I guess I am missing some things. Ruhle great coach. He ain't leaving the NFL after one year to take a paycut for a college gig. Joe Brady ain't coming to OU as an OC.
What is clear, Joe C. And Administration had no clue this was coming; that part of LR's timeline is true. I do not believe there are any mandatory timelines in place. I doubt there is a requirement to "post" a job opening for college football coach at a public institution. Even if there is, a coach accepting the job can be announced and the school signs off at a later date during proper quorum.
I do not believe BV is an option. Reading between the lines there would be more obvious movements. I do not think he is a match with J.C. (and Stoops sitting in the same room).
I could see Joe Brady as a head coach candidate, to maintain the stranglehold on offensive recruits OU has managed to build up. To balance this equation, a more experienced defensive coordinator would be a perfect compliment (e.g. Gary Patterson). An outstanding defensive mind with head coaching experience for a somewhat inexperienced coach to lean on.
Another thing: as LR's true story of his planned departure becomes more clear and defined his true character will be on display. Because of HIS choice to take a coward's approach, he will gut the current OU roster (transfers, NFL draft), this year's current commits, and 2023 commits.
Yes I understand verbal commits haven't signed, but with the transfer portal it is now a year to year operation. LR truly screwed the very school who helped bring him to prominence.
I would love to have a beer with Bob and get his feelings; he knows how this went down. I have no problem with a coach or a player making a decision to better themselves. Players transferring , decommiting, etc. I understand. A coach going apocalyptic on the way out the door is wrong. But hey he had some good tears for players on Sunday and again on Monday at his press conference at USC...tears of joy.
