• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Feeling good. Feeling good. Uh, this has been a busy day.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So it's, uh, I, I feel like I woke up
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and I worked and then I, Went out to the family.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I ate half of an apple and I came in here.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: So let's do it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: You sound exactly like me. It's been one of those
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: days where it's been literally nonstop since like 6 a.m.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for me. And so now we get to continue the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: last part of our work day. Thank y'all for joining us.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: We appreciate y'all being a part of all of this
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that we're doing today because, you know, it's football season, baby.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and change in the air Brent Venables announced on Monday
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: well the school announced on Monday that Ben Arbuckle was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: relieved of his duties for those that have been underneath
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the rock and Jason Witten was placed as the interim
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and so with that being said more change
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: will probably come as the season progresses or once the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: season ends. So Coop, I ask you as we initially
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: begin this, what was your thoughts on the Ben Arbuckle
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: being relieved of his duties?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It's a start. We talked about it on Sunday night, Jay,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that we didn't think that there was a high possibility
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: that nothing was going to happen until the end of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the year. And there's a lot that goes into that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: mainly because you don't have a lot of folks on
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: staff that are, I guess, up to speed in the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: calling offense in the SEC or at all. But at
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the same time, I brought up the fact that there's
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a message that needs to be sent, that we've always
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: had a very, very, I guess, deflective response when it
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: came time to the offense from Brent Venables And I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: think by this, it was, okay, we recognize it ain't it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: This ain't it. This isn't that it, right? All the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: kids say he is him. Well, there ain't any– I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: don't know if there is a him on the offense
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: outside of maybe Satania, maybe Beers, but I feel like
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I'm even reaching at that point because if I want
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to compare, and all due respect to Satania and Beers,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: but if I want to compare those guys to– DeeDee
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Westbrook or Ryan Broyles or Landry Jones. Like, none of
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: those guys hold up. So the message was sent, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: that's where I'll start is this told us that whatever
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the end all for what the message actually meant, Brent
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Venables recognizes that he cannot continue to do this under
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that organization, which is what we all wanted to hear.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we wanted to change. Everybody talked about change. We
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: talked about change for weeks. We talked about change since
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the season started. We talked about change like crazy. And
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we got that. And I really liked how Brent Venables
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: put it in his presser yesterday. He basically said, Cliff
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: noting it up, that Ben helped us with improvement in 2025.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We made it to the playoffs. He was a part
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of that. We saw that we won some games in ways,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you know, but, you know, we saw a massive regression
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: going into this season. And that was not what the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: job is. And because of that regression, you know, he
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: realized at this point the change can be made. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: did think it was funny that that this is the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: third time that after a South Carolina game between us
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and South Carolina, somebody got fired. Because Seth Luttrell got
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: fired after South Carolina in 2024. Mike Shula got fired
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: at South Carolina after our game in 2025. And now
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Ben Arbuckle gets fired after South Carolina here in 2026.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: There's just something about Shane Beamer and those South Carolina
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Gamecocks that lead to people getting their jobs lost. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I thought that was funny because, you know, yeah, in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a way, warranted.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Warranted.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You didn't feel like there was any... They felt so
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: disjointed all the way. And we talked about it, right?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It's like the dam broke and the floodgates just started
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to pour, especially on defense because it was like they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: were carrying everything so much. But to that point, Ben's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: gone and we thanked him for his service. Holla, he's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: going to do well wherever he goes. I think if
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he hits the Big 12 or the ACC... I think
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he'd do well. If you go back to the G6,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I think he'd do well. I don't think that he's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a dumb guy. I think he was a stubborn guy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And some people posted on the socials, it did feel
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: like he was trying to ride the material ticket too
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: hard and show that he could make that work. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it's like, nah, dog, you got to show that you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: can adapt. You got to show that you can change
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: when you need to. And it didn't feel like he
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: wanted to do that. So he gone. And then immediately,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: We got Jason Witten as the interim offensive coordinator. What's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on that, Coop?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Okay. Why is Jason Witten the coordinator? And, again, what
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I started off with, there's nobody on the offensive side.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: On the defensive side, the focus, the intent, the strategy,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the scheme, the plan, it all means... Exactly what you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: see that Brent Venables went out and said, not only
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: do I want guys who are great at position coaching,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: but I want them to have some, you know, some
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: some time in the simulator, you know, call and plays
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: on defense so that they understand. So the safeties coach
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Hall is going to understand. what is going on up
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: front so that he can align his safeties appropriately. Same
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: thing with Morgan, same thing with BV and everybody in the,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: you know, the, the 12 people calling on, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: helping out with the linebacker crew. Now on offense, you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: got almost nothing. I think Emma Jones has a little
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: bit of, a little bit of experience around the play
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: call stuff. I don't, you know, obviously Jason Whitten's never
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: called plays in, college or NFL or anything like that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Bill Biedenboe.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: College and high school. All five years there at the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: high school level, but yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: But not in college or NFL, right? And so I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: have two ways that I'm thinking of this. Number one,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you can't hand it over to a dude that you're
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: thinking you're probably about to axe. So for all of
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: us who still want some blood, I never saw it
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: being handed over to Emmett Jones or to Bill Biedenboe because...
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of people who feel like
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: maybe those guys aren't here next year. Fun fact, we
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: don't play South Carolina next year, so hopefully there's no fires.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: But back on subject is you put Jason Witten, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I think that it goes one of two ways, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to see on Saturday and throughout the rest
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of the year. Either Jason Witten said, Brent, what do
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you want to do? You let me know what the
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: grand scheme of things is. and we're going to design
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the offense around that. Or it was Brent coming in going,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: all right, this is what I want to run. Can
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you do that? And Jason Witten saying, yeah, I'll give
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it the best college try. I got in me. Jason
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Witten has played at the ultimate level. He has seen
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: great offenses. He has seen struggling offenses. And being a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: tight end, I think he knows that a lot of
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that starts and ends with the offensive line and the quarterback. Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And so I feel good about that. With all that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: being said, Jay, I'm on kind of wait and see
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: on this one because I'm not 100% sure what it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: going to look like. But if you've got just an
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: absolute cluster top to bottom on your offense, why not
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: give an opportunity to somebody and say, hey, listen, maybe
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: getting away from anything that we were trying to do
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: is the route that we need to go. How's John
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: going to handle that? How's this offense going to handle that?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: That's going to be the million dollar question.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's to be the, that is the million dollar
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: question is wondering exactly how everybody handles this entire setup
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or whatnot. But what I thought was interesting in this,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I kind of talked about it before over locked on,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: we went live and I was really been thinking about this.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I did think it was intriguing that of all the people,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Jason Witten was the one that got it. Um, Emmitt
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Jones was an interim head coach at Kansas back in
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the day, right? Bill Beaton-Bowe's been a co-offensive coordinator for years,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and he's been here for years, running a similar system
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: as to what Arbuckle has ran. Kevin Wilson has not
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: only called plays and all that, and everybody's wondering how
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: come Jason Witten ended up picking it, getting it. Your
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: theory is interesting, though, Coop, because to me it would
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: have been you have them– I would have thunk that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the people that you plan on letting go so that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you can bring in an offensive coordinator, you would have
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: them calling plays. And then the season's in, he's like,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: all right, we're going to go ahead and move on. Like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: this is your audition for your job. Show me that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you're going to do it and then move on. But
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that's not, I don't think that was the thought process
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: behind that. But it sounds like even B.B. kind of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: said it, went and kind of jumped up and said,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I want this, just give it to me. And he,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: him and Kevin Wilson are going to work closely together
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: with it. But, I've had somebody in my mentions say
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that I guess it was on maybe the Sports Animal
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: or something like that, that they had mentioned that Kevin
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Wilson was definitely interested. And everything I've heard from everybody
