OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
Brian Lepak from KSU. He has done some great work with the room in Manhattan. If it's either him or Witten, that's a significant upgrade over what's been happening.

OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
Strong is one that confuses me. He seemed set to be a big part of the rotation next year, and those guys have been getting a TON of snaps and attention. There's some noise that he's just publicly checking his value to try to negotiate for an increase. It's what Stone did, and that worked out alright, at least so far.

During the injury shuffles, yes. By the end, they moved Fodje in to Guard and put a recovering Simmons out at RT instead of having Howland play. That's probably the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to see meaningful time. It does suck because they're going to have to replace him with someone who also doesn't stand too much of a chance of starting for the next two years on top of a tiny recruiting class.

Prime Rib Christmas (Let's talk)
I've got this planned for Sunday. We like mixing the leftover jus into some mayo to make a spread for the steak sandwich.

OU Recruiting 2026: Burnt Vegetables
Reading between the lines of some comments from the staff, they were pretty hamstrung by the terrible performance across the board last year. They refer to it as "negative recruiting", but it's just honesty from other programs since confidence was at a generational low. It really cratered a lot of the 26 class, and rightfully so. The hope is to address any immediate needs in the portal and hit 27 as hard as possible with the playoff momentum in tow.

I need to update my recipe. I'm either not using enough stock or cooking it too long.

Sterlin Harjo’s new show ‘The Lowdown’ coming to FX
We did one in 5th grade, but that was a tiny one in the playground as part of a history lesson for the 100th anniversary.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
You're seeing it now, Florida isn't going to have an appetite to hire a lower-tier coach at this point because they nicknamed their last guy "Sun Belt Billy". Even so, he had the Saban association working for him, or he may not have gotten the look in the first place.

Nearly exactly this. JJF and Murray are stealing paychecks at this point. Tough to get rid of "family", but sentimentality should not be part of the decision. Jones, I need to see big wins either in development or recruiting to justify keeping him. Doesn't look like there's anyone in '27 in the top 300 that he leads for. Bedenbaugh I'm still in on, for reasons outlined above. You'd have to think Nagy or BV would have options in mind. RBs and TEs should be dead simple to project, recruit, and develop.

It's absolutely the OL, but I don't know if letting Bill go is the answer. Now that he's finally had the NIL stuff and closing out recruitment put onto people who love doing it, he's back to competing for top talent. If there's a criticism I'd level at him now, it's that he's allowed the line to become far too passive to match the scheme. He needs to be an advocate for what makes a successful run game, not just someone who implements the things he's told to.

He did hit 1300 in '23, but it's not working this year. I don't know how much of it is his fault. I don't think Ikard's plan is for the whole slate of offensive position coaches to go, but they've got to get on the same page. Bedenbaugh doesn't want to coach his line to set the same way for every play (to accommodate the RPO), but that's what he's having to do right now. That means no push in the run game, no blocking support by TEs that can't do it, and no space for the WRs to get clear because of the aforementioned. The plan to abandon the run for this year is that he doesn't think you can re-install a package in the middle of the year that fixes the set issues, so you abandon the RPO and just use short passes in place of the run to backs who can catch a little. You hope it pulls people up off of the deeper zones and then you get Mateer a little time with a slower rush and more space downfield. You also hope it stops OLs from getting rolled up on, which has been the source of half of the OL injuries this year. It would require a LOT of humility from the staff and you probably still need to get rid of JJF for not finding a single TE who can block worth a damn and Murray for not being able to identify, land, and develop a RB with any vision.

I've never been to a campus with as much visible money. Everything was either brand new or under construction. I know Harvard's money is buried in supercolliders and mutual funds, but Oregon's is in steel, wood, and glass.
