Well he's never been a head coach, genius. That's "relevant here" too....


You think pointing out one guy was handed the reins of a top 5 team after approximately 7 years as an OC, with only 3 in Power 5 conference and one was a career assistant for 25 years helps your position?

quote:

Kiffin is the best offensive mind in the game. Riley's offense has never done shite against a top 5 team. Venables was widely considered the top DC in the nation at Clemson for many years.


Some people will argue Kiffin is better. Not the majority, but some. Venables was great at Clemson, but Saban is by default the better defensive coach, just with a nicer title than DC. Same with Gary Patterson. Same with Kirby. Brent is behind those guys and Gary isn’t even really in the game.

quote:

Bob's wasn't much better when he arrived in '99 and he had never been a HC either.


Comparing the shite team that Brent put on the field in any way to what Bob did in his first year is one of the least informed statements I’ve seen about OU football.

Hahahaha.....like I said, Venables was WIDELY considered the top defensive mind in college football for many years at Clemson. Brent isn't behind Saban or Kirby Smart in terms of a defensive mind at all.

Gary Patterson hasn't had a top defense in at least 7 years.

I was there in 99, fella. Bob had one more season victory than Brent did his first year. Our defense wasn't shite and our offense was just decent.
