I agree with what Dusty said on the radio today - something has awakened at Ou.
I love how the former players are pulling together and it feels like we need someone from the Ou family (Brent Venables) to come straighten this out. I’m really excited about the buzz around the program right now.
#BoomerSooner
LSU fan here.
Hope you guys can pull Venebles.
He’d have ya defense tuned up enough for SEC play. 😎
appreciate that sir
Thank you hope Sooners get Brent Venables too we need a defensive coach for the SEC best conference in college football hope LSU new coach will lift LSU back to where LSU should be elite
We gonna need it too!
Congrats on your alls hire. Cannot wait for regular OU LSU games. Hope it's next year!
@@hoel7367 I can wait another year or two. We're (OU) not quite ready.
As a New Yorker who has been a fan of the Sooners since the Wishbone Offense, I can honestly say I love you guys podcast! Thank you because I've been losing my mind with all of this. Boomer Sooner!
Lol. Same. From NY grew up watching OU with my dad. So glad he enjoyed watching OU and not Texas. I've stuck with OU ever since. Remember my dad letting me stay up to watch the '85 NCG.

Awesome to see OU fans from across the country. There's a CZcamsr that goes by "Maddog Sports" who's a New Yorker that's an OU fan.
He used to do watch along streams for the games a couple of years ago. Wish he still did, but now he mainly just covers the New York Giants and baseball.. Sometimes I'll see him in the live chats of other people's college football channels talking about OU. Like on Uncle Lou's channel.
Lincoln tanked our season on purpose. We had great team to win it. He knew he was leaving two months ago and the assistants who are following knew a month ago. You don't move to Cali overnight thar fast with that big of a decision.
Amen - had the job lined up in September and I’m CONVINCED he was trying to lose games to get OU eliminated so he could bounce as quickly as possible
His play calling hasn't made since all season...now we know why. Literally looks like he was trying to throw the games by his ridiculous play calls. With that said, glad his soft ass is gone. We wouldn't compete in the SEC with him as coach anyway.
@@OUrNit03 yeah all season my wife and I are thinking something is “off” or “wrong” with the team and now we know why
Loved how Gabe was so vocal with his choice words on Lincoln Riley on the last edition of the "Oklahoma Breakdown". Love your show guys.... Boomer Sooner.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
watching all the players, fans and coaches get behind their university after being done so dirty by vindictive Lincoln Riley has made me emotional reading all the uplifting Twitter messages. It is lighting a fire within The University of Oklahoma that feels like its been somewhat just smoldering for a while.
You guys are bad ass. Best podcast on youtube. I'm an okie living in LA. I'll be at every USC games booing Lincoln.
Praying Venables and Lebby come on board. Would take Gary Patterson as DC too.
Keep doing what your doing fellas. I'm a fan
Boomer Sooner
I hope we can keep Gundy, Cain, Demarco, and Bedenbaugh.
I think Bedenbaugh and Cain are most likely gone, but I’d think Demarco and Grundy will stay.
@@ericcarr7557 It looks like Cain really wants to stick around! And some of the radio guys down here have been saying that Bedenbaugh wants to also.
Bedenbaugh is leaving with Riley.
@@soonerborn7603 that’s good to here about Cain! I don’t care that much about Bedenbaugh, I mean it isn’t like our O-Lines were dominant under him. We can replace him. Cain is a great recruiter, so I think he should stick around for sure.
@@Jimbo_Bluff he's waiting to see if the new coach offers him a job
48:51 says it all.
Really surprised no one else is pointing this out.
5 years of "the best offensive mind" after being handed one of the best teams in college football.
The national sports media is saying: The Okies are freaking out about losing Lincoln!
This Okie ain't.
Exactly! Look at what he took over compared to what Bob took over. The offense got progressively worse under his watch. All those high level recruits he’s known for getting have also regressed. There’s no player development and a total lack of toughness in the program. Good riddance to him. This Okie ain’t freaking out either! 😎
I HAVE BEEN A SOONER FAN ALL MY LIFE AND EVERY TIME I THANK OF RILEY I GET MAD.
Something non OU fans miss about all this is, LR was starting to feel some heat. Not a ton, but I and a fair number of people had called for the S&C program to be revamped. Lots of complaints about being too soft. I had wondered if Riley had it in him to coach the sort of more physical style that we'll HAVE to play if we want to be able to hang in the SEC and his leaving for USC & the PAC just proves that no, he dosen't. So I'm sure the next coach will address that right up front. And yes, there are some real time pressures regarding the coaching hire. Sooner the better.