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: else has been that Kevin Wilson has zero interest in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: calling plays again. Like, that is not why he came here.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He probably could have gotten an offensive coordinator job somewhere
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: easily because he does have a reputation. I mean, he
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: was at Ohio State and did really good there with Urban.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't sound like he has interest in doing
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that anymore. It sounds like the advanced scouting and the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: helping with all of that is something he's way more
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: interested in. And he feels like he's... He may feel
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: like he ain't got his fastball anymore. There's a lot
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of different reasons why he probably didn't want to take it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But I did feel like it was interesting that Witten
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: is the one. And to me... I am intrigued by
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: how he calls the plays and what formations he focuses on.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Because I do feel like he's going to be a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: 12 personnel kind of guy. I think he's going to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: have them running the ball more. And I think he's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: going to do the one thing that I've been wishing
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and hoping that we would have stopped doing a long
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: time ago. And for some reason, we kept freaking doing it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And I want to throw things at my television every
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: single time I saw it. I hope we stop the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: split zone duos with the tight ends coming across the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: other side. Cause they suck at it. They're God awful
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: at doing that. Why are we having our tight ends
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: pool when they can never get there in time to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: get the block done? It feels like they were confused
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in a lot of that. And I don't even, I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: think it's more so a play call and design. Cause
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to me, if you got two big tight ends like
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Rocky beers and Hayden Hanson, have them go forward. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I think you'll be a lot better off instead of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: having to run around and do this kind of stuff. No,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: motion it. Motion Satania. Motion other guys. You can do
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: pulling with your linemen. They do a great job of that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I don't like split zone with my tight ends because
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: all year long, it's stuck.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: There's a clip out there of Bauer Sharpe. absolutely annihilating
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: guy in the game this past weekend in the Monsoon
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Bowl for Tampa Bay. Like, what we've tried to do
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: from the tight end perspective of putting these guys in motion,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: it just has not worked, and it's just crazy to
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: keep seeing somebody, you know, try the same things. But
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: going back to Wilson, so from what I understand, and listen, like,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to step up here and say right now, like,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: if you're listening to the sports animal, if you're listening
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to OU Insider, Scoop, whatever podcast that you're out there
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: and it's people really just trying to give an assessment
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: of this. I don't think we'll ever fully know. There's
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: going to be notes that are dropped out after the fact.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: But from my understanding is Kevin Wilson did not want it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: It was like, no, don't offer it to me. Now,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I could be absolutely completely wrong and people telling me
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: those things could be absolutely completely wrong. I just don't
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: think that Kevin Wilson wanted it. And I don't know
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: if it is, like you said, does he have the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: fastball anymore? Is it that he's there kind of a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: special assignment to kind of help out with the offensive coordinator?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'm still not sure about all that. But I think
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that it's almost a situation where, like, why would you
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: take a job that seems somewhat doomed for the rest
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: of the year when we talked about this at the
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: beginning of the year? Kevin Wilson's sitting pretty. Right now
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: it's where he can help out with the offense, and
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: he catches a few strays, but he is not the target.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: He is absolutely. So if you come in and you're like,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'll go ahead and do it. Jason
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Witten played in the NFL. That's obviously redundancy at this
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: point saying that, but he played in the NFL. He's
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. This guy's reputation, nothing can happen
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: to this guy's reputation. He is who he is. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I would bet you that there's probably a part of
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Jason Witten that said, nobody else want to do this?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I'll take it. He might have said, bring it, because
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I do have some ideas. He doesn't have to coach
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: up an offense all offseason and do the OC responsibilities
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: anymore at this point. He just has to work a
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: functional offense and get that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And that's it.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you can work a functional offense and
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: just do something that makes sense, I think that there's
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: a chance for success because the rest of the way
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: this year, it is just avoid mistakes by every offense
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that we watch during an OU game, their offense, our offense,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: avoid mistakes. Because if you're playing against our defense, avoid mistakes.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: You wait for offense to make the mistake and then
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you take advantage of the opportunity with our offense. Hey,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: let's just avoid mistakes. But I also think that like,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: there's some simplification that you can do and say, hey, listen,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: we just ran the ball for eight yards on first down.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I think we hand the ball off again. And that's
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: just a simple, intuitive decision that's made. Don't get cute.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Don't play. You know what? When you take a deep
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: shot on second and two is when you have a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: functional offense. If you have an offense that's doing everything
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: to stay on the field, just run the damn ball again.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Run it a third time. And if you're in great
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: plus position, run it a fourth time. And at the
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: end of the day– Maybe run it a fifth time.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Why not? Yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Just run it. Just run the ball.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Just run it. I mean, if you're moving people and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: if you catch something, that's the thing about offense. Everybody
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: on here has played the video games, right? Yeah. When
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you're running these offenses, even when you're in a video game,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's not like you can just go out there and
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: vomit deep every single dadgum play or run HB dive
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: every single play. You've got to get into some rhythm
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and you've got to have some things that make sense.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: And if you're dropping back to try to throw a bomb,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you know, at your own one yard line, that's not
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: going to work out. And so I think with Jason
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: is he can come in here and he can go,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: all right, so how do we simplify and just take
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: away a lot of the confusion and just try to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: get through to tomorrow? And I, you know, like I said, Jason,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: a willing blocker, someone's going to put his nose in.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: He's a guy who, you know, what was the clip
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: of him running without his helmet on down the sideline
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: in an NFL game, knowing that somebody could come over
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and clock him in the ear with the crown of
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the helmet and end his career. But that's just the
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: type of dude he is. He is a tough as
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: nails type of a guy. And if I'm him, I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: looking at it and I'm like, I think that we
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: have a path to success. It's pretty skinny, but I
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: think that I would rather him go out there and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: run an offense that looks like it makes sense and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: be unsuccessful than than running one that doesn't make sense
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and being unsuccessful.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be simplified where we just go
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: out there and just run through somebody's face. Like, it's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: just going to be physical. Like, that is what you want.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I know that's what BV has wanted. His defense plays
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: that way. They play fast and they play physical, right?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: That is basically the mantra of the Brent Venables defense.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And that's what I'm hoping Witten decides to go with. Hey, man,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: just go out there and just push people around. Y'all
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: got the ability. We've seen y'all do it. We've seen
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: y'all in the weight room. We've seen y'all get the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: right angles. Now it's all about just pushing forward. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: like I said, simplifying the offense. I mean, you can
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: run similar plays, but at the same time, we'll get
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to this in just a minute. winton's gonna have his
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: hands full and really getting everybody motivated i think the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: one thing that bothered me the most well the second
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: most the number one most is just ben's unwillingness to
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: adapt and change and leave him material in this entire
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: time when there was moments you should have went ahead
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and pulled him and gave him a minute to at
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: least sit down but the the rotations at running back
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: shout out to marco murray guess we can't really blame
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: him for that now right sounds like it's not him
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: huh Yeah, the rotations at running back, some of these
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: weird rotations at wide receiver. There were so many different
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: things that made me be like, hey, dog, what are
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: we doing? And I'm hoping we can allow some backs
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to get rhythms and let them do their thing. To me,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you do that, you should be good to go. That
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: is going to be the biggest change that I'm hoping
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to see going into this game against Florida. Besides that, though, Coop,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: we've got to talk about this one thing that needs
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to be changed. Probably at quarterback. Brent Venables, of course,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: addressed it. Makes us all have questions on it. Let's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Before we do that, before we continue,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: shout out to our partners here at PrizePicks. If there's
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: any sponsor of the channel, we're going to make some

• 20:21
  Speaker 1: some Maxie on the more. Definitely, I'll take, don't want
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to take Luka. I'll take Luka on the less than
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the points, rebounds, assists. I'm definitely going to get some
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Shea action in here at 32 plus points. Think he'll
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: keep that going against the Cavs. Pick two or more players.

• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Give us five stars. Now, there's one thing we do
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: need to change, though, Coop. We talked about this. John Mateer. So, Monday,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I think it was after practice, they had some chitty
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: chat or whatnot with BV and everybody asked him to play. Like,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: all right, what you doing at quarterback? And he told everybody,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I ain't talking about depth chart today. The locker room
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: believes in John. And I was like, oh, no. Oh no,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: where is it? Let me throw something. Let me break something.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and punt something. Because I'm like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: oh hell no. This better not be the answer you're
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: going to give us going forward. B.B. cleaned it up.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Talked about it on his, on the presser yesterday. He
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: came out and said that everything's on the table. Quarterback
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: position is on the table. Now the locker room is
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: still rallying behind John, but the young players, and it
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: sounds like they've been taking reps in practice as well.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: So if they do start John, I won't be upset
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: because that means that Jason Witten signed off on that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: That's if he does start. If he doesn't start, I
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: also won't be upset because that means Jason Witten signed
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: off on it. Everything's on the table. That's what matters.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I just needed to get a second confirmation here that
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it only makes sense to keep doing this. Now, granted,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: John typically plays better on the road. So it feels
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: like he plays better when he's not being booed at
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the crib. He plays better when he's booed on the road.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: It's the weirdest phenomenon, but here we are. I'm cool
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: with that. Whatever Jason chooses, I'm cool with. But also
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the last thing on this is BV also said everything's
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: on the table. What would it take for you, Coop,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: for Jason Witten to just take this job over going forward?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. I was hoping that you would
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: be like.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. What would have to happen, I
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: don't believe, is in the realm of possibility.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Because the offensive line, is things need to change. A
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: lot of things need to change. I think that their
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: skill there, I don't think that they're playing for, they're
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: not reaching their potential. And as a head coach, you
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: can recruit a one-star, a zero-star, a five-star, you know, whatever.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: You got to get the best out of your players.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: And we're not getting that. And the offensive line is
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: starting to look like defensive backs under Bobby Jack Wright.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Like it's starting to look the old school defensive backs
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: to where we saw a freshman come out. You know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: we couldn't stop anybody, you know, from the passing attack
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: at all. Defensive backs getting burned left or right, going
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: all over the place. And then you bring in a freshman.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I remember Jordan Thomas comes in and you're like, okay,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: we're going to throw a freshman out there. And all
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of a sudden he could cover, you know, more than
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: one different route. And you're like, well, what the hell? Like,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: this guy's really, really good all of a sudden. You
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: go through the year and you're like, this is awesome.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: And the next year he comes out and you're like,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: dude forgot how to play. That's how the offensive line
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: feels right now. So that's my number one problem. Number
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: two is I still don't know what the hell John's doing.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know if John knows what he's doing.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think he knows what he's doing.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I think he is what he is, which is my point.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: He is what he is. He knows what he's doing.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: He is what he is. And I, and that has
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: been the issue I had with Ben with this is
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that you've been knowing this dude for years. You know
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: what the heck he is. Put him in situations where
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he can be successful. Put him in situations where he
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: can be at his strength. And it didn't feel like
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: he was collaborating with his staff to do that. If
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you're subbing out running backs every 35 seconds.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: No. And, So because I don't believe that John can
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden turn into an accurate passer, a
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: great decision maker, someone who's willing to throw the ball
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: how it was designed to go, there's no pathway for
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Jason Witten to be able to do this in a
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: manner to where you can legitimately say, I am willing
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to trust the future of this offense, and Brent Venable
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: is the future of his tenure here, into Jason Witten.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: And that has nothing to do with Jason Witten. Jason
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Witten can do everything. It's just the same thing, Jay.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: If I say, Jay, you and I are going to
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: go dig a pool in my backyard and I pull
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: up a couple of plastic spoons, we don't have the
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: tools to do the job. Therefore, we're not going to
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: do a great job.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, that's a fair point. We would probably stink
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: at it. I'm really good at digging. I'm good at
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: breaking stuff. So, I mean, technically... Breaking the ground is
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: kind of a good thing, right? I mean, I might
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: break some concrete, may break a couple water lines, may
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: break a sprinkler line, may break a gas line, and
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: we all, you know, get sick from it. But hey,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: something will be broken. That is what I'm good at doing.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: But no, to me, it's, they see these dudes in
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: practice and how they handle some of this stuff. That
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is basically the only thing that I can say. And
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that is where, and that, and honestly, that is the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: damning thing behind all of this because the players even say,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: this is why the players rather rely on him in
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the locker room. They're just like, this is not what
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: we see in practice. It hasn't, it isn't what we
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: ever see in practice. It's just, it's the weirdest. Peyton
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Bowen said it before, before the Texas game. He's like,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. This is, this is not what we
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: be seeing. It's just the weirdest thing at the Georgia.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: He's like, I don't get it. Most of them don't,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: but don't matter. We'll find out who the quarterback is
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: when we get to Florida. And I'm fine with that.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I have zero reason to even care past that. But
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: what I am curious about, though, is I want to
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: see how Witten uses all the other weapons on the team.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Going to Florida, the most important thing here is Florida
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: does give up a lot on the pass, but they
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: do give up on the run, too. And you'll have
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to find holes, break holes, and actually get
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: some rushing yards. That is, to me, the most important
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: thing for this game is, one, we've got to stop
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Jayden Bob from doing anything. And the second thing is
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: we need to make sure that we start to establish
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: our run. That is your only opportunity to win this game.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: You've got to run the ball. Florida's defense ain't that great. Like,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I've got their advanced metrics pulled up. I'll post them
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: in a minute because that's the thing I was looking
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: at with them is like, man, we could probably make
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: some things happen in this game if we get our
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: heads out of our behind. Because Florida's defense ain't that great.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: No, they play undisciplined. They get out of the way.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: They get in their own way as much as our
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: offense does. They do, yeah. Now, that doesn't mean that
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: we're going to go out there. When you play an
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: offense like that, that doesn't mean that you're going out
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: there and dropping a Lenora Sellers on Florida this week.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: That's not what I'm talking about. With this offense, in
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: a team that wants to let you find the crease,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: wants to let you take advantage of their mistakes, you
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: have to be pretty consistent with yourself and and take
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the opportunity when it's there. So when a guy is
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: running wide open, there ain't going to be no fans
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: to yell at Mateer to let him know.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: He's wide open.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Get him. It's not going to happen. So the offense
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: just needs to go out there. Don't make the mistakes, right?
