA rules (by and large) remain antiquated, and there doesn’t appear to be a major change to that any time soon. The NCAA can barely function as is, yet the member schools do nothing to correct the issue. It’s sad.
Calvin Thibodeaux? Sean Spencer (Penn State)?
Give us some names of BIGTIME recruiters at the position.
Diron Reynolds lacked that quality from listening to his interviews. He’s from the South Carolina area and a nice down to earth guy, but OU could use a DL with more spur in his saddle in this part of the country.
This is a win win opportunity!
I don’t think he lacked that at all. We got Bledsoe, we lost out on Daniels. And by all accounts, Coach Reynolds did a pretty good job in the Daniels household. He got Daniels to commit initially. Daniels’ dad was talking about what a great man Reynolds is, even after the fact. That’s not inability. Sometimes, the breaks don’t always go your way, no matter how hard you work, or how well you perform.
Not worried about Daniels. There are at least 15 to 20 NTs in the country, so OU could have signed at least one. I’m sure Diron Reynolds is a great man.
Wish him well at Stanford.
My point is that Daniels was the guy OU targeted. We had him 98% wrapped up until the end. That’s not inability on Reynolds’ part.
You can change the name to anybody you want. OU’s main target chose at the last minute to go elsewhere. No matter how hard Reynolds worked, or how well he performed, he barely missed out on 1 recruit. And it’s likely that OU didn’t want to just pick up any Joe Schmo to play NT. With the talent they have, it may have been a staff decision to just say, the top 4 or 5 guys are signed elsewhere, lets roll the scholarship to another position and focus on next class.
While he may not have been well spoken in the interviews, pertaining to recruiting, a photo finish with a top talent deciding between two well-known schools (OUrs being one of them) is not a lack of ability.
might want to look at Ricky Hunley
Well this sucks.

Good to see this:
https://twitter.com/guerinemig/status/697556679588642816
He did connect the dots quickly on the Stanford vacancy and the possibility of Diron Reynolds moving on with his family still in California.
Now, let’s hire a relentless recruiter.
A little professionalism goes a long way. Good stuff.
https://wardenjordan.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/2001.gif?w=306&h=338
Lets give Bumpus a call to see if he is enjoying retirement.
Time to promote Viney.
I’m not sure Viney is DL type of guy!
Agreed. Still have to hire somebody that knows how to coach Dline.
Yeah but everyone insisted we need to make him an assistant.
He already is an assistant now.
No he’s a QC coach. Can’t coach on field.
In games or practice, is my understanding. Big loss losing him on the field for practice.
I agree…from is Cali connections standpoint. He seems to be a young, enthusiastic recruiter type. But, I’m pretty sure we’d benefit more from hiring a true DL guru. I do wish there was some way we could make Viney an actual coach, without losing the good one we have, in his skill area.
No
I knew you were just funnin’.
Chip Viney here comes another promotion
No.
Good call…hire a position coach for a power 5 job that has absolutely ZERO experience coaching the position. Jeez.
Ilaisa Tuiaki, Utah
Maybe then we get Maxs Tupai as well.
Two birds. One stone.
Great D-line coach. Recruiting responsibilities include Dallas, California and Hawaii.
BYU now
He didn’t even give us a chance to grossly overpay him to stay. Geez, some people’s children.
Now that’s funny.
Good one.
Tray Scott is a name I would go after. From the region too.
There was a time that leaving OU to go to Stanford was a step down. Not anymore. Plus his family is there. Kind of a no brainer for Diron.
You don’t uproot families with one year contracts.
Good point.
Wish we could have got orgeron last year.
He’s a stout DL coach, no doubt. Relentless recruiter.
Ya would have been a home run.
Ole Ed won’t stay long at that position if he has any chance to promote.
i agree, hes easily DC caliber, if not HC.
When was his one year contract up? This almost sounds set up to me, like he wanted the experience and knew the Stanford Dline coach was probably only there for a year or two, and maybe OU was okay with getting him for just a year, for whatever reason.
Maybe one year was enough. OU didn’t throw money at him it appears or offer the co-DC role like they did with Monty. Stanford doesn’t throw money at anybody.
Dammit.
I wish Coach Reynolds nothing but the best. He did a great job coaching, recruiting and representing as far as I know and am concerned. Family first I always say, then of course, I yell BOOMER!
SOONER!!
Ilaisa Tuiaki, BYU
Ben Albert, Boston College
Sean Spencer, PSU
John Blake! ! s/
Copy cat.
Sorry ! Hahaha
I definitely like Ben Albert and I’m sure we could get him.
apparently he’s already moved on to Duke as an Associate DC and DL coach, not sure he’d bail on them this soon
What’s the possibility that Montgomery returns? His leaving was strange because he is in a QC position with Packers I think. Maybe he went there to learn more about the 3-4 under a great Dom Capers who really knows that defense.