LR has been whipped since Georgia did what they did to us. Every big game he has struggled. Just my opinion
We have to go off of his body of work thus far. Does LR expect to break through barriers at USC? He only just put physical distance between him and competent coaches, he ran the other way. Good luck to him but going to a lesser team in a lesser conference, I'm interested in where this goes.
@@oudude8770 Well, I'll give him his due, he is a good offensive mind and a good recruiter and should at least for a year or two be able to keep a lot of talent from Cali that had been leaving the state in Cali, at USC. So we'll see. I still think that as long as Wiley is his S&C guy things will go hard on him when he gets to the playoffs. But just getting there would be a huge step up for USC.
@@rodgerbane3825 Agreed. Offensive talent and that speaks to the best quarterbacks and receivers coming out of high school looking to make it to the NFL someday. Stoops left him a great team to start with but that's the caveat with current Riley successes at OU. With the current state of the USC program and him taking it over, I partly buy into that he didn't want the SEC smoke and grind.
You guys are doing great work. The Sooner Nation love and appreciate your thoughtful analysis. Bob's comments at the press conference calmed my nerves and soothed my soul. He's absolutely right, too. We've been through the Dust Bowl, boom and bust and we'll make it through this too.
LOL. Wombysan I thought living in the land of zen already taught you to take everything stoic and philosophical. 遠慮でしょう🤣
Lincoln Rileyは品質 がないかな🤔
@UCABIif8V5QQc5OcgZdy2eaw Lol. I don't live
in LA anymore but if I caught LR flashing his sissy✌️sign, I would break off both fingers.
体を大事に.じゃまたね
A Trojan must have deleted your comment.😆
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CALEB KELLY ON THE STAFF
I think we'll look back on this and see that it's the best thing that can happen for OU. We were on a slow slide to mediocrity with Lincoln. Lincoln proved he has no loyalty to anyone or anything other than himself. This will follow lincoln the rest of his career. This will be in the back if the mind of every player and coach he works with from now on.
Agree 100% we need a tough as nails coach focused in the trenches preparing for the SEC and recruiting in that league not a softy who can barely inspire a team to play hard. Grinch Defense this year regressed from last year needed new blood bigtime. Stoops nailed the press conference how can that not inspire the players to not want to go to war with him!
Of all the great podcasts you two have done on your show, I think this was the most real and the most uplifting. Let's get a great defense minded HC and a great OC, plus retain BB and Murray and Cain and hopefully Odom and Finley. Opposing defenses had finally figured out Riley, Grinch was too much about speed and not enough about strength. And let's forget that Wylie was even here
Hi guys. You made me feel so much better when you said you were wearing out your phones!
I’m not the only one. Hey, could you do one show a day until we have a coach? We need you now more than ever!
What has Lincoln Built? I mean, coming in to a stocked cabinet is one thing but stocking it yourself is another. Good luck in SoCal Lincoln. I hope your future is brighter than it seems to me to be.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN POSTING EVERYWHERE ON OU POSTS , Teddy! We have been regressing each and EVERY year, no doubt!
Dude, I have never been on Twitter as much as I have now waiting for a HC hire.
Sooo, can Teddy join the Stoops on the sideline for the bowl game? Sounds like Stoops needs people he can trust. I’m only half joking on this one
Great job guys!
Great show guys as always!
This Sat.Dec.4th on the "Big Noon Kickoff",Bob Stoops is on there. But Matt Leinart & Reggie Bush,both are former heisman winners of USC. I think it'll be really interesting,Bob will be cool about I'm sure,but the "OU - USC" is probably the most talked about topic these days. But who the heck saw this coming?🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
USC fan here, I'm happy that Lincoln Riley decided to come to USC. We really needed a real coach but the Sooners will be just fine. Oklahoma will hire a great coach.
The fact that OU's coaching search is taking more than a few hours proves that the job change made by Lincoln Riley didn't happen in a "few hours on a Sunday". Riley was word smithing on technicalities. A process of this magnitude tasks some time to get everything in place. OU is moving at light speed to get this done. Feels like a snail's pace though!! 🐌🤣 Boomer!!
Looking at Saban's age Bob Stoops still has a good ten years of great coaching left in him. And I'm with you Gabe on cheering against USC hereonafter!
I don't know. That car wreck he went thru took a lot physically out of Bob. You could see it for years. He looks better now but he may not want that stress level
Do you guys know the status of Bill Bedenbaugh? I've heard he was going to USC and then I heard he hasn't made up his mind and the most recent development is that Sonny Dykes offered him for TCU. Do you guys know one way or the other?
