Agreed, who the heck rewards a coach for doing absolutely nothing to warrant a raise. That is not good business, but this is OU we are talking about, so not surprising. I hope they keep him around for his 10 year contract 😂
The responsibility may all fall at his feet but still nothing changes. He just regurgitates the same garbage every press conference. I'll say I told you so now, a year ahead of schedule. But that was another year wasted with insurmountable damage done.
That ia why Emmet Brown doesn't get a pass. Catching a football is the same in high school, college, and pros. No excuses. What the heck is up with the RB playing time? Why isn't Robinson getting 20 carries?
Navy is naval officer school. They’re under government contract and will go on to the military after they graduate and receive their commissions as officers. They signed on the dotted line already. Same with Army and Air Force. Their respective officer academies and they’ll go on to do the same.
Ryan I definitely disagree with you on MH. Mateer is not so good that he is a hands down winner. If MH had even average SEC receivers he would have thrown for 350+. This game was horrible in every way. I seriously question the coaching staff. Their game planning is horrible. Their personnel decisions are horrible. Their talent evaluation is horrible. The player development is horrible. Ryan totally nailed the wide receiver room: they’ve had all year and they just stink. We need 10 new guys not just a few more. I dread next year already with this coaching staff.
As soon as I heard all the salesmanship seminar bromides that BV spouted off when he got off the plane, I knew he wasn't the answer. Switzer and Stoops knew how to talk to players, Venables talks empty conceptual, intangible word salad. He's not inspiring nor a commanding presence to the players. He hasn't shown good decision making since he got here. There is a world of difference between a position coach or coordinator and the job of the guy at the head of the team. Yeah, Venables won with a good defense at Clemson, but it was still Dabo Sweeney's team.
Hoov seems way more enamored by Hawkins than me. I thought he was good today (aside from just throwing heaters when a floater was required), but what we saw during the season was that the way he was running around in the backfield to make Navy look silly didn't work against SEC defenses. He tried the same thing multiple times during his brief tenure and just ended up getting killed, which led to more fumbles.
Ben Arbuckle & John Mateer will fail for 2 reasons: Emmett Jones & Demarco Murray. They cannot develop players. Cale Gundy's production, as both the RB coach and the WR coach, is in another universe compared to these two. And because Arbuckle & Mateer will fail, so will Brent. But he deserves to because he is too incompetent to see it or to afraid to fix it and replace them with coaches that will compliment Arbuckle. He never should have fired Cale.
Do you understand now why JA didn’t throw the ball. That is why, drops, not where they are suppose to be on routes. It has been that way all year but I don’t hear anyone say, maybe Emmet Jones is a recruiter but not a developer
OU talking heads "explaining" how OU finds yet another way to lose a game? BV's day's are numbered. He hasn't "mangaged" the NIL portal situation very well. OU is a train wreck.
Is it true Joe C and OU admin cannot pay the BV buyout even after 2025!! ? seems it will take until 2026 or more to get rid of BV . The sad thing is that 7-5 next season ( which is still terrible for OU standards) willl be hailed by Joe C as a success and reason to keep BV ,who we all know is a bust.
