We have to be close. I think Brent is about to retire and he told him to take a job while one was available. That is my hope anyways. 

I was too busy laughing at OU's misfortune to think of that.

Would be amazing for Venables to hire Arbuckle/Mateer and then quit immediately.

I know that he had mentioned that her cancer had returned. That’s kind of my reasoning that he retires, it’s not working. Have some respect, take a pile of cash and walk away. 

So what’s OU’s move in that event, with a head coach resigning right at the end of the season? The carrousel of decent head-coaching candidates is slowing to a halt. Do they bring back Stoops for a bridge year? Hire another coordinator at a P5 team?

Isn't Jimbo Fisher available?

Urban Meyer is the only answer.

From a SoonerScoop post from a regular fan, explaining why Zac Alley wants to part ways with OU. Probably not true, but worth posting anyways, for its literary qualities…

Didn't he sign a long term extention like six months ago?

This is one of the more batshit crazy things I’ve read in a while. It’s hilarious in its absurdity.

This is great. The podcasters are openly wishing Venables would resign, naming assistants they want gone…openly comparing Venables to Charlie Strong…

It’s hilarious, because at this point in the season cycle, all the negativity does is turn up the heat on Venables, and make it harder to recruit and hire.

On the above podcast, they describe Curtis Lofton’s job as OU GM- a player wants more money, so they go to him for help. Lofton then sits down and reviews the player’s aid, and the player’s expenses, and gives him advice on better budgeting.

Things are not starting well this offseason in Okieville. They’re down big sad on their boards and it’s glorious watching the pumpers try to pump up FCS transfers and the new dipshit DC from Clemson. What they really aren’t handling well is the rise of Texas:

Love it. Like many here, I took Strategy classes in MBA school. My big takeaway about Strategy? You ought to have one. 
 
Texas’ is straightforward- use the large SEC media money to make sure the football program is staffed as well and as fully as any program in the country. Leverage a large, successful alumni booster base and a location in a talent rich state (as flagship university) to have one of the nation’s most talented teams. 
 
OU, lacking some key attributes that Texas has, is fumbling for a strategy that might work. They keep trotting out variations of “get exceptional coaches that want to be in OK because of…tradition” or “hard nosed players that are just tougher and love the game”. You can tell how bad they are struggling by their boards’ repeated calls for salary caps. (The best is their cries “something has to be done e to fix this”, because, evidently, the world cannot tolerate a non-elite OU)

Good, doesn't seem that long ago, people like okie and others could get by with providing 10k cash, car and small house for mom, and even a bullshit jobs for dad. Ou did this for decades and built their "win̈ing tradition " off of it. Every trophy that ou has was bought.  So fuck them.