We love good news👍
Comparing the LR episode to the SEC move is a false narrative. OU & TX did not say "Hey, we're going to the SEC - TOMORROW!" No, we said when the contract/GOR expires, unless conditions mandate an earlier withdrawal IAW the contract, then we are moving. That gives the B12 plenty of time to plan and prepare, unlike what LR did. I'm fine with his leaving, as coaches often do, but to obviously neglect his season and players while getting paid by OU and at the same he & his agent (thru his agent) are negotiating his move. The teams bipolar season and assistants wondering what is with Riley, at least the last month or so, is telling. His play-calling looked like he just threw together five plays then ran them over and over. Then to suddenly dump everything plus start yanking recruits is just slimy. You guys are great and I don't miss a podcast.
Robert Anthony Stoops is a solid person. He continues to give support,and stability to the
Oklahoma Sooners Program. 🧠👍🆗️
I would love to see former Oklahoma players come together and show a renowned support for the University and the recruits. Show everyone what Oklahoma is about and that we are all ONE and we are all a family. You two should make it happen. Make it happen please. There's only ONE Oklahoma. BOOMER SOONER!!!
re: the coaching search... As Teddy alludes to, I expect OU leadership will do as they say and do a full review of the program and the needs moving forward vis-a-vis the SEC before jumping on a new coach.
NOW is the perfect time to reset the program for the next era of OU dominance.
Years from now, I suspect we'll look back on this as a unexpected favor from Lincoln.
Where was Riley earlier in the year when he missed the weekly press conference for personal reasons. Never has been explained as to where he was or what he was doing, unless I missed an answer to this question.
Great show tonight. I appreciate all of you so much. I am so happy that we have Bob Stoops to step in and reaffirm his love for the program. I hope we have a new coach soon, but I trust Joe C to make the best choice. He already did a great job with the basketball coaches.
And Gabe!!!! In Lincolnshire last sooner presser he said the last 36 hrs were crazy! When later he said it was that day! Somethings just don't compute!
You have 5 star kids on commitments only getting 5K + likes or so from the OU fanbase vs watching kids saying that they are for the program and want to be here no matter what getting easily 6-11K ..... I've never seen so many people liking tweets from everyone than in these last few days. A 2022 Oklahoma native kid named Jacob Sexton has like 11.3k likes on his post just saying that he believes in this group and he is ready to prepare for transition into the SEC. It's amazing the support the fanbase is showing! Talks about wanting to pull everyone together. The outpouring for this university is just EVERYWHERE right now online. This is just one example, because every post is getting thousands or likes and interactions.
Grinch and Simmons are actively recruiting for USC. If they are contractually linked to OU, how are they recruiting for USC?
Someone get Caleb a “I’m a program guy” shirt and if he wears it, build a statue.
I wish we could play USC next year!
Teddy was half of one of the best experiences in my life! Being in the stands for "The Play" was so exhilarating I still get goosebumps thinking about it 20yrs later!
Did OU get buyout money from USC?
Thanks for explaining the Banderas gif.
B.V and Lebby would be a huge 1-2 PUNCH.
That would be golden!!!
I'm kinda with Gabe that I'm kinda excited to just root against USC. It's fun to have a villain that's not Texas again.
IDK if Teddy Lehman got this vibe the past several weeks during the weekly Coach's Corner, but listening to Riley answer questions, he just seemed withdrawn, aloof and detached. He also seemed unhappy and apprehensive.
He’s known he was leaving for awhile. I am guessing since September
Someone explain to me why Roy Manning and Alex Grinch recruiting for both OU and USC?!
Does anyone know who the officiating crew for bedlam game were? No one had ever seen them before. Just curious of course it goes without saying the STUNK!
I would have expected Clemson to have scrambled and announced contract extension for BV to try and lock him down.
Sorry I'm brainstorming. Just think if Rileys first year doesn't go all that good which is possible but he could lose some of those recruits from 23 class that he is stealing a bad season could scare some of them off and if we get a good coach and start kicking butt because we don't as far to get there. Just a thought.
Anyone have a link to the "I'm a program guy" shirt?
Gosh I could think of nothing in the football world that would make me happier than to win a national championship while simultaneously watching USC and Rattlesnake Riley have a losing season!
Teddy, the university of Michigan is in the same position. Michigan recruits national as well.
Brent is # 1 Rule is # 2 but that Cincinnati coach looked pretty darn good too I even will give you another one I like the Wisconsin coach and I know he hasn’t won much on the big showdown round but he sure has the spirit He’s a loyal man to his teams
Need a link to the program guy t-shirt. I dont know how to internet
I would love to see Venables come to OU. But after being kind of pushed out with Bringing Mike Stoops back, do you think there might still be some hard feelings involved? Just an observation…
It's like when the USA was bombed at pearl harbor Riley just bombed us and has awakened a sleeping giant.
