Joe Cribbs is worthy of being in the conversation.

Denbrock left after Jayden's heisman season. He saw the writing on the wall.

easily Baker Mayfield and Adrian Peterson. Tony Casillas was on the 1985 national championship team.

Randall Cobb. Had a great pro career with the Packers.

Lynn Bowden single handedly save a lost season.

Oh there are guys that were all pros in the nfl but those two were difference makers.

He never even played in the NCAA tourney. The one trip his team made to the postseason was the NIT.

Kyle Trask. Threw 40 touchdowns in 10 games (all SEC teams) to only 5 picks. Despite having no running game and statistically the worst UF defense in 100 years.

Jimmy figured out players weren’t where the long term money resides. Have heard him speak a few times.

Probably Baker, but I could also make a case for Steve Owens or Tony Casillas.


Tony Casillas won an NC in 1985.

The thread title said conference or national championship...

All three of those guys won conference championships (multiple actually)...

As did Colt McCoy for Texas in 2009.

For OU... I'd pick Cedric Jones. First round pick DE who played for Gary Gibbs and Howard...1992-1995. I think he was the #5 pick in the draft.

Going back... I'd pick Carl McAdams or Jim Grisham... both guys were first team All Americans. OU won a conference championship when they were freshmen..(1962) but when they were actually eligible OU never won a conference title.

This one is tough for Okie fans because they won so many conference championship games - however, many more choices for Longhorn since they didn't win shite.