I think he really wants to break into the NFL as an assistant, but you never know. He could have a change of heart after being there for a year.
Whatever happened to the reports he was going to USC? Did any of that ever pan out?
Not sure, I don’t remember seeing that.
It seems like we had a discussion about it here. Once the new DC at USC was named, it seems like Monty’s name was thrown in as a candidate for the DL job. Maybe I was drunk and didn’t realize it.
Haha no Im sure I missed it somewhere.
I remember them too, but apparently he’s still with the Packers, from what I can tell.
Just as long as I’m not going crazy! I would swear we all chatted about it when it was news.
You are correct. It was discussed here for the better part of a day.
Monty is still with GB as a defensive front assistant.
http://www.packers.com/team/coaches.html
100% not going to happen .
Many thanks to Coach Reynolds for all his hard work during his short tenure here. Nothing but the best of wishes in your future endeavors.
BOOMER SOONER
Well, that’s a bummer. Good luck to Coach Reynolds back at Stanford and thanks for your great work with the DL while you were at OU. Sorry to see him go, but a guy has to follow his heart.
Wade Phillips come on down, your the next DLC for OU
Nick Saban
Ha! Ha! LMAO.
You can be liberal with your soul but leave mine alone.
Oh, I thought we were naming coaches that won’t leave their current jobs. My bad.
He’s got a helluva a gig.
Give him the whole dang defense! Lol
What will MS do?
Total bs no loyalty these days…nfm
It’s all good. This could be the greatest thing to happen to OU. Let’s see where it takes us. Some times we desperately hold on to what God is trying to get us to turn loose. Make room for His blessings and cheer for Coach Reynolds, as he has been blessed.
Loyalty to the family living in California? That’s all that matters.
Go take your pills.
Come on back Brent V! This of course is in jest.
No but maybe we could steal his DL coach. They seemed pretty salty.
you’re on to something
Bob, bob, bob strikes again. But it will involve a raise.
Why not offer Ed Orgeron the highest salary in NCAA?
Did C.J. Ah You work with both Monty and Reynolds on the DL? (I know he was QC for ST.)
Never watched an interview with C.J., so hard to tell if he is the big personality recruiter needed in that role.
Perhaps someone can add something to that.
Not sure he’d leave Vandy after a month or so.
Would like to see someone with strong ties in Texsa, Miss, LA next.
Yup.
Heck yeah, if we want to recruit south of the Red River we need to bring in an asst coach with strong Fexas high school connections. Has never made sense to me that our staff had few connections with the Fexas high school coaches.
I would be very surprised if this hire isn’t well known and respected within the Texas HS coaching circles. I know we’ve done well with the national approach, but I would have to believe if Bob had his choice, we’d be making inroads back into Texas.
Has SD posted anything about how we won’t be able to get a good Dline coach in the BIG 12-2 because they are all holding out for SEC offers?
Damn it, SGE, you just said Beetle Juice. He’s coming for sure, now.
Maybe after happy hour.
Maybe after his mother take him a can of Mountain Dew.
That’d make me happy! My mom bringing me a Mt. Dew, that is.
He’s looking for a roommate to share the rent with, you know. Half of nothing is a pretty good deal.I don’t know how you feel about threesomes: there would be three of you: him, you, and his negativity. I hear is negativity is a beast and hard to get along with.
While that seems like a really decent offer, I rather enjoy the bachelor life I’ve made for myself. It’s tempting, to be sure, but I think in the long run I’ll prefer to have my lazy days on the couch without pants instead.
Are you sure? He’s got some magazines, if you know what I mean.
I mean, I don’t know much about his situation, but I do subscribe to the Premier Tier for my High Speed Internet. In most cases, that beats magazines, hands down.
As a serious side note, I’m rather tickled that I was able to work “hands down” into this particular innuendo. I amaze myself sometimes.
Yeah, you’re a talented lad. I mean, to each his own, though. You either spend time clicking a mouse or sitting on the couch posing like Al Bundy.
Actually, both! I have a computer hooked up to my big screen TV in the living room.
C’mon, man! You make a clever “hands down” comment and miss the Al Bundy reference.
No, I got it. I got it. I do pose like Al Bundy and I click the mouse.
Sweet!
I’ll be back shortly. I have to pick up my daughter from swim practice.
Yeah…I need to leave work and head to my bachelor palace. I’ll check in after I get settled in on the couch!
You have to say it 3 times before it comes reality. Please no one else say it again.
c’mon just say it…just say it…lol
Did that boggart come out?
I only said it once!
Friend!!!!!!
Congrats on the honor roll! Very cool.
Ridiculous hard road to get there. Thanks!
