He really emphasized "we haven't COACHED very well" you know he had been thinking this guy has no idea what he's doing

No and from all accounts they didn’t like him. Because he held some players accountable and not Mateer. And practices were a mess too

still marveling at the turn-around, holy mackerel.
As others have commented, Jason seems to have that "command presence", that intangible that leaders have. And it appears his football IQ is the equivalent of Einstein-level.
With the games coming up, we'll get enough sample size to determine if this is a one-hit wonder, or a the equivalent of the Rolling Stones filling up concert halls for decades.

I'm excited about him too and hope he is our answer but hope they give him a few games before anointing him OC. He did make a big difference last night.

I have to think, if Witten gets the nod and has an offseason to install his offense, it would feature more pro-set & I-formation.

To me, if Whitten can finish out strong and does become our OC, he might be a great candidate to replace Brent when he hangs it up. If say we had a great year next season, how many more years does Brent want to coach.

On flip side if Jason does great next year he will be hard to keep too many years. And if Brent wants to stay we could lose him. It all depends on what Jason wants to do and how long he would want to stay as OC. With his son coming here that should give us a few years.

My point is Jason seems like great HC material so this bears watching over the next few years. We may have our next HC in waiting on staff.

I’m way ahead of my myself he has a lot to learn and could flame out once teams adjust to him. But its encouraging with small sample size

Edit: Too many fricking typos jeez I need to type on phone better. They put some key letters too close on keypad excuse. Sorry

Sooner Analytics
@boomsoon91

The stat that explains OU 23, Florida 7:

One OU drive took 12:45.
Florida had the ball for 9:28 in the entire second half.

20 plays, 89 yards, a Mateer TD pass to Isaiah Sategna III. Florida's five second-half drives: 3 punts, an INT, a turnover on downs.



Florida's 2nd-half drives: 1:18, 4:17, 1:57, 0:36, 1:20 = 9:28. OU held the ball 37:50 overall.

"Hayes Fawcett

@Hayesfawcett3
Expecting a significant decommitment tomorrow"



OK. What happened?

No sign of losing players because BA got fired.

Who would you rather play for? UberEats driver or NFL HOF player with 2 HS state championships and 5 years as HC and OC?

Exactly. Brent's loyalty has gotten him in trouble a time or two, but I'm hoping he stays loyal to Witten. Really looking forward to these last 3 games now.

It wasn’t OU related. But at time he posted it no one knew.

Here is the outcome of that post:

Don’t really like Hayes but he gets bona fide scoops. And with our OC being fired it sure got my ears perked up.
