Unpopular opinion: I think Cowherd is very enjoyable to listen to because he doesn’t scream and argue with people.

[@jacobr8063]

You know, I think you just hit the nail on the head. I love listening to Cowherd and I’ve never known why. Like you said, I think it’s because he doesn’t get all emotional like Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless, or Stephen A. Those guys stress me out. Cowherd is insightful and makes me think, and I like that.

[@Dylan-qy5tc]

@@jacobr8063 Cowherd and Joy are probably one of the best talk show combos. I like hearing what Colin has to say and I think he has some good opinions as well as some bad ones. But I can watch multiple segments and feel like I learned something, while I watch Skip/Stephen A and the only thing I get is a migraine and loss of time.

Not even worried about Lincoln leaving. I’ve had my concerns about him the entire time and I 100% believe we have the better coach now. We’ll see what happens but I’m excited to find out.

[@Kameraspie]

Can your offense continue to be elite and dynamic? Post caleb williams i mean. Since Venables is a defensive coach

[@YodaSmokes]

@@Kameraspie I do believe that. It’s about getting the right coordinator and to me Jeff Lebby was a fantastic hire. If we can just put out 75% of the offense we were putting up from 2014-2018 we’ll be just fine.

[@chestercarter6081]

@@Kameraspie the offense has been pretty good outside of maybe 5 seasons for 20 years. I'm sure the offense will be fine.

[@ronparsley3112]

@@chestercarter6081 Wow. OU history...multiple Heisman winners and runners up who are Sooners. Stoops used to be criticized for putting up over 50 on opponents although he often pulled starters at the start of the 2nd half. The issue for the Sooners has been defense since BV left to go to Clemson. The D often looked confused. Sooner fans have learned the first 15-20 offense plays were not scripted and the D did not have situations mapped out--no wonder they were late on calls and looked familiar. The 4 defense players who opted out accounted for 70% of defense production. We did not have a top edge rusher in the Alamo Bowl, but the OU D TACKLED and made the qb uncomfortable. It was good to see young people tackling. There were whiffs...mostly against a freshman. Lebby has his OU background and almost ALL of the OU offensive coaches back. He has added the Briles plays and led one of the most explosive offenses in the SEC. The OU online has been a mess this year....it was good to see them playing solidly last night. Scuttlebutt on OU pods and message boards is that LR's style worked against Coach B's style. Time will tell, but I cannot imagine as many poor games next year as we had this year. BV will not have a foot out the door.

[@prestongreene2663]

@@Kameraspie With Lebby yes, he's been top 5 in the country for the past several years in the SEC. Lincoln is innovative as an offensive coach but he's slowly but surely been figured out. His numbers weren't on par with Lebby this year and have been slipping since 2017. We'll be fine in the long run. Short run may be up hill but that'll sort itself out, not to mention that a good defense makes your offense look so much better than it is. I.e. Georgia

[@jacobthoma1930]
