I agree. I think it is time. Even Riley is admitting he isn't calling the games great all the time. Maybe he is smart enough to know it is time to be a head coach and get a talented OC to execute his vision.Is it just me or (I know I've been harping); is LR overextended as HC & OC ? And then recruiting on top of all that ? We need a few more young zen masterminds around to put all the pieces together, imo
Agree Stevenson is a hoss, wish he'd get more carriesJalen is a great person, and I am glad Rattler is getting some sideline time until next year. Hurts just is slowish on his reads unlike Mayfield and Murray. If he can catch those middle route guys like Basquine Hall Morris Calcaterra (when he comes back) I strongly believe his numbers can grow. Singling out Cee Dee will end up getting stuffed as he is now double and triple teamed. Good to see Brooks get his wheels back, but am concerned that the talented Stevenson sits on the sideline.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Gundy's son one day calling plays somewhere. I don't know his role exactly but he's always attached at the hip of Riley on game days and I don't believe he's just a student assistant anymore.Is it just me or (I know I've been harping); is LR overextended as HC & OC ?

.....or national championships during their Heisman years. Vessels won it in 1952 and was on the 1950 national championship team.And then there is every single one of OU’s heisman winners. None had undefeated seasons.
Hurts is a slightly better Trevor Knight.
Hurts has a national championship ring. Don’t recall Knight having one.Hurts is a slightly better Trevor Knight.
And next year we'll have a quarterback with zero experience at the helm.

This is true but at least I believe he will stand in the pocket and go through his reads before taking off to run. As someone pointed out Hurts seems to only see Lamb and Rambo and he has other options like check down reads to RB. I just think he enjoys his own stats at times.
He does the right things off the field but he has shown on the field that if you pressure him he has a big tendency to make mistakes. This is why Tua replaced him at Alabama and just like he is here at OU he is still a favorite in Bama. Would he be though if Bama had not come back to beat UGA?
I know this isn’t fair to say but sometimes I just wish we had taken our lumps and chances with Mordecai and Rattler this year to get them ready for the next season. There is no doubt JH is a quality person and a great athlete and despite his stats I just don’t believe he is a great QB.
They got beat in the bowl game, despite an undefeated regular season. In those days, the voting ended before the bowl games were played......or national championships during their Heisman years. Vessels won it in 1952 and was on the 1950 national championship team.
That's a little harsh. He isn't great at reading coverages, but he's only beein in the system for ten months. And is unfamiliar with any opponents before this season. He's a quality college quarterback. But I wouldn't rank him ahead of any of our four Heisman winners in this century, nor Heupel, the runner up.Hurts is a slightly better Trevor Knight.
I know that. Kentucky, Bear Bryant and Babe Parilli beat OU in the Sugar Bowl 13-7. Still no national championship during Vessels' Heisman year in 1952.They got beat in the bowl game, despite an undefeated regular season. In those days, the voting ended before the bowl games were played.
That TK win over Alabama does not get near enough credit imo. What a heck of a win and it totally took me by surprise, wasn’t expecting that from Knight but he was freaking nails all game. Bester was also a straight up hoss that game.as were many others including Striker who they had no answer for.Geno Cappelleti ( sp? ) was a WR for Minnesota. The Kentucky QB was Vito "Babe" Parelli. Oh, and Hurts was surrounded by a complete team when he won the NC. That was far from the case with TK.
Correction made. Got my Italians mixed up at 3:47 in the morning.Geno Cappelleti ( sp? ) was a WR for Minnesota. The Kentucky QB was Vito "Babe" Parelli. Oh, and Hurts was surrounded by a complete team when he won the NC. That was far from the case with TK.
Lots of hate on Hurts. Had he not transferred to OU we would be sitting at 2 losses maybe 3 and no chance at the Big 12,11,10 Title Game. Last time I checked Riley still called the plays not Hurts.
If anyone thought Hurts coming to OU this season was going to get us number 8 then you need to look no further than the crappy defense we put on the field year in and year out, that is the main reason we have not won one in almost 20 yrs.
I am not sure what else Hurts could do but he does not have much help on offense this year, guys need to step up.
Hurts knew how bad our Defense was before he transferred so it makes me wonder if Grinch was the deciding factor that he came to OU. Bet he has had regrets lately about that decision. His late int didn't let Iowa State back into the game, the CRAPPY DEFENSE DID.
The Browns should lose the rest of their games perhaps ?CeeDee is going to be one rich dude. I think we're witnessing OU's biggest Pro player in quite some time. Adrian Peterson / Gerald McCoy type. 8-10 year starter and 3-4 All Pro's. I hope he gets selected by a team that can throw it.
