Too soft of a coach . OU fans resented his soft style and stubborn coaching . His offense was figured out . 

Expand  

Offense was figured out…LOL!!! Fucking duh… everyone’s schemes are figured out. It was the lack of elite OL players that he had previously that made the offense lesser.

Heupel does seem like the obvious choice. Looks like a bag of dicks and has proven he’s actually a good HC. Plus he’s offensively minded and they want that. 8 million buyout

They fired his fat ass when his offense wasn't good enough. His FIL (Boren) isn't president anymore. He ain't going back there.

Sort of Urban with the Florida thing. But that was more drawn out and weird.

Yeah, that's close, but I don't consider FL a helmet school, but in the next tier down.  In my world there are 7 true helmet schools-TX, OU, USC, mich, ND, USC, bama. Those should all be destination jobs, though we are doing our best to challenge that notion.

USC is one of the few schools that’s not in the SEC that can put together a roster like an SEC power. Even on the defensive side of the ball. When USC is rolling they can pull whomever they want out of the West Coast. People forget how loaded those Carroll teams were. With a good DC, you’ll stop seeing Samoan names or QBs like Bryce Young on SEC and ACC rosters.

I think I care about this stuff too much. Legit ruined an otherwise nice little Sunday for me. Probably a good sign I need to step back and not be so affected by the decisions of greedy millionaires.

Also why I feel Venables wouldn’t go after he was scape goated 

Expand  

Agreed, they fucked him over as well. If I were BV and they called me, I'd say "Why don't you call Mike Stoops and see what he's up to?".

I wonder if the Bob Stoops as interim will be to hold the place until the NFL regular season is over and they can make a run at Rhule or Urban? Or even keep him on for the 2022 season like Luke Fickell at tOSU until one of those NFL guys is ready to jump.

No, two of those were with the preseason Heisman favorite third year QB. How quickly people forget.

Expand  

I don't think any Texas fans have forgotten that OU has been cranking out Heisman QB's. The majority of your post was about this season. Of course their offensive numbers will regress with a true freshman QB. OU has gotten marginally worse I suppose but they aren't bad. He also developed Baker and Kyler, and even Jalen I suppose, into the NFL starters they are today. I see where people are coming from when they argue he couldn't get it done with Heisman quarterbacks, but I don't think its fair, because I don't think they would have been near as good had they played elsewhere.

I mean it makes sense. USC is a blue blood and that conference can be dominated right off the bat. Still shocking. My guess is he doesn’t like the SEC, and that’s fair. I don’t like him but I do t see this as “running away” from the SEC. Why go through that if you can make just as much money and put together just as good a team in SoCal?

Brian Kelly was supposedly a leading candidate for USC. Could end up in Norman. 

Expand  

Nah, although LSU is now starting to wishcast Kelly to LSU. OU has many of the same issues ND does but is fixing to be in a tougher conference and has less money. That’s a downgrade.

tOSU belongs. By every single metric Gator has had more sustained success than Texas, Michigan, and Notre Dame over the past 40 years. It’s a helmet school if the word means anything. 

Expand  

I would consider it a newer helmet school along with FSU/LSU and maybe Penn State.

You ever been to South Bend?  At least Norman doesn’t have the crappy weather (except tornados). 😁

Expand  

But it’s such a cush job.  They go 9-3 or better and they are in the playoff conversation.  A sizeable portion of the country believes its their religious duty to root for them.  They have their own national TV network- a real actual network with shows and stuff.  They play a schedule that looks tough on paper but always seems light in practice.

I get that he walked right into a well oiled machine and inherited incredible recruiting momentum, but the whole notion that LR is a “mediocre” coach and that his offense has been “figured out” is some of the most delusional shit I’ve seen on this site.

He's a great offensive coordinator,  better? This is the test now, if he turns USC around, there you go. But taking over dads successful business doesn't make you a good business man.

He was handed a solid team by Stoops, and then things got worse.  Beating up on sisters-of-the-poor does you no good if you embarrass yourself nationally.

So now he's going to be handed a shit-show team in a shit-show conference and somehow magically do better?

The only reason this is a good move for him is that:

A) He got a shitload of money out of USC

 B) He got that money before he really exposed himself as a mediocre coach

Expand  

The key is how much of that money is guaranteed.
