My ‘source’ tells me the paper work and details are being smoothed over. Don’t be shocked if an WSU wide receiver or two comes with the package. This is a big deal for OU. You cannot be average in the SEC at the quarterback position.
Here’s what I’m talking about from 2016 to the present…Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts, Caleb Williams, and Dillion Gabriel preceding Jackson Arnold. Even Spencer Rattler won a Big 12 Championship.
That’s three Heisman winners and two other Heisman finalists. Baker, Kyler, and Jalen all have their three respective NFL teams currently positioned to make the NFL Playoffs.
I love the grit of Jackson Arnold. I want him to massively succeed as the Auburn QB next season. My wife went to Auburn before she ‘hopelessly’ (sigh) fell in love with me and came back to Oklahoma.
I hope Auburn wins every game minus one next season, that being when they visit Norman.
But here’s the thing, Brent Venables is not a seasoned head coach. He’s a wonderful defensive mind. An awesome communicator and recruiter. But most importantly… a good man who represents the OU football program the right way.
But 6-6 won’t cut it for Brent Venables next season. That’s not the football standard in Norman…SEC, Big 12, or Big 8.
This needs to happen for OU in the next two days to start filling the roster where a few holes need to be plugged.
No. 10 Sooner womens’ team beat Michigan last night in the Jumpman Classic to improve to 10-1. If you haven’t seen Coach Jennie’s team yet…you need to take the time. They’re better than last year’s Big 12 Championship team.
No. 15 Sooner mens’ team play Michigan tonight in the Jumpman as well.
Plus…we’ve got the first ever 12 Team CFP starting Friday. My Packers are 10-4 and the Denver Broncos for the first time since my son’s family moved to Denver seem headed for a wild card berth. MJ’s sport cup runneth over.
Life is good.
MJ
*** Wait…my source is back on the line. It just happened? Johhny Mateer is the next Sooner QB legend. There’s Only One Oklahoma, Baby!!!!