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Don't be silly. Like, yes, I do enjoy watching a
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: guy fight for extra yards, but understand that those extra
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: two yards in the middle of the field– you know,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the positive on that does not outweigh the potential negative
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to hop up over a dude that's
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: not squatted down and fumble the ball on the sideline.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Like you can't do those types of things. But whether
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: it's Mateer or Whit Newbauer or, you know, Bo Bentley,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: whoever ends up playing the quarterback position here is I
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: agree with you. It is let's get the ball to
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: the playmakers. Let's get the ball in the playmakers hands.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: You can design, you know, even with this offensive line,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: you can still design stuff, but it, you know, I'm
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: hoping that we see a, an offense that is going
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: to come out and say, okay, me as a wide receiver, uh,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: they're going to throw a screen behind me to Satania
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: and I need to block my ass off. Uh, me
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: as a tight end, we are going to be running
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: an inside zone and I have a certain place to
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: be in a certain person to get to, and I
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: need to get to them hell or high water. And
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: we need to see those playmakers in the support team,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the support crew do their job because when it's your
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: turn to catch a ball, catch it. When it's your
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: turn to block block and, and, I just absolutely hope
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: that you are able to go out and do that stuff.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Florida is going to give you the opportunity to turn
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: four yards into 40. They're going to give you that opportunity.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: If you just get out of your way, you can
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: take advantage of it. Yeah.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. And so for me, when
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: it comes to answer the question, and let me preface
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: this and be clear. I want Jason Witten back next year.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I've been very happy with him as tight end coach.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I have been satisfied with him getting some things. Cause
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I don't really blame the tight ends on a lot
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: of the mistakes they've made this season. Cause to me,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of outside of the Rocky beers hurdle and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: fumble against Mississippi state dogs. You just got to stop
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: being silly, man. You weren't close enough. You were in
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a crowd of people. You hurdle people when you ain't
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: in a crowd, you don't hurdle people when you've got
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: four other defenders around you and two of your teammates, right?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: You know, But that's another conversation for another day. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: am very much satisfied with how the tight ends have
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: played this season. I don't care how many points he
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: puts up in these next four games. I don't care
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: if he averages 50 a game. I don't want him
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: to be the offensive coordinator next year. I want him
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to go and do a search and bring in someone experienced.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I want him to stay on the staff because if
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: you get somebody good, You get somebody good at OC,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: they're gone in two years. They're going to get a
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: head coaching job. Unless you get Chip Kelly. And then
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: he's gone in two years because he's going to take
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: another job. That's just what Chip Kelly does. He moves
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: around a lot. He doesn't get comfortable in too many places.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Or he just wears out his welcome very quickly. Most
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: likely who you get is going to end up taking
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: a head coaching job if they come in here and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: turn this offense around in one to two years. They
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: will get another job. That's how it works. Especially when
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: you have a defensive-minded coach. That's the game. With that
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: being said, I hope Jason goes out there and put
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: up a whole bunch of numbers. I hope he gets
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: his 30 a game. If he gets his 30 a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: game with just offense, I am satisfied and I want
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: him to be in line to be offensive coordinator after
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: we make a change. I just don't want it to
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: be immediately. I don't want to go back into the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: inexperience pool like that. Even though that is where most
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of your success comes from, prefer not to. Because when
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I look at this game against Florida, put up the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: advanced numbers, built me a little website where I can
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: make these little graphics and stuff. I'm pretty excited about it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to be doing this like all the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: time because y'all know I'm a nerd when it comes
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to this. So looking at this, this is like the
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: just raw numbers for us versus Florida. Our offense, their
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: offense versus our defense, they're both rated in about the
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: same area in the, you know, in the middle of
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the pack. Most of our defense is rated pretty high.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: We're still six in XP +. We're 12th in FPI
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: and the efficiency and everything. We're still rated pretty well
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: overall on defense, even with the stinker last week, which, again,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: we felt like was they just, the dam broke because
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: they were doing all the work. But on the opposite side,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: their defense is just as bad as their offense. Points
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: per game, they give up 28 a game. We only
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: get 22, but they give up 28. They don't. The
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: total yards, they're giving up almost 400 a game, right?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: They're giving up 230-something passing, roughly what we give up,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: which is low for them. They'll give up 130 rushing, right?
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: We ain't getting anywhere near that. But the opportunity is there.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Their third down percentage is awful. They're tied for 119th
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: in third down percentage right there. It's just bad. They
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: are a team that you can get something on. And
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: when you look at the advanced metrics, about uh with
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: them they they're not they will they will make it
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: easy for you to be able to uh get some
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: some yards so for us this is jason whitton's perfect
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: opportunity now the tough part is is that you are
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: at the swamp so you're going to have a be
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: around a hostile fan base because they're not awful they're
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: just not as good as they should have been And
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: they're 5-3. They were taking some tail whippings and their losses.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: And their fan base is kind of like now lukewarm.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I even haven't heard the best feelings about Faulkner right
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: now in that area. So, that being said, things are
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: a little stinky. There's an opportunity to get out there
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: and get an upset.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's blood in the water. Everybody sees it
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: does not matter that OU is at the record that
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: they're at right now. It's still Oklahoma. And so from
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: a Florida fan perspective is they've seen competent offense and
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: they've seen adequate defense. And if you can put those
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: two things together in a day, you're going to beat
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: a team like Oklahoma who's coming in with a stellar
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: defense and just a conundrum on offense. So the fans
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: are going to be juiced up. That defense, as bad
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: as they are, they play like psychos. You saw it
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: in the Texas game. The offense just had a couple holes,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: and the defense took advantage of it. Arch turned the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: ball over, and you ended up with them winning that game.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: But outside of that, they are 1-3 in their last
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: four games. And you've got Missouri. They give up 45.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, 38. Nothing to, you know, shake a fist
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: at there. And then Georgia, 27-8. They score, you know,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter when it doesn't matter. And you
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: know Kirby Smart could probably have 50 if he wanted to.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: That being said, they've got Kentucky following up right after us.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: So they know that they've got to get this win
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: and they get bowl eligible. And then they can take
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: on Kentucky, Vandy, Florida State after the fact. But This
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: crew is going to come out here, and if our
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: offense does struggle at certain things, Florida's defense, there's a
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: lot of guys that are going to end up in
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: the NFL there. They're not going to have top five
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: draft picks up and down the defensive side, but they're
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: still the same freaks of nature that Florida's been getting
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: year after year that ends up having one or two
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: guys that make the NFL and are big boys in
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: the NFL. You have to, you have to, have to,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: have to just understand that there's going to be a
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: motion right out the gate. And if you can withstand
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: that and get to the, you know, toward the back
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: half of the first quarter, I think a lot of
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: things are on the table. But I promise you this too,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: as inconsistent as they are, if you let them get
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: out in front of us, you know, nobody feels really
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: comfortable that this OU offense is going to be able
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: to chase down, you know, a big deficit. But if
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: you let them get out, then all of a sudden
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: they're going to be playing with house money and they're
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: going to try to run away.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So your job is to not let them just
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: run it fully down your throat, but you need to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: find a way to get some runs in their face.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: It ain't going to be easy, but it's going to
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: be a fun weekend for all of us. Let's put
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: it that way. Because we get to see something new.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: That is the most important thing for me is to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: see something new. That was literally all I cared about
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: going into this. But with that being said, I do
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: want to talk about when we start the shopping process,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: looking at future offensive coordinators. I got my list up.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I've already built my third version of my big list,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: my big board. We can talk about it. Shout out Mr.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Dilly Yab. As long as John mentally broke mid-tier, doesn't