We don’t have the pull and financial firepower to be successful in the NIL era. This is contractor-tamper football now. And were it not for that, Venables might be better as a HBC. But this ain’t it chief. I wonder how Bedenbough would do as HBC. The Dabo-Venables pre-NIL folksy BS sounds good but it doesn’t mix well with contractor-tamper football: most of these contractors don’t give a flying rat about that OU logo and I don’t why that’s not being more talked about. I’m for looking at BB as a replacement because we’re probably gonna start over anyways and he’s the one guy we need. He’s why we’re even relevant in “recruiting” anymore, which is a safer way of saying we’re bidding on a 19 year old contractor who will probably be gone in 12 months.
Mateer will be the starter. Navy was not a SEC team. He started good but fell back into bad habits with his feet and decisions. Mateer will be the starter and every coach always says it is a competition when it never is in reality.
@ Mateer will light it up at OU with his pass and legs as well if weapons around him. You can’t have Thr undisciplined play that you see at OU and win. We need better talent at player spots and coaching spots as well.
Another friend of Bob’s gets rich on the back of the program. The Stoops football program has fallen beacause of his decisions. Bob led the search committee, led the failed NIL program He is the man behind the curtain pulling all the levers. He is busted trying to be cheap and he has tanked the program. Castliogne gave him the keys.
This recap is as frustrating as the OU season. You got dangerously close to covering the true issues. It’s on the AD and his minions who have made a continuous series of bad moves ever since the SEC announcement. The AD’s hubris cost us Lincoln Riley. He made a bad hire in an unproven BV and then poured $44M of cement on that bad decision. Stood by and watch BV make a lazy, terrible hire at OC. These moves and others will cause OU to disappear from the college football scene. - Horrible portal performance No NIL game…hemorrhaging talented players and coaches galore. - Please put your sports journalism big boy pants on and chronicle this debacle…so maybe it doesn’t happen again.
Seriously kid carried this today 🤦🏽♂️ you’re obviously not very knowledgeable about the game of football look at his numbers they speak for themselves if those seven drop passes would’ve been completed he would’ve had over 350 yards kid made plays out of nothing. You’re just hating if you came away from that game and have something to say about the quarterback you’re clueless. And that was achieved with receivers out and kids. I’ve never touched the field.
Really the kid would’ve had over 350 yards if balls would’ve been caught. And a completion rating that would be insane for a young freshman QB playing in a ball game. Some of your ignorance is mind blowing.
Good or bad, OU has been and will always be my team.
MAGA
As Dalton said in Road House; "It'll get worse before it gets better."
Where the hell is Wade Garrett when u need him?!!
Dalton should have told the WRs who were injured "Pain don't hurt."
Thank you guys for keeping us informed as well as you do.
There is a reason why Mannings wanted Arch to set and learn for 2 years. Playing QBs without development can be a killer for them.
Joe C signing BV to an extension and increased buyout crippled this program. We need new leadership across the board.
Agreed, who the heck rewards a coach for doing absolutely nothing to warrant a raise. That is not good business, but this is OU we are talking about, so not surprising.
I hope they keep him around for his 10 year contract 😂
BV is the next John Blake.
Exactly, how many times can we say it can't get any worse.
It can. Next season.
It will get worse before it gets better.
People say it can’t get worst, want to BET!!!
BV is an obvious bust. If you think this team is winning 9 games next year, you watch too much Hallmark channel.
😂
7-5 is probably extremely optimistic. More likely 5-7.
@@stevemoore2150 Maybe 6-6 and this time a win over an easy opponent in a very minor bowl game? Michigan messes up the non conference schedule though.