Rufus is the one that said BV was in Norman. 😆😆
Brent Venables was in Oklahoma interviewing . That doesn't guarantee he'll be the coach tho..
Lincoln broke out the same old fake crying act that he used when he got the Oklahoma job again at the USC press conference. It was the cringiest thing I've ever seen..
Gabe, I know you watch more film than I do but when i watched the film I saw Caleb not see wide open receiver. So Caleb just didn't see open receivers.
And I just saw Michigan beat down Ohio State with gab scheme. Some of their best run plays where GT counter plays.
We watch Elf every Christmas. I’m not allowing it this year because Will Ferrell is a USC fan. 😝
Never liked the Riley hire in the first place.. always thought it should have been venables... that being said I woukd venables or Lanning whichever they choose
Riley was a great hire.
@CHIEF we won 6 big 12 titles with him. His offenses broke records. 3 cfp appearances. This kind if success will never occur again.
Here's my take on the Roy Manning situation:
If Lincoln Riley really wanted you on his staff then you would have been on that private jet with him. If you weren't on that private jet with him then quit recruiting for him. He don't want you because like I said you would have been on that private jet with him if he really wanted you.
44:50
Even this scenario is a breach of contract-to wit, Section III, Paragraph G of Lincoln Riley’s agreement with Oklahoma. However, since Riley’s agent isn’t specifically named in the contract, the representative isn’t party to the agreement and can likely skate by saying that he was acting as a rogue and without Riley’s knowledge.
I mean think about it. Our biggest complaints with Riley was that he couldn't instill toughness, grit or discipline in his players. We loved his recruiting. USC allows him hotter recruiting avenues while in a conference that doesn't give a shit about thicc bois and instead prioritizes flashy guys. He will do well there for sure.
Yeah this is like divorce... it's like your wife leaving you for an uglier guy that works at a temp agency for the past 15 years and never get hired on
Today's podcast is sponsored by Hanes.. We have the best gray shirts around 🤣
Win, Lose or Tie: Boomer Sooner Till I Die..I will never drift away from OU as a Fan ever. I don't even bad mouth coaches while they are still on the team i might critique a little play calling or the off field issues from time to time but, I have to say i have had a lot to say for the last two years and possibly the issues and decline since Riley and bedenbaugh split OC duties and the fact Riley hand picked guys(not stoops recruits) seem to keep being unfocused, undisciplined, highly penalized, suspended and arrested. Am i the only fan whom noticed this pattern? The offense with superstar skills players numbers kept declining... Riley seems like his play call tendencies have been figured out by the Dc's of big12. Why KU were so good vs OU. I don't see USC being good anytime soon. Not salty about Riley leaving i honestly stopped believing in him in 2018. P.S i have been a fan for 46 years i am 46 and literally were born into being a SOONER. Fortunate to have Coaches, Ad's Heisman winners and HOF's cross my path and I am so stoked for the future I feel the best has yet, to come. BOOMER!!!!
What about Bob stoops do you think he would want to come back and pick up where you left off
Ya A&M had a legit dline,& probably a top 10 roster...& went 8-4...they would've been 10-2,or 11-1 in the Big 12,or especially Pac 12. Like Oregon this year,you can be a bit fraudulent,& sit there at like 9-1,or 10-0 in those leagues. But if you are in the SEC,you almost always gotta be legit to some degree,or you'll have 3 or 4 losses...with the same roster. But if OU got Venables,I think youd actually upgrade at head coach,though ya never know,til he proves it...
OU's bowl game may be the most watched bowl game this year except for playoff games. Unleash the Braken... Boomer
Good point about the bowl game. No one else has really mentioned that
Dan Lanning (top choice)
Joe Brady (wishful thinking choice)
Brent Venables (safe choice)
I mean, the Big 12 technically got like 5 years heads up. It's not really the same thing. Most OU fans aren't mad that he's leaving as much as HOW he's leaving. Also, where are y'all getting Spencer Sanders learned to take care of the ball. His team won Bedlam despite him.
Exactly. He threw two picks and Lawrence dropped a pick 6. Awful
Media parrot each other. Sanders had a couple good games but in general was the same inconsistent and turnover prone player. His stats are similar to the previous 2 years. His team around him is better.
We don’t know what Venable’s relationship was with the OU athletic administration when he bailed. Could be he has no intention whatsoever of coming back.
The coolest weight room footage we have is when jalen squatted 600 beltless… wylie can enjoy southern california, and take his stupid split squat jumps with him… this is a football factory not yoga class
Dan Lanning as the HC, Muschamp as the DC, and Lebby as the OC.
