After legendary coaches like Bennie Owen, Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops defined OU as a “destination job”, Lincoln Riley turns out to be much more like Chuck Fairbanks in that Norman turns out to be a mere “facilitating stop”. At the end of the day, LR appears to believe it will be easier to get to the CFB from LA, especially given he’s trading the “big league” SEC for the comparatively pedestrian PAC-12. Regardless, the Sooners have the be feeling part awkward/part steamed by this sudden and surprising turn of events. Hook ‘em Horns!!!!

Catfanatic got it right, I think.

Catfanatic got it right, I think. I’m intrigued by the Kliff Kingsbury rumors as, IF KK had had him at Zero U., Mahomes would’ve been the first 3-time Heisman winner. |

The Sooners don't have enough firepower to be in the top 3 in the SEC, but with 1 strong recruiting class, USC might be be in the national playoffs. As much as I like what the Ducks have done, their hold on the PAC 12 is tenuous at best. |

Oklahoma's beat writer Tramel made a similar point to JCat's. Lincoln can go to USC and replicate what he has at OU, AND have an easier path to the FCS playoffs rather than jumping into the 'den of vipers' that is the SEC.

Bleacher Report just reported that Brent Venables to be next HC at OU. I've seen a tweet from a fake Bleacher Report account that says that, but nothing from the official one, so I think they got you on that one. |

There were reports yesterday morning that Lincoln Riley was going to be LSU's coach so you can't trust these reports until word comes from the horse's mouth. |

There is a lot of “noise”, or “smoke” regarding Venables in the last few hours. Not official, but he seems to be the favorite. |

After Lincoln to USC and Brian Kelly leaving ND for LSU, Venables to Zero U. ain’t gonna win the PR Bowl! |

What matters is winning on the field and Venables can do that. |

What matters is winning on the field and Venables can do that. I am shocked at what BK is going to make. $15MM year. If it doesn’t work out, LSU would be in worse shape than UT. It wasn’t that long ago $5MM was a big contract. |
