I’ll translate that. It means no one is committing and we need to buy time for why it’s taking so long

Another poster just said Joseph is being retained..Rumor or confirmed I do not know. 

You know we will have hit rock bottom when Frost calls the 4 coaches he just fired to come back and coach 1 more season. "Nevermind we changed our minds"

Just now, Hedley Lamarr said:

It is almost like we fired our other coaches weeks ago for no reason. lol 

The reason was because they knew we were going to lose the last 2 games and it would be harder to explain keeping Frost after 2 more pathetic losses. So they got ahead of the fan outrage

Anyone else see the comments from Slauson saying he heard Martinez is not being given the option to come back next year.

I feel confident that we are doing our coaching search(s) about as well as we did our special teams.  Schools that want to win, and more importantly demand winning, are spending 10’s of millions on coaches.  Getting them in place to recruit and exploit the transfer portal.  We appear to have not named on actual hire.  The whole, they might still be coaching is BS. Kelly might have ND in the CFP, Napier is in the conference championship ,other guys coaching in bowls.  Color me not impressed with our sh1t show.

 

Throw money at Herman or Chadwell.  Or start brushing up on googling guys we’ve never heard of.  And please no Helfrich or Harrell.  Or anyone from WVU....It’s looking like we fired guys with no real plan...Hoping I am really wrong. 

Couldn't agree more. This is pathetic. 

So we fired our staff 2 weeks ago. Still don’t have anyone announced. All the other teams choosing their head coaches is creating competition for assistants now that they are ready to fill their staff. This cycle is so crazy positions are being filled and opening new high profile openings because coaches are being stolen. No one thought Notre Dame and Oklahoma would be open this year. 

Sooner than later I hope to open this f#&%ing thread and see someone post an actual official hire.

No, because oklahoma in the Big12 is significantly better and more consistent compared to where we were in the big12 prior to leaving. 

True but they are also heading to the best conference in college football. The SEC is drastically different landscape than the big 12. You will be expected to be physical on BOTH sides of the ball. Cant just play offense in the SEC.

I would think the next OC - if he is actually going to the in charge of the offense (scheme, play calls, recruiting, game planning, strategy, etc) would want to have some say in who, what when where and how the new offense is assembled and implemented.  Therefore, presumably, the OC is already known but not yet revealed, for any number of reasons.  

Yes and Joseph brings some major credibility since he coached the 2019 LSU receiving core. Recruiting many of them. So pretty hard to say anyone else in the country has recruited better than Joseph or sent more receivers to the NFL than him the last few years. Also look how good they are all doing in the NFL as well. Ready to make an impact as soon as they hit the league.

I have to assume it needs to be ASAP with the early signing day happening on the 15th. That's not a lot of time to shore up what you can with this class (I know it's going to be small and pretty bad from a star perspective).

 

I don't see why delaying brings anything unless they are coaching this weekend.

Moves are being made. Florida and USC are stealing the head coach from a winning program. So I don't think anyone is waiting until after conference championship week.

I personally don't think Riley will be successful at USC.  Just a gut feeling.  He will be moving his family again in 3-5 years.

 

Building a program is very different than sustaining a successful one.

 

Just like, I don't think TO could have done what BD did....and vice versa.  

Yeah I think USC has a higher standard to play offense and defense. I think what kept Riley from making much noise in the playoffs was because he was only good at 2 phases of the game. Offense and Special Teams. But he didn't have solid enough defenses to get it done. When USC has been good they have had solid D and O. He will need to value D more.

Does anyone know if there's some kind of time frame here? Like, when does Frost have to get these guys, whoever they are, picked, hired, and out recruiting?

Not sure but with early signing in 2 weeks I would think it would be ASAP. Also while all these other programs are trying to pin down their head coach we need to lock down the assistants we want. Less competition right now.

If Brumfield and MJ are N, then we have 2 spots to fill OC, RB, QB, OL. Interesting to see how this plays out. 

I agree. I would assume OC takes QB. OL just handles that. 

So who picks up the RB.

How many games were we down by 2 or more scores and came back to make it a 1 score loss? It seems like more than one if memory serves me correct. 

I believe it was 5 games. It's also what I was saying in other threads where we pad our offensive stats late in the game when the other team is up and playing a prevent defense and we add 80 yards and a td late.

No development.

Someone was developed if we were shredding big ten Ds

amazing - looks like it boils down more to ST play.  

Then why did Frost fire the entire offensive staff if our offense was so good?

Bob wouldn't be crazy......I think he's around $4 million per year with Fox.  SEC tv money can put the Oklahoma job in the $10 million range for a name and resume like Bob Stoops.

Mel Tucker just got 9.5 million for 3 years of experience. 2 were losing seasons. Bob should be with $20 based on that scale 

let’s break the curse. Hire solich back as interim coach for 2022 while we conduct thorough coaching search for the next year

Interesting isn’t it. 

It is interesting from the standpoint I question it’s accuracy or validity. If you struggle to score, lose 75% of your games. I don’t really believe some stat that tells me we are a top 25 offense. My eyes tell me we are streaky and inconsistent offense that pulls off chunk plays at times to make game stats look better. But can’t produce when it matters. Or we pad stats at the end of games when we are down by 2 scores and defenses are playing prevent.

I’m fine if you don’t have the patience to look at these to analyze where we were good and bad at. 
 

Nobody has said everything is awesome and nothing needs to change. 
 

But, some find looking at this interesting. If you don’t, that’s fine. 

I just struggle with the wildly inconsistent ratings that so many different entities have. I saw one stat that said we were like 119th in the country in points scored per yard earned. So we got yards but not many points to back it up. So I question the validity of some of these stats people throw out that totally contradict other similar things. Like our PPG is not that good so how are we good in the red zone and good at moving the ball per some sources. 

It’s amazing how all the stats people post on here don’t translate to winning. If our offense was as efficient as many of these stats suggest we would score like 35-45 a game not the 25 we do now. It’s salso amazing how one place can say we are the 25th best offense and others say 110th. Just goes to show you can twist the narrative depending on what variables they include. That’s what great about W-L. Only 1 variable. Did you succeed or not

We have plenty of young guys on the roster thanks to the covid year. We need stop gap from JUCO and the portal to make up for all the misses and attrition from the early cycles. 

I get that. Like I said the class is small. But if you gonna bring in 13 why not bring in as good of 13 as possible. What if you could close with a couple wandale talents who could help next year. That doesn’t change JUCO or transfer kids

To be honest I have never been sold on Lincoln Riley, Now that he is actually going to have to do some coaching. It is a whole different animal in USC than it is in Norman. I don't think it is as great of a hire as everyone thinks it is going to be. 

 

Best news is Urban to USC is no longer a thing. 

He is waiting for the Nebraska job next year 

Man seeing these big baller moves by other programs I’m ready to see some Nebraska moves.

The question that keeps coming up to me about he OC hire is. Are they going to be able to do enough in 1 year to prove to the fans that we are heading in the right direction. In order to prove that to me it has to be a big time  coach to even move the needle. If not I would say scrap it and get a completely new staff, to me all signs point to us looking for a new head coach in a year anyway outside of a Tom Herman OC hire. I do not see any options on the table that would get me excited about a OC other than Herman. 

Plus some big name hires might be able to salvage this recruiting class by upgrading quality. Maybe numbers are low but solid rankings
