Something strange I noticed. Jeff Lebby has not sent one snippet of thanks to OU Admin, Brent Venables or the players. Its like he left and never had any ties to OU.
The way you guys slapped him around and muzzled him up over him inviting his father-in-law to the sidelines may have something to do with that. He was a bit defiant in explaining Briles' presence and that was immediately followed by both Castiglione and Venables saying it was a bad thing.
The OKC media has hit him pretty good as well. They just penned this editorial saying the MSU hire bailed the Sooner program out of mistake hire.

By hiring Lebby, an OU alum, the Bulldogs rid the Sooners of a hire Brent Venables should never have made. That OU’s administration should’ve never OK’d. There’s a lesson to be learned. Stay away from the Art Briles coaching tree. Stay away from the Art Briles family tree. Go find another tree, preferably one that’s not rotting.

Regardless, BV gave him a chance with a big program. AD had to sign off on it. He owes them a thanks because he broke the terms of their agreement having him on the field. Not a good look to leave like a jilted girlfriend after all they did for him. It was his actions that forced a reaction. Admin did not want local press to have anything to tie to past but he served it up on a platter.
I’m just surprised he can’t do the honorable thimg and take the high road and put it to bed. A simple thanks would have done wonders. Imagine how its can be used in future recruiting when both schools go after same recrit and OU can point to his character in how he handles things which he might do to them.
Just saying, a simple thanks would have gone a long way. He will face pressure at some point at MS too, and how will he handle it? Riley banned a reporter and boy did that backfire on him. Best to not burn bridges if you don’t have to.
