re: Before these last few recruits commit to OU go on record about Venables .

OU has Lebby and Jackson Arnold coming in.

I know who they brought in. It's not likely, but it doesn't mean he won't handcuff them.

Oh go kill a Hooker.

Cmon A@M Ole Miss LSU Bama UGA fans go on record . I have seen countless claim OU is done and will be a average team in the sec let’s put names to the paper don’t be little bitches now !

You were just telling us last year how great Riley was and how he'd dominate the SEC.

Suddenly, a first time head coach is an upgrade.

What changed?

If he was, he isn't a very smart OU fan.

There have been cracks in OU fans and adminstration with LR over a two-year period. Some of OU's All American former players were letting out more frustating responses as the last season went.

LR's paronia lack of trust of anyone else, but his buddies, Grinch and Wylie, was getting old. Most anyone on this board could watch 15 minutes of his offense last year and tell he did not know what to do with two-high safeties.

OU has fans like every team, who don't know anything about what is going on internally or among the alumni/former players. Often younger generation who just like to talk big. I will tell you that former D players had been frustrated going back to LR's first days. Many former players on both sides of the ball were very frustrated, if you were to take the time and discuss it.

Could we see that something we could not define was off last year, yes. It just wasn't intelligent football.
Could we tell that LR getting rid of Schmitty and hiring Wylie was causing more poorly developed players every year, yes. Were we caught off guard, yes. Were we sad LR left no. (Just wished he had not lied about it, or even strung LSU along for that matter) Were we relieved when they brought in BV, yes.

Do I wish that some OU fans wouldn't come on here and act like texsa or aTm fans, talking about what we are going to do, yes. Just play the game. Win and it takes care of itself. Lose; well just don't give excuses. It happens

Hes right about one thing, the over on OU is easy money this year.

Baylor, Ok State and K State lost a ton and OU has the 6th best odds to win the title in Vegas.

They will be favored in every game so no way they lose 3. Its the big 12 for christs sake

LSU freek! Awesome sauce !

Will Venables be a upgrade over Riley and bring OU a national championship in 5 years …. If you say no post your reasoning and don’t worry I will be here to let you know how wrong you are . Oh btw take the over of 9.5 wins for OU this year …. East money

It’s unclear if he will be an upgrade.

OU has 2 NC in the last 40+ years. They could win another soon, but it’s been over 20 years since the last so that seems unlikely.

When LSU played OU in the playoff, the LSU coaching staff said that OU on film was about the 15th to 20th best team in the country

Lincoln Riley and his baby shite soft teams aren’t on that sideline anymore. You can just admit you’re scared to death of OU with Venables at the wheel

So correct me if I have bad info, but didn’t Bob Stoops name Riley his successor or was it the AD or was it both?

As far as what’s the new guy going to do. No one knows. Maybe he’s Bob Stoops Jr or maybe he’s more like a Bo Pelini or Coach Boom type of head coach.
