I was actually at the OU -Navy game in October 1965. That was the beginning of my Junior year as an OU student and that was the worst OU football team I’ve ever seen , before or since. Yes, even worse than this year’s team, as the 65 team went 3-7. Even worse than any of John Blake’s three teams, and yes I saw them all. Bud Wilkinson had retired after my freshman year and his successor was the line coach , Gomer Jones ( not OL or DL because players played both ways then ). He was awful and was fired after his 2nd year. Navy was like 4-4-2 that year, so not great either, but they shut us out in Norman , 10-0. So, our offense was just as bad, if not worse than this year. I’ve seen a lot of good and great OU teams and some really bad ones over the years. It appears this year OU has hit bottom for the 3rd time in my 79 years. I hope BV saves his job next year, but I’m not sure the schedule next year is going to facilitate that for him. Perhaps this new OC will be a young prodigy and provides an offense commensurate with what is likely and hopefully be another very good defense. If not, could be another ugly 6-6 season and the end of the BV era.
Goddamn, I love you guys. Too many of the beat reporters are too close to the team and pussyfoot around topics. Ryan curses JJF's name and spits on the ground. I'm here for it. 😂
So far not losing anyone thats gonna be missed. Under BV's the talent evaluation has not been very good. As far as being better next year good luck, we don't have the players to be much better even with a new OC. They need to do 100 times better with the Portal than they were last year but even thats not likely to be a lot better. I will call it now, BV's will be gone after next season. I was hoping Brent would be the next Bud, Barry or Bob but I just don't think he can get it done. Look at the 2025 schedule and ask yourself if you see 6 wins with what we have right now and maybe a few portal players that are worth a crap.
He also just lost Brendan Thompson and Phil Picardi !!! You can talk all the time about building a culture and relationships, but sometimes you have to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and shucking and jiving !!! What in the hell is Emmitt Jones doing? I also do understand that scholarship is not for three or four years anymore. It is year to year. !!! People keep saying they’re building a NFL model. Those draft choices are basically saying to four years not year to year now they can be waived or cut.!!! Another thing, Oklahoma does not do and I’ve never heard this ever being discussed. Does the coaching staff take a field trip and people who are not familiar with this staffs do this all the time!!!! For example, NFL teams will welcome a staff maybe were talking offensive and the NFL will demonstrate from a professional level schemes game plans everything will be included from a professional level. It would be a great benefit to go to Kansas City and talk to Andy Reid and his offensive staff will go to the San Francisco 49ers and Kyle Shanahan or go to the Los Angeles Rams and talk to Coach McVey this usually last for a week and you gain vital information and perspective