He was misleading in all his statements leading up to his decision to leave. He was misleading on his statements on TV with Klatt and the rest regarding that he didnt speak with USC until Sunday (his agents had been dealing with them beforehand). He has been a weasel in his actions and statements.
Why hasn't no one brought up Dabo I know he's not necessary liked but put that aside I think Dabo would be the perfect hire
Coaching salaries are already hitting critical mass. I honestly think ou is vested right now in caleb Williams, if it wasn't, I think Brent would had been hired by now.... Caleb is the focal point of everything right now.... right now Bob, he is bigger then the school at least for the next few years.
Hollywood vs Norman....you, pick....
as far as not having a "heads up" and having notice of LR leaving, and national media saying well its the same "heads up OU and texas gave the conference..... OU AND texas GAVE THE BIG XII 4 YEARS NOTICE. HOW MUCH MORE TIME SHOULD THEY HAVE GIVEN??? 4 YEARS NOTICE.... WE ARE LEAVING.... now we may exit before then, but the big xii had the time needed to "save" the conference and get new teams. so its time to shut up about that.
Don't pee on my shoes and tell me that it is raining.
This whole thing is rife with huge rumors. Some of it is probably right, but nobody, or myself, can figure any of it out. I'm on the Ruhle / Beamer bandwagon, but I hold out for Belichick or Saban at this point!!! :) I also hold out hope for some OU black book project of a hybrid clone of Bob, Barry, Bud, and Billy Simms that has been in the works to just be unveiled to the world.
Josh McDaniels
Bedenbaugh is now at USC.
USC is Gabe's new Texas.
Did y'all hear the DaMarco Murray , Nik Bonito story 😂😂😂
Joe Brady
Lane Kiffin
Dave Aranda
Brent Venables
Josh Heupel
Matt Campbell
PJ Fleck
Y’all want any of them ? If not , who would you like to be next coach ?
Matt Campbell needs to go beat Iowa first 🤷♀️
@@marlene7832 😆😆😆 The guy can coach and yes we would like him defeat Iowa, but it’s about much more than one opponent! Last time I checked he’s beaten Boomer Twice!
Kendall Brileys would be a good OC pick
Oklahoma in all it's history has only hired two former head coaches.. all the rest have been like Bob
It's sad to say but if Lincoln comes home one day and his wife leaves a note that says "hey Linc! It's been great but I'm off for a new chump oops challenge! Your really special It's not you It's me! Oh I'm taking the kids and half plus alimony!!!!
You guys need to start telling people comparing OU going to the SEC with LR going to USC, that OU gave a 4 year notice that they wouldn't be RENEWING their contract with the conference. It's not a lifetime agreement. LR left in the middle of the night. People making that comparison are idiots.
Hell yeah, I love Bob he's the best. I to haven't been able to put my phone down either. I hope OU wins multiple Championships and Usc never ever wins shit. Go UCLA and Oregon BOOMER SOONER 4 life
I still think this was a good thing for ou ,things were slowly going down hill and Riley knew it.
And I know OU is 10 and 2
I would like Bill for head coach, Cale taking OC and bring in a dc
I wonder who the Amazing “interviewed” Coach was who Gabe cannot mention.. I am lead to assume that it’s a name who he hasn’t mentioned at all!
I hope the rumors of Johnny Manziel interviewing today are false.
If it is not venables.. teddy can you find out why? Like if he turned it down... BV is who I want.. but the longer it takes the more unlikely it is him...
Not necessarily. I think Joe C Really want s to take his time and make sure he gets the right guy. Bob can hold us down and Joe C the time to interview all of his candidates.
Wouldnt it be cool if Bob Stoops said I want job back and then said Riley we are coming for you and tell Riley you better hope you don't ever have to play us. Talk about a team being motivated.
Jon Gruden gets my blood pumpin!!!!!!!! Lets Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not buying the Manning thing. If you read the article, the kid did say that Manning “was” the DB coach at OU. But the article goes on to quote the kid saying “”He talked about their track record at Oklahoma for getting DBs drafted…. He said to give them a chance and said they’re about to do something special so I’m going to give them a shot for sure.” I read this as Manning said to give OU a chance because something special is about to happen, I.e., the new coach. He doesn’t need to tell the kid to give USC a chance. The kid has already narrowed his list to include USC.
😳
Fake tears. Laughing inside on the millions he was given I sure hope he kissed OU before he f#$%Ed then
Roy Manning has to go with Lincoln Riley he done broke the trust of the fan base it will be a bad situation for him from here on out
F.T.P
I LIKE Lanning ALLOT bring him and the Ole Miss OC