No, I haven’t said anything…..
What ever happened to E.Z. Millions? Is he still in Norman?
The Boz!
Tony Casillas, for technical reasons.
Sure hope not.
Yeah, to get him off of the radio.
Bring back Coach Monty
Monty made his decision to leave OU. Not a good practice to incent someone to take those actions without consequence. Hiring Monty back would most definitely tell there are no consequences. Bad move!!!
Are you effing kidding me??????
Dammit, I go out for dinner and you all get rid of the wrong coach. SMH. 🙂
Give coach O a blank check
On whose bank account? Are you volunteering to cover the check?
Thanks Nash. 🙂
Need some help here, how difficult is it to get a (quality) replacement in the time frame we’re in? Clueless about timing on coaching changes. Is there a good time or bad time for coaches to leave?
Right after signing day is better than right before. IMO.
Should get a new coach in before spring ball starts up too.
Hands down best time to lose one.
Craig Kuligowski
R u Sh!##ng me! Well I guess family first…dang…
I wonder if Chris Daniels knew this?
I was wondering if Tupai knew/knows and is waiting to see who the replacement is
Totally could be. Haven’t heard anything since his UCLA visit
Good luck to Coach Reynolds. The last 2 coaches have been great, I think Stoops knows what he’s doing
Dusty Dvoracek anyone? /s
No coaching experience. Better off being Tommie Harris in
Hell yeah!
The last thing we need is an assistant with OU connections. It serves to create inbreeding and minimizes the addition of new ideas and approaches. A candidate with OU connections should only get an assistant job if he is the best candidate. He connections to the school should not work to his advantage.
Everyone was losing their minds when Jerry left, and then again calling Bob names when Diron was hired. Now, the cycle repeats with Diron leaving.
Once again, without a doubt, Bob will bring in the best possible coach to replace him. Well, he has hit the mark now on 90% of his hires, something like that?
I wonder if Stanford needs a ST / RB coach as well.
predicting carnage?
One can only hope.
must have been handled internally…
Probably
this guy however, could handle both:
http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/sean_spencer_882977.html
Nice resume. Im sold.
he is psychic too!
Alright, RBear, fess up. What else is happening?
That would be addition by subtraction (for OU).
that’s a kick in the ass…….we have several young d players recruited by monty, he leaves……they get 1 yr of adjustment to reynolds and bye bye, plus the de’s he recruited for this yr…….big hire for stoopsie at hand
Doesn’t this become the fourth DL coach for our RS Sr’s?
3, if not mistaken……shipp left in ’13, then mont, now reynolds
We thought we’ed never replace J. Montgomery I guess we’ll just have to do it again ..
next man up 🙂
Why not go back after Montgomery? Seriously, make him co-defensive coordinator and offer him a BIG bag of money. The guy wasn’t only a great coach, he was a recruiting powerhouse. Besides, Oklahoma is warmer than Green Bay.
What did he actually do for GB anyway?
Being an associate DC with a raise only keep him at OU for a couple of weeks before his move to Green Bay. Very bad move to condone this action by trying to hire him back.
All I know is I’m available. I’ve coached some really great dlines on ncaaf and Madden. Not to mention I’m a great armchair coach ( ask my wife). I’ll sign a measely 5 year 3 million dollar contract.
Based on these, I’m going with Ben Albert, Boston College-
Rushing Defense: http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/24
Passing YDS Allowed: http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/695
Scoring Defense: http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/28
Associate DC at Duke now. OU should give him a look. He’s a 3-4 guy.
Who did they play is important too.
ACC.
FSU, Clemson, Notre Dame were the best teams
And what were there averages versus those teams vis a via the also rans?
I chatted with a lot of Clemson fans (not recommended) and they were real high on BC defense.
FSU http://bceagles.com/boxscore.aspx?path=football&id=3642
ND http://bceagles.com/boxscore.aspx?path=football&id=3650
Clemson http://bceagles.com/boxscore.aspx?path=football&id=3646
S&P+ adjusted stats:
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa
BC’s defense was the real deal this year. Their front four were beasts. Just look at the FSU game. IF BC did not lose their starting QB to a broken ankle early in that game, they win that game. Their D was stout.
What about CJ Ah You???
He’s someone to look at for sure.
At least we’ll have something to talk about and speculate on now.
Viney???? Joking kind of.
Re some of the suggestions…Ben Albert recently left BC for DC job at Duke, so doubtful he’d want to come back to DL. CJ good candidate probably but a bit unknown. Would be a loyal to OU I would think. Viney? Get real. No DL experience whatsoever.
Dan McCarney? I’m guessing Stoops would prefer a young recruiter.
Dan is a high energy guy for his age. Saban hires mature coaches. Is he a 3-4 guy?