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: have their hair booze, calls for a little CB fired,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Whit replaced him. He isn't capable of finding an open
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: wide receiver well without fans' help. I mean, he did
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: against Mississippi State. I think he was just fine there. So, yeah,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: that kind of hurts that argument. Again, he seems to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: play a little bit better on the road where he
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: seems to concentrate, even though he does miss people open.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I blame his offensive coordinator for not scheming it and
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: telling him where to throw the ball. That, to me,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: if you know the dude, why would you call plays
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: like that? But we saw him hit Rocky Beard. He
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: changed the play against Mississippi State, hit Rocky Beard across
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the middle for a touchdown. He ran the play against
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Michigan for McKenzie Alleyne. He does. Blind squirrel does find
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the nut, but I will say this. Jason Witten sees
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: these dudes in practice, and hopefully he makes a decision
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: based upon who the hell practiced the best.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Well, And I'll say this, John, people do what they're
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: coached to do. or what they're allowed to do coached
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: to do or allowed to do so let that sink
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: in for a second we've seen for a year and
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: a half the same nonsense from john and i don't
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: know if there was a there was a loyalty issue, like, hey,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I followed you here, like, you promised me, X, Y, Z,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: whatever it ends up being. But I can say this.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: When you have a coach who comes in and takes
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: over a bunch of other dudes' players, he doesn't have
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: an issue going, okay, I understand that you have been
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: the guy, but I'm going to make this guy the guy.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: And you don't have a tie. You don't have promises.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: You don't have any of that stuff. So our friend,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: and appreciate again for the $ 10 here, is, yeah, John,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: we're sick of seeing the same nonsense. But on the road,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: John does have a little bit, I don't know if
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: it's just he gets a me-against-the-world feel on the road
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: and there's no hurt feelings, whereas at home, it's just
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: the most awkward situation ever. But whatever needs to happen,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: whether it's Whit Neubauer standing back there like in an
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: immovable building and he can't move around. I just want
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: to see someone who can anticipate a throw and throw
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: to a spot and do what the OC is asking
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: them to do. And if John can do what Jason
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Witten is going to go ask him to do, I'm
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: okay with John. If he can't, then you bring in
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: somebody else who can do that. And you've brought it
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: up for a year and a half here, Jay, that
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: some of these OCs, Josh Heupel, they will go out
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: there and they'll say, Lane Kiffin, This is what you're
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: going to see. This is where I want you to
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: throw it. You know, you got until 15 seconds in
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: the clock when it goes down that you can communicate
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: some stuff. There are multiple times that I know Ben
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Arbuckle has been yelling and trying to get John's attention
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: for stuff. You just got to do it. I mean,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: it is with John. I will say the same thing
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: as I say to my children, like. If you don't
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: do it, it's either because you have chosen to be
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: disobedient or you don't possess the intelligence to do what
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I asked you to do. And I'm not too sure
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: which one it is with John, unfortunately. But he's gotten
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: away with so much for so long that I still
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: think that he still thinks that he's just one snippet
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: away from doing the right thing. Maybe. Maybe. Regardless, Jay,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: if John can't go out there and run what's called
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: and if you're holding the ball and not letting it loose,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: you know what? If John goes out and he throws
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: an interception where he sees single high coverage, he somehow
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: looks off the safety, and he gives his guy a
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: one-on-one opportunity, and the guy makes a great play and
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: intercepts the ball, I'm okay. I'm okay with that. But
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: what I don't want to see is him– looking at
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: a guy like he did against Parker Livingston against Georgia,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Parker's wide open, and he just has to have the
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: cojones to let it rip. Because if he lets it
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: rip with anywhere of a decent pass, Livingston's open. And
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Livingston is right now being ridiculed by Texas fans, OU fans,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: as why did we give this guy money because he's garbage.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's necessarily as bad as everybody's saying
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: because when I've watched the 22, there's a lot of
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Parker Livingston running around by himself.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Yep. Hanging out. And it, I think it's play call.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's play call. I think it's, I think
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: it's the, the issue I've had with Ben is he
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: likes to go, he tries to get cute with a
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff and that's a problem. That's not going
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: to work whatsoever. Uh, official house money. Thanks for the
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: two bucks. Know that major right hit on Johnson on
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: a loop. Got it boss. Sooner Legend, thanks for the $ 10,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: my guy. Check out Sooner Legend's podcast. My guy, Mike,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. But to me, to go with that, Coop, like,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to, this will be my last thing
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: on it. I'm just ready to see what Witten wants
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: to do. And I saw on Oklahoma Breakdown, Teddy was
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: talking about sit with your quarterbacks, see what they're comfortable with.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Focus on that, right? All of them. And see what
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: the competition looks like in practice. I've seen Witt play
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: against Alabama. I saw he looks cool. Looked good during
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: the garbage time of the game. Awesome. He's been here
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: for two years. He's been here two off seasons. They
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: know what they got. They know what they got. And
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: so if he plays, then they felt like he's ready
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: for it. If he doesn't, it's probably because they feel
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: like he ain't ready for it. Just keep that in mind.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: He's been here for a bit. They've watched him in
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: practice every single week. Spring ball, everything. They know what
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: they've got. Same thing with Bo Bentley. This is Bo's first.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: They know what they got. So I'm going to let
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Jason Witten decide on who's going to actually be able
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: to make plays and make things happen. But I do
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: want to go over my big board. I have been
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: looking at some of these coaches. I did my first
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: version right after I fired him because I had a
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: feeling it was going to happen. Started putting some stuff together.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Filled my first one. Now I'm on my third one.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: As I've been adding and removing people and I have
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: a dark horse. Actually, I got two. One is more
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: so because I think it'll be interesting if they... It
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: will be a fascinating sequence to lead to this moment, Coop.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Very fascinating sequence. I want to talk about that. Plus,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about who my real dark horse is.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all, of course, for pulling up. Hit the like button.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: If you're new to the channel, subscribe, rate, review, give
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: us five stars. And this is my big board right now.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: This is version three. I will add a, I have
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: a V4 probably on Sunday or V5 by then. Depends
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: on how I'm feeling and whatnot. But this is V3
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: for me. Big names you have on the board. You
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: got Robbie Zell over there at Wake Forest. If you
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: don't know Robbie Zell, he's the one that does the
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: impersonations of Nick Saban, that Nick Saban actually laughed at.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: He played at Alabama, quarterback wide receiver. He's a funny dude.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Joe Craddock, who I know interviewed for the job, In
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: the last cycle, it's him and Buster Faulkner. I have
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: them both on there. I got Buster Faulkner on there
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: because hearing rumors things ain't sunny over there in Florida
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: right now, even though they're winning, ain't sunny. Slade Nagel,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: the OC at Houston. Think he'll be tough to pull
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: because he is a Willie Fritz guy and he's been
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: with him at Tulane and now Houston over these last
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: 10 years, roughly, or nine of the last 10. Barry
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Looney over there at Illinois. And as you can see,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: you can tell who has the most stats and all
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: of that in comparison to each other. Chip Kelly, of course,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: is on my list. Andy Kolonecki up there at Kansas.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Liked what he did at Kansas. Didn't like what he
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: did at Penn State, but I think that that was
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: more of a James Franklin problem and not a Kolonecki problem.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Kay Bell at Pittsburgh. Chris Reister over there at Toledo.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Him and his QB are putting in work. They're doing
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: a very good job over there. Kevin Decker at Memphis,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't follow Charlie Huff to another job, because
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I think Huff is going to get hired somewhere, or
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: he ends up sticking there at Memphis. My dark horse,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: name out of nowhere that I'm really intrigued with, that
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I think would be a good option, Coop. David Shaw,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: former head coach at Stanford. He works for the Detroit
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Lions now. on their offense. He's been there for a
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: couple years. So he's working in the NFL, shockingly, because
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the NFL's been trying to get him to be a
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: head coach there for years, and he refused to do it.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Decided to go in there and do the, he works,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: like I said, for the Lions. And then, of course,
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, not the air raid version of him, the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: NFL version where he runs the ball a lot is
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: an extremely fascinating pickup. So, Coop, have you been thinking
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: about coaches so far?
