    You don’t get Deshaun without Tajh. And you don’t get Tajh without Lane Kiffin telling Tajh to GTFO UTs commitment list.

    It's hard to compare someone like Venables to previous era coordinators because of the money.

    Up until recently, someone like Venables would have taken a HC job a while ago because he had to in order to get paid. Now he can sit back and make $2M or whatever at Clemson every year and only leave for a job like this. Venables is a DC at Clemson still by choice, not because no one before OU ever thought about offering him a HC job.

    We don’t get Muschamp without James Davis brother Mike learning all the mistakes of his less talented brother thus being good enough to score the winning TD against Florida that got Muschamp fired. This calamitous chain or events is Chernobyesque for The Cocks.

    Rhule would be underwhelming as fuck

    he really got all that hype off that one year at baylor and then left them with complete shit. Then aranda came in and did everything even better than rhule did

    I think Lanning would be a good hire. Big jump but unlike Freeman he's been at a big program for a while.

    No one is going to do as well as Riley because they'll be playing Alabama every year. :twocents:

    Rhule has proven to have a great eye at evaluating QBs in the nfl. Oklahoma should be fine

    If he is jumping its cause he realizes the franchise is in a horrible spot and won't be getting better anytime soon. Might be a paycut right?

    OU won’t be playing Bama every year fwiw. We’ll either move to the East with Auburn or more likely move to pods.

    Pods will be awesome. It’ll guarantee you actually play everyone in a 4 year cycle. Hopefully a 9 game conference schedule, too.

    on the other hand, think about all the money Texas paid Tom Herman not to coach, just so they could turn around and hire the Bill Obrien of this cycle

    (which is probably a disservice to BoB given he's been an actual successful coach unlike Sark)

    so Oklahoma fans get Rhule, take a peek at Texas, and are probably pinching themselves all things considered.

    Rhule would be a really good hire.

    It would also be hilarious to read the OU fans/media sell Rhule's character as he leaves the Panthers with 4-5 games left in the season after the last few days.

    I'm not sure Rhule should make that move, though. Leaving the NFL for college makes a lot of enemies who are super arrogant about the NFL and want to crush your rep for leaving. Especially leaving before the end of the season there.

    Yup. And Mizzou would move to the West in this scenario to give both divisions 8 teams.

    Yeah its hard to judge him for anything with the Panthers because their roster is bad. He won at Temple and wasn't Baylor left for dead when he took them over?
