  13. It's time for the Oklahoma Sooners to pull the plug on a longtime offensive assistant if they want to fix their rushing attack By AJ Schulte | Last updated Oct 16, 2025 I'm normally hesitant to call for a coach to outright lose their job. It's a tough industry with plenty of variables that are completely out of the coach's control, and sometimes the results don't match with the process because of dozens of other factors affecting the game. I understand the nature of the industry and how difficult it is to sustain success. However, I've finally reached that point with one Oklahoma Sooners' offensive assistant coach, and one who has been here a long time. I am, of course, referring to tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley. It's time to move on and find someone who can actually coach this position and find talent instead of the complete zero Oklahoma's tight end room has been. At this point of the season, the Sooners can't do much to fix the woes of their However, if they want to fix it moving forward, this is the only move they have left to take. He has had enough of a leash. Enough is Enough for Joe Jon Finley I can't say for certain what goes on in the tight end room, I can only look at the film. What the film tells me is that the state of the Sooners' tight ends is in embarrassing sorts. There is a lack of fundamentals and talent To make matters worse, it's been a repeat problem for years. Oklahoma's run game has mainly been attributed to the offensive line. After all, it's very easy for casual viewers to look at the run game struggling and say "Yeah it's the oline's fault" because they don't really understand blocking. And that's ok, it's a tricky thing to pick up live. Yet I can promise you, it's not the offensive line's fault. At least, mostly not. The tight end room is completely unplayable. Even with Jaren Kanak's prowess as a receiver, the room is at best a zero on the field and at worst completely derailing Oklahoma's offense on a down-to-down basis. It doesn't matter what Oklahoma offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle tries to run. Time and time again, the tight ends are whiffing the blocks or getting blocked right into the path of the runner. Texas steamrolled everyone in the room, shutting down any hopes the Sooners had of mustering anything on the ground. Over and over and over again, a tight end lost his battle or blew his assignment. Where is the coaching? How is every player in a room completely messing up his assignment every time? It's a complete disaster It's getting to an embarrassing state for Oklahoma, and it's a problem that has stretched on for years. Ever since Finley took over the tight end room in 2021 (as an aside, why is a Lincoln Riley hire still in Norman?), the talent and production has dropped year-over-year and the bottom has finally fallen out. If Kanak, who converted from linebacker this offseason, didn't look as good as he has a receiver, there would be absolutely zero reason to play any of these tight ends. Finley lucked into a position convert being a really good athlete. None of the other players have shown anything that should be the standard at Oklahoma. I'm loathe to say Oklahoma should just live in 4WR sets, but at this point, they might as well. That room is several leagues more talented than their tight end room is. At this point of the season, I don't think there's anything you can do to salvage this room. There's just a dearth of talent at the position, and it's been that way for years. A school that has long produced playmakers at tight end has been reduced to taking in talents from Pittsburg State and Kennesaw State, because nobody else would come here. It's sad, and there's no reason for this to continue. Change has to come.
  14. From Mount Bonnell... FIGHT !!! 🤘
  15. Former 5-star receiver’s uncle calls radio show to complain about QB: ‘That boy sucks’ Syracuse receiver Johntay Cook during the game against SMU. (N. Scott Trimble | strimble@syracuse.com)N. Scott Trimble | strimble@syracuse.com By Matt Connolly | mconnolly@pennlive.com It has been a rough couple of weeks for the Syracuse football program. After upsetting Clemson on Sept. 20, the Orange have dropped back-to-back games since starting quarterback Steve Angeli was lost for the year against the Tigers. There are plenty of Syracuse fans frustrated, including apparently the uncle of star receiver and former five-star recruit Johntay Cook. Following the 31-18 loss to SMU on Oct. 4, David Cook, who claims he is Johntay Cook’s uncle, called into the Orange postgame radio show to let out some frustration. "I just left the game. I had to leave in the third quarter. From what I seen, that was some high school football," David Cook said. “My nephew was a five-star receiver from the SEC. He’s got three-star (cornerbacks) covering him from the ACC. And they can’t get him the ball.” Johntay Cook started his career at Texas in 2023 after being ranked as a five-star receiver out of DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas. He caught 8 passes for 136 yards for the Longhorns as a freshman in 2023, before hauling in 8 passes for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns in four games last season. Cook was off to the best start of his career in 2025 at Syracuse before Steve Angeli went down. Cook caught six passes for a career-high 113 yards at Clemson as Angeli was injured during the third quarter. The junior has 13 catches for 156 yards over the past two games, but David Cook believes he would have even better stats with better quarterback play. “I’ve seen the practice tapes. My brother sent me the practice tapes. And I see what he do in practice. … And that boy sucks in practice,“ he said of Rickie Collins. ”So I’m looking at it. He’s not supposed to be there." “And maybe [freshman quarterback] Luke Carney ain’t the answer, but I ain’t seen a quarterback throw the football backwards since the ‘80s. And then you want to run to the coach and watch film. You need to go all the way back to high school and watch film with your high school coach. Because that’s what he looks like.” Johntay Cook spent two seasons at Texas before transferring to Syracuse. If his uncle has his way, he may be on the move again soon. “I’m the reason he went to Texas, and I’m fixing to get on the phone with his father, and we’re fixing to see what we can do,” David Cook said. “We can’t let Rickie ruin our chances to get to the league. That boy’s not ready for a No. 1 spot.”
  16. Such a great Ruth quote...
  17. Barry Sanders + Eric Metcalf --"The Human Joystick" Turn down sound, and enjoy...
  18. Cole Hutson out for Kentucky
  19. FIFY
  20. Simon's style running between the tackles reminds me of Emmitt Smith... great vision with an ability to avoid big hits.
  21. Watching the Texas offense during the blOU game was eerily similar to watching a jawja offense...
  22. Freeman might be their likely target -- Notre Dame is not necessarily a better job since NIL added to CFB.
  23. Damn glad Sark called more short and intermediate pass plays...