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and my preface is we are going to hit
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: the end of the season. Job shuffling is going to happen.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: And so some names on here are going to get
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: taken away. But I know for a fact that OU
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: has been fielding a lot of calls to this point
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: about the OC job. There are a lot of people
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: who are interested because it's a given. If you can
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: come in and work under Brent Venable's, you know that
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: your defense is going to be legitimate. You have yourself
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: a good offense, you're getting a job. You've talked about it.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: You have a good offensive coordinator. I think that you
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: got two or three years of that person. Two years
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: if it's good. Three years if maybe the first year
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: starts a little bit slower. But, you know, my caveat
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: on there, Jay, is it can't be much slower than
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: what we've seen around here. So a slow offense for
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: a normal team is probably a really good upgrade for us. Yeah.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I like you, Zell. Chip Kelly is one that I've
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: thrown out the neck brace. I've thrown out Chip Kelly
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: you know, up to this point because, you know, as
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: a joke, you know, weeks ago. But now I'm like,
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: I really like Colton Necky. I have some concerns because
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: I have seen when he's got a good quarterback, it's elite.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: And when the quarterback is struggling, you know, It hasn't
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: looked super elite, but they've scored, I mean, obviously more
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: points than what we've seen around here. And then Kate Bell.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, those are my four that I think are
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: great options there. David Shaw is one that when you
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: said that, that's one that I don't think would be
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: super sexy for a lot of people until you start
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: pointing out the fact that he works with the Detroit
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Lions offense. Um, just, you know, just that's a, that's a,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: that's a very, very sexy feeling right there because if
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: you can tend to think like Jared Goff is who
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: he is, right. Uh, you know, number one pick out
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: of Cal, um, you know, he gets traded at, you know,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: for Stafford, you feel like, you know, maybe they got
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: fleeced on that deal. Jared Goff's done. I mean, Jared
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Goff's my starter on three of my fantasy teams. Like
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: he is a guy who I think a lot of
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: people Um, didn't expect this much out of, but he's
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: got some great weapons around him. You got Jameer Gibbs,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: you got Amon Ross, St. Brown, Jameson Williams, uh, LaPorta.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: You got a pretty good offensive line. Um, that would
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: be a, that'd be something a lot of people might,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: you know, find interesting here at OU.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it is. And I see some of y'all's
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: questions about some of the people that I've selected. Let
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: me go ahead and answer those real quick. Um, No,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Mike Norvell, absolutely not. Have zero interest in Mike Norvell
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: after all the stuff that's happened there at Florida State.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: I have not heard good things about him on the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: recruiting side there. And no, no, no, no. Let that
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: man go figure out what he's going to do with himself.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I'll let him figure out his life. Let me see. Kai,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I saw what you mentioned in here about G.J. Kinney. G.J. Kinney. Yeah, G.J. Kinney.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to leave a head coaching
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: job to come here to make maybe $ 100, 000 more. Doesn't
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: make any sense, especially because heard he's in the front
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: running for one of those Texas jobs that are opening up.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: You got Baylor right now. I expect TCU to come
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: open as well at the end of the season. He's
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: going to be in high demand. Going to be hard
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: to get him when he can go get a head
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: coaching job. That's why he's not on my list. Bobby
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Petrino is an interesting one. I have been thinking about that.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I am curious to how that goes there at North Carolina.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Would it be worth it? That one is an intriguing one.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: for me uh there yeah gj makes only two mil
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: you'd have to pay him the highest oc right now
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: makes 2.2 so you pay him 2.3 and then he
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: gets a head coaching job to make six i think
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: he's taking a head coaching job because he's already a
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: head coach why would you come here to be an
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: oc to go be a head coach when you could
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: be a head coach like you're already a head coach
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: I would understand if he wasn't there at Texas State
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: and everybody's watching him. If he wasn't at Texas State
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: and he has all these eyes in that state looking
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: at him, totally would see about it. I don't see
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: him leaving a head coaching job to come here. To
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: be an OC when he's going to get a head
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: coaching job somewhere else. People don't just leave head coaching
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: jobs at that age. He's early. He is like mid
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: to late 30s. If this was like Chip Kelly's day,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: like a 45, 55-year-old dude, something like Gus Malzahn did,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I'd totally say yeah. They did it because they were
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: tired of dealing with being all the work of a
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: head coach. He's like, I just want to coach one
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. G.J. wants to be a head coach.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Don't see him leaving because he's also being successful. So
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: he's not going to leave that job. I 100% would
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: take the bet on him not leaving that job for
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: a coordinator job. when he can be a head coach.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: He is 100% getting another head coaching job if he
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: wants it. So, not gonna waste my time with that one.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: But Petrino is interesting. I'm curious what things are gonna
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: happen there at North Carolina. Now, Robby Zell was a
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: very interesting one to me right now, Coop, because a
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: very funny thing could happen with the Robby Zell situation.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Let me explain. So, right now, because Florida State fired Norvell,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: On their top of their list, Manny Diaz at Duke
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: is on their list. And Jake Dickard is also high
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: on their list. Dickard is the head coach over at
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Wake Forest, where Robby Zell is at. Found out that
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: the coaches at Wake Forest, the assistant coaches, that is,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: all have a clause in their contract, a non-compete, that
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: if they go to another ACC school, they got to
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: sit out for a year. So that, to me, means
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: if Dicker takes the job at Florida State, nobody's following him.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: But Coop, who was his offensive coordinator before he took
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: the Wake Forest job?