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fight On 🗡️✌🏽💪🏽😤
Update, DC took a lateral move to WV. This is no doubt a dumpster fire.
The responsibility may all fall at his feet but still nothing changes. He just regurgitates the same garbage every press conference.

I neve could figure out who OU's featured back was this year. Did you? I thought Xavier Robinson had some good games, but he seemed to be MIA.
Totally agree with John about Hawkins… spend the money elsewhere and develop Mike instead of blowing money on Mateer
I hate to admit it, im done with my Sooners this year. Brutally crappie!
Of course Mateer will start. What are you even talking about.
Should OU recruit Navy's Dline? They make plays
Navy is naval officer school. They’re under government contract and will go on to the military after they graduate and receive their commissions as officers. They signed on the dotted line already. Same with Army and Air Force. Their respective officer academies and they’ll go on to do the same.
@oudude8770 they can transfer before their JR year without issues and a commitment
Ryan I definitely disagree with you on MH. Mateer is not so good that he is a hands down winner. If MH had even average SEC receivers he would have thrown for 350+.

Mateer hasn’t played anything close to the competition he will see next season.
FIRE DEMARCO MURRY, why did Sawchuck get most of the snaps? He was yhe worse running back.
Why did you all not ask the players why Navy was able to run 95 yard, get open at WRs?
DC Alley Cat's fault who couldn't recruit
As soon as I heard all the salesmanship seminar bromides that BV spouted off when he got off the plane, I knew he wasn't the answer. Switzer and Stoops knew how to talk to players, Venables talks empty conceptual, intangible word salad. He's not inspiring nor a commanding presence to the players.

Yeah, Venables won with a good defense at Clemson, but it was still Dabo Sweeney's team.
Players see through the BS and shallowness right away.
They need a new running back coach in my opinion too. I love all the coaching staff as people but many questions about their coaching ability
Coach Jones should be told TOOTLE-OO 😮
Hoov seems way more enamored by Hawkins than me. I thought he was good today (aside from just throwing heaters when a floater was required), but what we saw during the season was that the way he was running around in the backfield to make Navy look silly didn't work against SEC defenses.

Arbuckle better get his hands around this offense early & don't let these assistant coaches bully him or he won't make it 😮😮😮
Are you kidding mr Hoover, Hawkins had a few goid plays but alot of his passes were thrown at the feet of his receivers, he was horrible.
Ben Arbuckle & John Mateer will fail for 2 reasons: Emmett Jones & Demarco Murray. They cannot develop players.

My job is not exciting but it has to be better than reporting on this team
Do you understand now why JA didn’t throw the ball. That is why, drops, not where they are suppose to be on routes. It has been that way all year but I don’t hear anyone say, maybe Emmet Jones is a recruiter but not a developer
Raise your hand if you think 2025 will be better than 2024? We are witnessing the Peter Principle in effect with BV at the helm.
Mateer will be much better but again if he has nothing around him the results will improve little
Stinking 👃🏽who ‼️ LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 losing to Navy 👀👀👀🫣😲😳🤫🤐 WeAreSC Fight On 🗡️✌🏽💪🏽😤Fight On 🗡️✌🏽💪🏽😤 WeAreSC Fight On 🗡️✌🏽💪🏽😤
The one thing I was sure of when BV aarived, was that OU would be disciplined. Boy was I wrong!!! We are now Jokelahoma. Awful.
OU talking heads "explaining" how OU finds yet another way to lose a game?
BV's day's are numbered. He hasn't "mangaged" the NIL portal situation very well.
OU is a train wreck.
I hope Oklahoma don't bring in these portal players and ruin them, where they can't catch a darn ball.
Can OU afford to pay BV 33 mil plus 7 mil to assistants even if BV goes 6-6 or worse next year? Seems Joe C has locked OU in with BV until 2027 !!
Is it true Joe C and OU admin cannot pay the BV buyout even after 2025!! ?
seems it will take until 2026 or more to get rid of BV . The sad thing is that 7-5 next season ( which is still terrible for OU standards) willl be hailed by Joe C as a success and reason to keep BV ,who we all know is a bust.
Until big money donors say enough and stop funding the program, nothing will really change.

56 players 24 of them freshman that's all I got to say
Mateer will be the starter. Navy was not a SEC team. He started good but fell back into bad habits with his feet and decisions. Mateer will be the starter and every coach always says it is a competition when it never is in reality.
Mateer hasn’t played real competition. Hawkins would light it up at WSU too
@ Mateer will light it up at OU with his pass and legs as well if weapons around him. You can’t have Thr undisciplined play that you see at OU and win. We need better talent at player spots and coaching spots as well.

All this talk about Hawkins being a good passer is crazy. He’s not a good passer.
Threw a ton of good balls today

Hawkins won't ready till he's a junior and senior. Lebby and Dillion would hang a half a hundred on Navy
Hawkins was not good. He missed several long passes. He is a freshman, and it showed.
The best a qb looked all year
Really the kid would’ve had over 350 yards if balls would’ve been caught. And a completion rating that would be insane for a young freshman QB playing in a ball game. Some of your ignorance is mind blowing.
