He claims USC offered Matt Campbell their head coaching position before offering the same to FULR but he talked him out of taking it, leaving us to wonder how Oklahoma's 2022 season with Caleb Williams at QB and Riley to call the offense would have turned out and would Venables still be at Clemson or somewhere else and who knows which players would have portaled to OU?

It ended up working out better. LiaR was getting worse every year he coached. He would have kept Grinch on D so we never would have broken through. Its been painful rebuilding things but its been a ground up rebuild to erase the stench. We have a top D now and we should finally have a functional offense. This could be a magical season.

All of the above - and kettlebells instead of S&C, no-tackling-practices, burned brisket, "we're this close", etc. Plus TBOW shows he is not likely to figure out the NIL part of the game.

Now, we cover all those bases with solid leadership. A TY to Brock!

LR signed like 4 total O-Linemen his last two years here. It would have been not much better than Brent's first year.
