Joshua Dobbs 2.0

Such a bad take on so many levels.

Rattler was the #1 QB in the 2019 class (5 Star)
Dobbs was the #14 rated player in Georgia in the 2013 class (4 Star)

Rattler had offers from Bama, Notre Dame, Texas, etc) and chose OU over Bama

Dobbs had 3 SEC offers (UT, Arky, MSU) and chose UT over Arizona State

Rattler came to an OU team that finished 12-2 the year before, and in 3 seasons threw for 4,500 yards for what was already the best program in the conference, and kept OU where they were...a 2 loss regular season team but dropped them to 2nd or 3rd in their conference

Dobbs came to a UT team that finished 5-7 the year before and just fired their coach. He played for the horrible Butch Jones and still managed to throw for 7,100 yards, and led UT to back to back 9-4 seasons...despite Jones. When Dobbs finished at UT, they finished 2nd in the East in back-to-back seasons.

So, the bar was much higher with Rattler with regards to expectations...but OU is worse with him at the helm, while UT improved with Dobbs.
