Is Jason Witten the Answer? Oklahoma Turns To NEW Playcaller | Offensive Coordinator Big Board v1 · Sooner or Later Sports

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So Oklahoma Sooners did make the move. Ben Arbuckle's gone.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: And now we got the announcement earlier today. I dropped
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the video when I had the opportunity. Me and John
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: went live on Locked on Sooners. And while we were live,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: they announced that Jason Witten will be running the offense
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: with Kevin Wilson helping him out. So let's talk about
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: what that looks like. And is Jason Witten coaching for
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a job?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe so.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Let's dive into it. Before we do that, welcome to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Sooner or Later Sports, part of Unfair Sports Network.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I'm your boy, Jay.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all for pulling up to the channel. This video
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is powered by our partners at PrizePix. New users play five,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: get $ 150 in bonus lineups if you win. What gets
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: interesting about all of this is that Jason Witten being
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: announced as the interim offensive coordinator, there's details behind that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But we're also going to point out a few targets.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Told y'all Thanksgiving was when I was going to do
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: it because I need to figure out jobs and stuff, but...
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: My guy over there in the cord, Darth X-Core, has
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: decided to put together a list. And so we got 1.0
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of what we look like when it comes to the list.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We'll whittle it down later. But this is what we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: got to talk about first is Jason Witten being taken
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: over to play calling. And it sounds like CBS Sports
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: had an article saying that Kevin Wilson is going to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: be a part of that, kind of a mentor and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: help him out. And George Stoya over at Sooner Scoop
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: pointed out that Witten did call plays at the high
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: school level before he came here to Oklahoma. So he
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: has play call experience. His offenses were very robust there
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in the high school ranks. Now we get to see
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: what he can do here at the collegiate ranks. The
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: big question for him, though, is who will be the quarterback?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We don't have an answer for that yet. No one
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: has said if it's Mateer, if it's going to be someone.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: That's actually the thing we're waiting to see. But I'll
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: say this.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I'm actually very happy to see that Jason Witten is
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: taking over as the play caller. I'm very intrigued to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: see how exactly he does. This is going to be
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: one of those. It's going to be a big time experiment.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And that's nothing against him. It's not that I don't believe.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It's just I'm very curious to see exactly how he
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: puts all of this together. Yeah, it's 100% in his lap,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and he has now the opportunity to potentially take over
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator in the future.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Now, that's the question. If he does good here, do
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: y'all want him as y'all's offensive coordinator? Hop in the comments.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I want to hear y'all's thoughts on that because that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: has been the question that's been asked as of late.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: If Witten is successful over these next few games, should
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: he take over as OCCD's.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Higher from within?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'ma explain my thought process behind that. Before we continue,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: shout out to our partner, Theraprize Pixie, presenting sponsor of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the channel. Y'all know the deal. They got a great
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: promotion going on. New users play five, get $ 150 in

• 3:08
  Speaker 1: see if you got any promos going on. But right
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: now on the board, on the NBA side, it's NBA action.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: LeBron James, 13.5 points. We're going to take less. He
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: hasn't really been that dude. But Caleb Williams, I think
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he's going to put up some numbers tonight. Jackson Smith
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and Jigba, absolutely. Pick two or more players, pick more
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: or less in the stats. Boom, you are in there.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to actually throw something in her with,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to pick Maxie, but I do think
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I want some Shea Gildress Alexander because he kind of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: needs to put up some numbers. And Cooper Flagg has
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: been cooking.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Check out the site. Go to prize picks, new users,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: play five.

