Mr. P Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Gonna be losing a lot of key guys in 2019, but we've also got a lot of young talent that was battle-tested in 2018. Some staffing shakeups are possible, and some serious defensive upgrades are desperately needed. How's the recruiting outlook heading into the off-season? New year, new thread... BOOMER SOONER!

Valhalla Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Some type of news coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know how the boardcasters will say something like, "Here's your ballgame!" at a crucial moment when one team has an opportunity to seal the outcome? That's what's happening. I hate to make too much of a big deal of it, but the DC hire for OU will determine their next decade. They will either take it to the next level with this hire, or gradually decline. The current status of "Texas Tech with 4-star athletes" is unsustainable, Oklahoma must secure the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is bad business decision to leave a top college job for the NFL. Riley could coach at Oklahoma for 20 years if he was success. He would probably be fired after 3-5 years in the NFL. Its just how it works. I think 8 of 32 coaches were fired in the NFL this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He’s a HC at a top 5 program with nowhere to go but up. He’s a couple of adjustments away from winning a title. If I’m a football coach, there’s no way I’m leaving a OU, BAMA or UT type job for the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OU offense is gonna take a step back. Hopefully defense takes a big step forward (hopefully) but offense will take a step back. On 1/1/2019 at 5:55 PM, Valhalla said: I really want Fields. I think he would win a Hesiman in Riley’s offense. I think so too, but I think Fromm's underwhelming performance gives Smart some leverage to keep Fields on campus.

However, Field's has been pretty fed up and is very public about that. I'm seeing that Ohio State might be the place he lands if he decides to transfer. He would have to compete with Tate Martell.

He's fine, and will put up really good numbers in Riley's system... but yeah, he's not a cheat code like Kyler or able to just will his team to victory like Baker. I see him more in the mold of someone like Landry Jones: will flourish when things are running smooth, but not a gamebreaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