Has Calvin Thibideaux been mentioned as a serious candidate?
Nobody is yet
Here are the T-times for the Pebble Beach ProAm tomorrow- see any names on there that Stoops might “network” with concerning the new opening he has on the staff?
http://www.attpbgolf.com/content/uploads/2015/10/2016_ATT_Pebble_Beach_Pro-Am_Pairings.pdf
Is Mike Stoops the DC? Can Mike handle the diligence on a simple DL coaching hire over the next five days? Bob will be back on Monday, but Mike Stoops has HC experience and has hired coaches before.
Money is your issue, but it’s too soon to even bring into the conversation.
WHA?
Better just take a 5 wood off the tee at 1 Bob. Dont get greedy.
if Bob plays well then he’s spending too much time on the golf course 🙂
Rhein Gibson is the dude that shot a 55 at River Oaks! He lives in Edmond although he is Australian originally. Man, even the lower ranked players on the PGA tour are amazing golfers.
Bobby does have a decent handicap.
Statements from both Reynolds & Bob Stoops added
Sucks to see him go, way more than it was to see JM go. My dream hire would be Pepper Johnson it will never happen but he is the one.
Seriously? Monty was way better than Reynolds. I like what Reynolds did, but he did it with talent already provided to him. Motivated them to play but still…
Not saying I’m not sad to see Reynolds go, but I’d much rather have not lost Monty in the first place.
Monty easily the better recruiter, but diron the better coach.
Dirons line played better with a 270 pound DT in dimon, than JM’s did with a 330 pound 2nd round NFL DT in phillips.
Most of that high level talent provided by monty didnt even make an impact this year.
Gallimore redshirted. Lampkin redshirted. Campbell redshirted. Mann redshirted. Roberts didnt play much, or redshirted(not sure which) Overton played some snaps, but not a ton.
i thought when monty was here our DL was stout against the run, it was the pass that killed us, based on Mike Stoops back 7 playing so soft.
We gave up more YPC in 2015, but we also faced over 100 more carries. 2015 we had more 8 sacks than 2014 and 10 more TFL.
I dont believe Monty recruited any one that played a meaningful minute on the DL this year ? Just like the way Reynolds seemed to go about coaching.
What about Oscar Giles as a replacement? He is the D-Line coach at Houston. He can certainly recruit Texas.
I think it would be great to have somebody that can really work Texas.
We need to put a TX HS coach on staff in some capacity as well. I don’t see why we can’t do this. Strong did it this year and brought great recruiting success hiring Jeff Traylor….gave him TE/Special Teams coordinator title.
Do you think this is why Daniels ultimately signed with Texsa? Maybe Reynolds had an idea of his departure and let it be known he wouldn’t be there if Daniels signed with OU?
would certainly give his Dad the reason to say what he said about him (Reynolds)
Exactly! Such a strange tweet, also I don’t want to give Strong that much credit for swooping in at the 11th hour and being able to flip Daniels that easily by offering the “holy grail” Texsa scholly.
Seriously, Charlie Strong will be looking for work soon. Just have Viney take Diron’s spot until October.
Hmmm…whatever.
John Blake?
uh, NO.
If we would like to keep building Eastward
Elijah Robinson DL Temple Owls
http://owlsports.com/coaches.aspx?rc=1587&path=football
I think they ran 4 man fronts but it isn’t like they are asking somebody to be DC.
Monty was a monster recruiter and Reynolds was a technician.
Who out there is a good combo of both? It’s not too much to ask that we look for someone that can do both.
Hire 2 guys. A great recruiter and a technician. I’ve seen teams with 2 DL coaches.
Back the Brinks truck up to Tosh Lupoi’s house, please.
Got to hand it to TFB. Speculated about this. Well. Let’s offer Monty again!
Where’s Bud Foster?
Ask Wade Phillips for names.
Wade learned D from a darn good teacher and even though he is a terrible HC, I’ve always thought his defenses were good. I’d take suggestions from him!
Time to move on. Let us hope the next person up can recruit like Montgomery, coach like Reynolds, and please, let’s get someone who is young, vibrant, and WANTS TO BE AT OU.
C.J. Ah You just went to Vandy last month. We need to snake him back before he settles in.
This Blows! I really liked this guy, and I believed his recruiting was going to really take off this year, his second.
Good luck to you Coach Reynolds’s.
Bob will just get someone else…….
And on the flip side, at least this gives us something to talk about until Spring Practices start
Ok…just got here. Haven’t posted on the issue yet and admittedly have yet to read any other comments. First, what the what? Didn’t see that coming. Second, best wishes to Coach Reynolds in future endeavors. Third, who is out there and who do we want? Almost speechless…almost.
New guy here. TFB is a game changer! This all day training is flying by! Great, great, work. BOOM SOON!
