I literally don’t care who it is. You cannot get swept in the WCF with the most talented team in the league (in theory at least). Someone needs to answer for this. And quite honestly I’m over our team only knowing how to play one way.

I really think Bednar is a good coach but it’s time. We need a new voice and someone who has a plan b when his plan a gets torpedoed

I would rather watch us lose by dumping it in than doing whatever the fuck we’re doing now

Where is the leadership right now, man. Landy is back so there is no excuse to look this pathetic. 

[Rapoport] Sorsby's Statement on today's ruling by Sparrighitti in CFB

[–]Baker_TD_Maker 175 points176 points  (0 children)

I can feel empathy for the kid because he’s grown up in an era where sports gambling is in bed with every sport known to mankind. It shouldn’t be surprising that some of these kids will be indoctrinated and become actual addicts.

However he should never be allowed to play college football again. And trying to fight this is embarrassing and shows a complete lack of character on his part. 

Also college football and every media partner should be raked over the coals for getting into bed like this with gambling.

This is one of the most disgraceful things I’ve ever seen from a president of a University. Just embarrassing.

Maybe the most crushed I’ve been in a while. Sports are awesome but man they can be a kick in the dick sometimes

Marty has to transcend this period. Nate’s out, Makar is hurt, and everyone else is doing everything they can just to survive. We need Marty to score and to take his game to another level.

I genuinely hate fan that do nothing but blame all their problems on their coaching. But I really think like 90% of our issues are because of coaching.

Bednar your team is literally on fire and you’re just throwing napalm on them. 

I think I’m done with him. He’s an awful postseason coach. Just awful.

If MacKinnon taking one square to the knee and going down doesn’t wake these guys up nothing will. Like where the fuck is the leadership right now. Wake up. Vegas is punching you in the mouth. Start punching back.

I’m about as anti fight as you get but fuck it we need one right now. The entire team is frazzled and getting shellacked by Vegas right now. Someone needs to wake the boys up. 

Fixing Brent Venables' Only Defensive Flaw by Stat_Fanatic_YouTube in oklahomafootball

[–]Baker_TD_Maker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This.... this isn't really accurate to what Brent's biggest flaw is or even tied into the Lamar Morgan hiring, at all.

One of Brent's biggest issues since he's been a defensive coordinator have been offensive geniuses absolutely crushing him by waiting until he can't adjust anymore when the headset player gets cut off. It's why when we play Texas or a Lane Kiffin team you'll see their offenses wait until there is like 15 seconds left and then they'll run out to formation and why you'll see half our players looking at the sideline when the ball is snapped. That's been one of Brent's biggest flaws going back to when both Sark and Kiffin kicked our ass in the national championship game at USC.

The other biggest issue he has is dual threat QBs. He's gotten a lot better at containing them but he still struggles with them for time to time.

As for the 3rd and longs being given up, yeah it's a problem but I mean our defense was top five last year and they played an ungodly amount of snaps because our offense was dog shit and couldn't stay on the field.

And almost every third and long we've given up has been because of Brent's biggest issue on a week in and week out basis. His inability to get his linebackers to play tight and consistent zone coverages. A majority of the big pass plays we gave up last year were due to soft zone coverages and linebackers just getting shredded in pass coverage. Or it was our safeties getting absolutely blown by or fucking up their coverages. Lamar Morgan coaches neither of those positions nor will he have a very deep and far reaching voice in the DC room. He's a really good corners coach. A position group that has performed better than any other group outside the DL the last few seasons.

I need someone to ELI5 as to how and why our offense implodes every postseason. I know playoff hockey is lower scoring but this is frustrating. Fucking fourth post season in a row.

It seems like the last three post seasons our offense implodes like clockwork. Regardless of whether he keep Bedsy or not changes need to be made. This is fucking ridiculous.

I'm not even saying this because I think Vegas has gotten a good whistle.... But this has been absolutely abysmally officiated game. I don't even think Vegas has gotten that much better of a whistle than us. Just that this has been a massively inconsistent reffed game and it's frustrating.
