Since Billy has seemingly decided to ride or die with his OL buddies and his own Cracker Jack playcalling, I wonder how quick his soon-to-be-nuclear seat will shoot him to number one. 1-3 to start the season should do it….Coaches Hot Seat Ranking – Coaches Hot Seat 2024

Wow @TN G8tr I hadn’t heard about OU’s #2 QB transferring. That’s a traditional power which is currently relevant. Or was up until a couple of weeks ago. Is Venables radioactive for some reason?
They need to establish a contract system to go with the grant-in-aid scholarships that puts some structure to free agency.

In all honesty does this really matter? I do not care where a guy comes from and whether he has taken in shyt in G'ville or worked with a former coach to me makes no difference. He is either good or not and time will tell. Nothing against Supperior but he has had his share of duds as asst. coaches throughout his career, just like all coaches, but this guy may turn out to be great and I hope he does,