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. Bad podcasting. Give me the answer.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Ben Arbuckle. He was his offensive coordinator at Washington State.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: So if he goes to Florida State, brings Ben Arbuckle
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: with him, which means two quarterback recruits that are there
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: that left because of Ben could be available.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: One.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: Two, Robbie Zell is going to be homeless for the
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: most part unless he gets the Wake Forest job as
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: a head coach. My point is that's an option. I
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: think that would be a very funny development if something
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: like that happened, that Ben ends up at– Ben ends
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: up there at Florida State with Dickert.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Well, and with Jaden O'Neal.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Jaden O'Neal and Kevin Sperry.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: And Kevin Sperry.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: Neither one of them will be there. I'm just going
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: to say that now.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so here's a couple things because I'm seeing in
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: the chat here. Watkins, I'm with you. Like, if we
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: lose out on a Buster Faulkner situation again over $ 200, 000, $ 300, 000, like,
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: I will be pissed. Do we ever find that one
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: out a hundred percent? No, we don't. But you pay whoever, whatever,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever we need to do to get this situation.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I do think that Bill Biedenboe is probably going to,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a situation where we fire Bill
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Biedenboe and cast him into the sun. I think it's
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: a situation where he may retire and be an assistant
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: grad assistant or not a grad assistant, but like a,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: you know, a special assistant type of a deal. I
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: think he'll have a place temporarily, if nothing else, with
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: the university. We talked about this before. Fix the damn team, Jay.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: I don't care who stays and who goes. I am
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: at that spot personally that if you can get a
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: functional offense in here and that OC says, I have
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: every single position coach coming with me, I want to
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: bring them non-negotiable, do it. I don't care. There's not
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: one recruit that we have right now that should delay
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: any of that nonsense. Now, that being said, I bet
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: you there's a lot of people who are like, I'll
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: work with Jason Witten, and I bet you there's a
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: lot of people who are like, yeah, I saw what
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: the draft just showed up there, which Darren Price and Jeremiah, yeah,
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with that too. Now, as far as Emma Jones,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming that if he is employed still by the
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: end of the first game, At the end of the
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: last game this season, I would be very, very surprised.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the OC needs to have carte blanche, do
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: whatever they want to do. If we're going to bring
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: him in, let's do it the right way. I am
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: not okay with saying, hey, listen, putting a mandate out
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: there and say you can bring anybody besides your tight
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: end and running backs coach because we want to keep
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: what we have going on here. Like I am. And
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that's going to play out at
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: the end of the year. And I'm not going to
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: borrow worry from tomorrow and freak out about that at
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: this point. But there are so many different things that
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: are appealing. So, you know, going back to Shaw, David
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Shaw was he was a tight end using mofo at Stanford.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: He really was. And I love that.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: They still, they still, and look at, look at Detroit.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Detroit's running out there, all these tight ends. I mean,
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Laporta is the ring leader, but then you've got to
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: slaw who's, you know, a receiver. And then you've got
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: other tight ends are out there. You know, they're running
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: three tight end sets. I was watching a Stanford game
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: earlier this year. They ran four tight ends out there,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: two guys out and pass, pass routes. And I'm pretty
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: sure there was a five tight end set. So like,
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: He changed Stanford football for the longest time, and it's
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: still out there. Also being a black dude, that has
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: a big part to play too. But one of the
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: biggest deals with him is, hey, we've got a GM
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: and we've got a crew that can help take away
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: some of the recruiting stuff. Whatever you want to do,
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: there is a lot to that. Now, we're not the
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: only program with that, so everybody else is going to
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: have that to offer too. But that's why an NFL
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: guy might come back down to the college ranks to
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: coach and to go do those things. Um, that being said, yeah,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've got, um, there, there's so many good
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: names here. I'm assuming that there's probably a list in
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: the 50 range of people who, uh, who are gathering information,
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: seeing what's out there, doing those types of things. It
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter because you know that the university has a...
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: If you're thinking appropriately, the university goes, this is probably
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: going to be something if we don't get right, it
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: could be four years before we're back to a spot
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: where we want to be. And That's very expensive to do.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: So you give everybody what the money that you're... Now, obviously,
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: you don't want to give a million more than anybody
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: else is offering, but you be super, super competitive, and
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: you get people in here. But, Jay, lastly, where's BritVitables from? Kansas.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: So I would watch Koltanecki. I'm still right there on...
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: He's got that Kansas connection. Just watch Koltanecki because... Revenables
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: knows that he's coached there. He's know that he's recruited
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: in that area. And that's an area that he wants
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: to continue to do a good job in. And he's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: recruited Texas, too. And so I'm pretty I'm pretty, I guess,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: triggered here with the Colton Necky, because I think that
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: that that makes a lot of sense. But there's so
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: many good names on your list.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: So.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: I can probably make.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: He's from the north play ball in Minnesota. Wisconsin is
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: where he played college ball as a center. He's kind
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: of like Levy. But yeah, he's been at Kansas. He
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: was at Kansas for a few years. I think he
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: was in consideration, but he took the Penn State job
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: and it just didn't work out. And what you call
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: it got, you know, James Franklin got fired. Remember, James
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Franklin is also an offensive guy. So that's also something
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: to keep in mind, but this was also a good question.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: J Mark fire asked this one a bit ago. What
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: if we hired an OC and not get any new
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: position coaches? I think that because to me, this is
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: the final opportunity, final chance of hire for Brent Venables,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: whoever he brings it at OC, he's going to let
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: them make the decision because this is it. This is
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: the last one. You have one good hire in your three.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Levy was fantastic. He irked us a lot in a
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: lot of ways, but, But he was also a part
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: of the startup. But Lebby was fantastic. As you continue
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: to rip the studs, Latrell was terrible. Actually, he was awful.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: And Arbuckle was eh. He had a decent season last year,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: but he couldn't get over himself this year. You bring
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: in an OC, you better let them hire who they want.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: You better let them... The only person you could probably
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: say is untouchable would be Whitten. But I don't think...
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: The thing is, he's a tight end coach. So they're...
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: You would want to hang on to him just because
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: of his capabilities as a tight end coach. His name
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: is going to keep him the job. So but another
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: question that was good is the like I get everybody's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the G.J. Kenny. I like him. I don't
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: get it twisted, but I also think he's good, which
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: means he's going to get a head coaching job. Every
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: job that's open right now, the focus point focal point
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: will be an offensive minded coach. I can guarantee that.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: I can guarantee that because that is the fastest turnaround
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: you'll get at any school. If you hire a defensive guy,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: you're on a four-year plan because you got to get
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: the defense up. And an unfortunate thing is you'll probably
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: lose a couple offensive coordinators because other schools are like,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: screw it. I just want quick. Let's get a quick
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: thing going. But that's why you see so many more
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: offensive guys hired than defensive guys because they want quick
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: turnarounds and then the defense suffers. BV's going to have
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: to let this OC bring in whoever the heck they
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: want to make that happen. So I expect whoever the
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: OC come in, he's probably gonna bring an O-line coach
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: with him. Cause they usually bring an O-line coach to
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: work the way they do it. Go look at Kendall
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Browse who did that at South Carolina. He brought a
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Randy Clement with him from TCU over, brought an O-line
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: coach that focuses the way it does things the same
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: as him. Um, The wide receiver spot, I don't know
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: what that's going to look like. That's going to be
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: a big question. But again, the OC should have the
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: ability to make all those decisions. Don't do like you
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: did last time where, yeah, you need to keep it,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: keep everybody. But that was also a good point here
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: by Jesse on the fact that we don't, we not,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: we not, we've already paid the Big 12 back. We
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: actually now getting our full check from the SEC now.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: We get our full check. So we good. We actually
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: back to the funding that we needed to be at
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: because us in Texas took pay cuts to come to
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: the SEC early just so we can get the move
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: over with. Besides that, as we prepare for the injury
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: report to populate, that's going to show up here in
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: about five minutes. So thank y'all for pulling up. Of course,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: hit the like button if you're new to the channel. Subscribe. Rate, review,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: give us five stars. Whomever you hire has to be
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: able to bring, like I said, bring their own people.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: That's going to be the most important thing. And you
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: just ride with whatever they ride with. Like, I don't
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: want to, I don't want to pigeonhole them into anything.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't care. To me, everybody on staff is
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: based upon who they are. It don't matter. Yeah, the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Baylor job is better. Head coaching job is better gig
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: than Oklahoma OC. Yes, it is. A head coaching job
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: where you're going to make three times as much money
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: and you make all the decisions? Absolutely. And Baylor's private,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: so you don't really know what they're making, but I
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: know that they're making. I think Aranda was making at
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: least six or seven a year. Yeah, why would I
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: take two and a half or three when I can
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: make six or seven? Yes, Baylor is a better head
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: coaching job.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: You get control.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: And you probably, if you do good in the Big 12,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: which is wide open, you probably make the playoffs.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Especially, and Jay, here's another thing that is being absolutely
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: lost here. We go to 24 teams, and everything changes
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. So if you go to Baylor, and
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: you somehow get yourself up to a 9-3 season, you're
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. You're in the playoffs. Also, you're recruiting Texas.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: And that's a big thing, too. So....