  Speaker 1: if you're in the green area, you can get to going.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And follow me at Unfair Sports so you can outdo me.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And as always, please gamble responsibly. All right, so here's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: my thoughts.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I like Witton. I'm a fan of Witton.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want him to just immediately walk into the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: OC spot being a fresh play caller. I would like
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: him to get some more experience and be doing this
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: for a little bit longer. Maybe in a couple years, right?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: If we can see success with the new coach and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: him on staff.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe we can get it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But as of right now, I don't want him to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just default into that role. Even though I like what
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing out of his tight ends, They're going to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: get better at blocking. I do like what I see. So,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of course, me and the folks over in the Discord,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: over in the Unfair Sports community, you can find a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: link in the description below if you want to join us,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: went ahead and started building out our list. So here's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: your comparison of play callers right now.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: This is 1.0. There's a lot of coaches' names on.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Here, a lot of statistics to look at, but you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: got Robbie Zell over there at Wake Forest, Neil Brown,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: head coach at North Texas, Joe Craddock, quarterback coach at Florida, G.J. Kinney,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: head coach at Texas State, Slade Nagel down there at Houston,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You got all the way down. You got Chip Kelly.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You got Mike Shanahan of Indiana.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You got Grimes.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You got Jonathan Brewer, Andy Kolonecki, Kansas, Joe.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Sloan, Kentucky. Here's the deal on this list.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of names that I do not feel
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like we actually have a legitimate shot at. And I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: say that because the challenge you're going to run into
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is you still have to Hope that they're not in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the runnings for head coaching jobs. First off though, Neil
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Brown's a head coach. GJ Kenny's a head coach. I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: don't think either one of them leads a head coaching
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: job to come here. I just don't see a reason
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to leave. Even as a G6, why would you leave
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a head coaching job where you're in charge? And if
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you continue to succeed, you end up in a P4
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: head coaching job. I just don't see it. So Kenny's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: off of my list and Neil Brown is also off.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But I do have their numbers and everything up here.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Shanahan feels like one that is a very large stretch.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I don't see why he would ever leave Cignetti. He's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator now, and he won a national championship.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Why would he leave that job?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Exactly. But I do, Kolenicki is interesting at Kansas.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: When he had Jalen Daniels, they put up numbers. He
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: struggled up at Penn State as the OC, but you know.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Joe Sloan was hated at LSU. Now he's at Kentucky
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: doing well, but he's with Stein. I think Will Stein
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: is the one that leads things there. But the ones
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that I am intrigued by is Robbie Zell, former Alabama player,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the one that actually did the.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: He imitates....
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Saban, he was imitating Saban in the locker room. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that's the big running joke of him doing that. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Saban laughed. He won't let, because he wouldn't do it
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in front of him, but he loved the video he
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: cracked up. And so Robbie Zell won. He's at Wake
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Forest and they're doing really good this year.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That's an option.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He can make a lot more money coming here. Joe Craddock,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by, I have questions about why he did
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: not become the OC there at Florida instead of Buster Faulkner.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: That's kind of a question there. But at the same time,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe Buster Faulkner is an option.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's, I don't know, but Joe Craig could be interesting.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Slade Nagel is one is also that I'm very intrigued
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: down there in Houston. He's been killing it. He's also
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: been with his head coach, Willie Fritz for a while.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be a tough one to kind
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of pry away. It's hard to pull coaches away from
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: their head coaches. They've been with for a while. Look
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: at our staff, defensive guys, Bates and Chavis. People were
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: coming after him like crazy. It's hard to pry him
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: away from BV and.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: There's dudes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Brandon Hall. He don't want to be
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a DC anymore. He enjoys being a position coach. It's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: going to be hard to pry him away from BV.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So with that, Andy Kolonecki is, of course, interesting. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of course, Chip Kelly is the one that everybody loves.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Chip Kelly is the name everybody talks about the most.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: He's the one that everybody is like, I would like
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: him to be the OC because he's killing it at Northwestern. Now, granted,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he's being very creative at Northwestern because I think he
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: has to.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Can that translate here in the SEC?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Probably so. He did good at Ohio State and won
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the national championship. But will he stick around? I'll put
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it to you this way. If you've watched the show before,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: if you listen to me talk about it numerous times,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I told you, you're going to change OCs.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Every one to three years. Good or bad. That's what happens.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: If they succeed, they're getting a head coaching job somewhere
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: if they want to be a head coach. That is
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the rumor that Buckle was pushing for. which is why
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that was led to his demise because he was so
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: focused on that. He wasn't focused on what he should
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: have been focused on, which was winning games. If they're bad,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you're going to fire them within one to three years,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what happened to Arbuckle.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: See what I'm saying? So be prepared for.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Change at the OC spot a lot because when you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: have a defensive minded coach, that's how things work. Saban
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: did it. Kirby did it. It's going to be what
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it is. It is what it is with defensive minded guys.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Their guys will be poached. So all you can do
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is hope that you can get one that doesn't really
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: want to be a head coach and is ready to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: settle roots and be in one spot, but not be
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: so comfortable that when things aren't going the way they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: should be, like they're not innovating, they stop innovating because
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: they're comfortable. You want someone to continuously be growing and innovating.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It's a very fine line, very slippery slope. That's the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: toughest thing out there. Coaches do get comfortable. You saw
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that here before and we fired coaches because of it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So that being said, let's see what happens.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Let me know what y'all think. Hop in the comments.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Want to hear your thoughts.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Thought I'd make a video on Wynton being a coach
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and then also some of the people that we have
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: on our list.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: We start at 1.0. We've got more coming down the line.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: So keep your eyes open. Definitely want to hear from
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you all. Shout out to our partners there at PrizePix.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: New users. Play five. Get $ 150 in bonus lineups if
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: you win.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: We will have more of these over the next few
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: days because it's all we got to do. And then
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: we'll also do our breakdown of Oklahoma versus Florida.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: See you all soon.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Peace.
