Relatively informative article on how OU Football is currently structured:

If Nagy doesn’t report to Skeletor, and Joe C is outgoing, I think it’s safe bet that Stephenson is his direct report.
I would assume Stephenson takes a salaried position in the AD as soon as the offset language in his AT&T golden parachute rolls off. Many people think he’ll succeed Joe C.
Stephenson was CEO of AT&T and President of the Boy Scouts, so he’s the prince of darkness. The guy is a master of finger pointing and throwing subordinates under the bus. He’s tight with Nagy now, but once they burn Skeletor at the stake, they’ll be looking for another body.
Watching the replays a couple times now. I really like what I saw from Zina and Spence.
Not sure what Trey Moore’s role on this team is. Zina and Spence are suddenly better off the edge and Ty’Anthony is better at LB. It sucks for the kid, but it happens all the time on elite teams.
Brooks settled down, and is a hell of a lot better than Stroh. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see his fat pale ass out. Good.
Gotta get Baxter back. We don’t have shit at RB behind Tre.
No drops or big penalties at WR. Honestly , I’ll take it right now. I think we fucked up not taking Branch from USC. He’s a complete WR this season, and he can house short passes. That is a skill set not currently on the roster
I think if Skeletor can survive Joe C’s exit, all indicators are Joe C has been neutered, he’ll get another 2 years under the Nagy-Stephenson cabal.
Whatever happens this season, Skeletor will blame it on the Mateer injury. If Mateer returns next year and sucks, he can throw him under the bus. That gets BV in 2027. I could see a Sunday firing after the RRS.
I can’t think of single redeeming quality. Even his guests suck. Chip Brown is his Texas expert. Looch is his aggy expert.
The callers haven’t been funny since Tammy passed in 2018.
I can no longer recommend Prestige TV - Task. They inexplicably added Simmons and he makes the whole podcast way too jokey for a serious drama. He spent 10 minutes making fun of Sam. Didn’t stick around to interview Ingelsby either. He’s a real pro.
The Watch is much better. Doesn’t hurt that both hosts are Philly natives.
Doering still trying to suck Mateer’s dick on SEC This Morning.
He went on some insane rant about how Mateer stayed on the field to watch the Golden Hat Ceremony and how that was an indicator of character and resolve.
Cubes is very good. I’d recommend some of his explanations of slide protection. Pretty interesting.
Doering sucks. Shocked Roman hasn’t asked him to defend his Mateer and OU takes from earlier in the season.
I split hairs with you on Notre Dame, but you need a guy at Freeman’s level to recruit nationally.
Michigan’s best players usually come from Detroit or Ohio. They have to knock heads with fOSU in both areas. Penn State pretty much has all of Pennsylvania to themselves plus easy proximity to the DMV and Jersey.