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Jason, we'll just disagree, dog, because you're not going to
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: change my mind that Baylor's not a better job. Baylor
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: is much better. It's definitely a better job than an
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator job anywhere. Because that's the goal for most
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: of these young dudes is to be a head coach.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: And you don't want to be one in waiting because
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: you never know when people are going to leave.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody dreams to be the vice president of the company.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: They want to own the company. They want to run
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: the company.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Especially if you're going to have to own a relief one.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: That's it. Yes. Now, in personal opinions, Jason, could you say, like,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that you're absolutely unequivocally without
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: a shadow of a doubt to every person in the
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: world dead wrong but at the same time if we're
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: talking about G.J. Kinney he's going there he's not going
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: to come here because it's an easier path to your
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: next game going through Baylor whereas you come here and
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: I mean people are going to be pissed if you
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: go 9-3 or 10-2.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Even with that, think about it this way too. Why
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: do you think you're hearing so much Texas talk, Texas
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: teams talk about Lincoln Riley? Why do you think the
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: TCU job, if it ever opens, Texas Tech job, if
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: it ever opens, or Baylor now, because it's open. I
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: remember hearing Baylor last year, if they had fired Aranda.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Why do you think those jobs are being talked about
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: for Link? He's running to a place where it's a
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: lot easier for him to do his job. You can
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: go to the Big 12 and just have these explosive
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: offenses and never play defenses and you'll win a bunch
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: of games. You actually may win your conference. I've watched
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: tech struggle. I've watched BYU struggle against certain offenses. I've
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: seen it. It just happens. The thing is, is that
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: there's a very smaller percentage of really good defensive players
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: compared to offensive guys. So teams can feel these great
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: offenses and they'll struggle getting defenses. There's very few Georgias
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: out there, right? So to me, if I have an
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: easier path, why would I go through the SEC if
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: I don't have to, unless I'm getting an SEC head
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: coaching job? Why do you think Lebby left and got
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: him a head coaching job when he could? Dave Aranda's
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: a great example. He left a natty winning LSU to
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: become a head coach. A lot of these dudes want
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: to be a head coach. Now, there are coaches that
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: will say, yeah, I'm kind of tired of being a
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: head coach. I want to do something. I just want
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: to step back and just chill. Or they have ambitions
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: to go to the NFL. Like Chip is the great
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: example of a coach that is done with being a
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: head coach. He has gone everywhere possible to be an OC.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: He's like, hey man, just let me call offenses. Who
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: was it? Malzahn was the exact same way. I'm tired
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: of running these offenses. I'm tired of recruiting and all the,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: just let me call plays. That's it. Just let me
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: call plays and that's it.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it's in the eyes of the beholder.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, What do these people want?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: If you're a G.J., you are going for the up-and-coming stuff.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still young. If he wasn't young, I'd totally agree.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: But he's too young for me to even think that
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: he'd be like, nah. I just want to sell and
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: be an O.C.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Nah.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: Too ambitious.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Because he goes to Baylor, he fails. He gets an O.C.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: job right away. He goes to O.U. and he fails
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: as the O.C., You're stuck at Texas State or something
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: like that for the rest of your career because people
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: saw you try it in that and it didn't work.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: 37 years old. The dude's young. Carnate word for a
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: year in Texas State. I mean, all he wants to
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: do is he wants to just call plays, possibly. I
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: guess you could say call in plays, but we'll see
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: what it looks like. All right. Injury report is out there,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: and that bad boy is long. Good Lord. That is
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: a long list. Let me go ahead and pull that
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: up for the people for y'all to look at it.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: All right. Here's your availability report. Oklahoma sitting here. Taylor Heim,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: of course. Dakota Fields is still out. Foggia is still out.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Rocky Beers is now questionable. Elijah Thomas and EPL are
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: both on the doubtful side. Elijah and Peyton are both
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: still questionable. Jermichael Carter is questionable. And Mikla is probable. Coop,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: what you think?
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I see Kenny Oswulu in there, too. Um, maybe he,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: we haven't seen him cause he's been hurt. Uh, I
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: do want to know what the hell happened to Dakota
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: fields and Trenay Washington. Cause I feel like they kind of, uh,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: they kind of just appeared and, uh, teleported into that outlist. But, um,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: I guess it is what it is. Um, I mean,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: getting Michael back is, um, I still believe that Michael
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: is your best chance on the offensive line from the
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: center position. I don't really think that Nitta really... He's
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: got the size. He doesn't have the size for it.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: So excited to see them. I hope that Eli moves
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: back towards the probable side finally. I would like to
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: see him get back in there and be healthy. they're
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: dealing with a lot of wide receiver. I think Vernell
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Brown III is he still showing out? Doubtful. Vernell Brown III, receiver.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Vernell Brown is doubtful, and that's a big hurt
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: And Stockton. Yeah, and Stockton is kind of their Drake
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Stoops kind of glue receiver. He's been hurt for a
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: minute too. But, I mean, this is one of the
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: reasons why their offense is struggling is because they have
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: had quite a bit on the injury front from the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: wide receiver spot. And I don't see ball on there,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: so that's good for them and only the one offensive lineman.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: So for us, I mean, it's more of the same.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just, it is what it is. I'll see
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: what this looks like on Friday because I know everybody's
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: going to shift. Peyton's going to play again. He played
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: last week. He's going to probably play. I'm ready to
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: see if Eli's back. I'm assuming he'll probably get downgraded.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: We'll see what that ankle's like. I hate that Sully
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: is out. Definitely wanted him to play in this game.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: He'd been important. Love to get Elijah Thomas back, but
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: maybe we get more carry on and more Manny Choice action.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Get that going because we could definitely use it. Mikela, though,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: is probably the bigger one to me. Like you said,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: I would like Mikela back for this game. But I
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: did like what Nitta gave us. The line was pretty solid.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Those pockets were nice. Those pockets were really nice.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: There's been a lot of stuff out there about John
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: bailing out on the pocket when it was clean, when
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: it was protecting him, and missing guys downfield. So, you know,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: though the offensive line has been pretty terrible, In pass pro,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot out there. Now, you obviously got
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: to see the play better. The offensive line just in general,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: if Asusi had probably the worst day that you can
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: have as a left tackle, there was a lot of
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: him falling down. A lot of that had to do
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: with the field. If I'm Florida, hell, I have somebody
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: with garden hose out watering down the field Friday morning,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Friday afternoon, Friday evening, Saturday morning, because it looks like
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: the OU defense struggles with a wet field. um but
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: um uh but yeah i mean listen there's there's nobody
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: on our report uh you know in the magnitude of
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: like a malachi tony and that stuff that's happening down
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: in miami right now which that's good uh but i'm
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: just ready to not have half the roster on the.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Report yeah you know we'll all the same people we've
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: seen for a while so I just hope Foggia comes
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: back for Ole Miss. I know that ankle injury is
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: pretty bad, but I would like to get Foggia back
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: here for the last few games of the season in
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: preparation for the big run. But that, my friends, is
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: our injury report. Looks like it's going to be a
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: very interesting next few days. Thank y'all, of course, for

• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: in practice right before Texas. I think he got rolled
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: up on. He was walking around on a crutch.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: A boot.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: A crutch and a boot at the... coin toss. And
