John Mateer Changes EVERYTHING For Oklahoma In 2025

[@AlanPancakes]

Good for OU

[@jimfitzgibbon5492]

I do consider BV a great coach . What people do not realize is what he inherited. Did he make a huge mistake in putting Littrell over Offense. Much of that was timing of Lebby leaving. But let’s wait & see, what happens in the future before casting doubt on BV.

[@midnightrider1100]

I think he did make a mistake in hiring too many legacy folks and putting himself in this position.

[@johnnythompson4592]

BV is not a great coach. He is less than average as a Head Coach. He is a fine DC but as a HC he is not close. The SEC destroyed him and this program. It WILL continue. They will lose their bowl and that makes BV 6-7 for 2 out of his 3 years. He is not HC material. He should leave or OU should fire him. It's not personal it's business. He will continue to have his but handed to him in the SEC, he isn't good enough as a HC. Also forget the header John Mateer does not change everything, he doesn't. He will have his ass handed to him, like Brent. OU football mentality and philosophy is a loser in the SEC, because they don't have players who are tough. They may rate 3-4-5 stars, but they are soft players the ones OU gets, thats why they are so inconsistent and make such bad plays at critical times. BV is also part of this, he looks desperate because he is. Now recruiting is suffering, BV must go, and take (AD)Joe C with him, he is bad as well. OU has become irrelevant under BV. He is at best a fair HC; I couldn't disagree more with your assessment of BV he sux as a HC to me.

@@jimfitzgibbon5492 BV is building a defense that held its own all year in the SEC and that’s just the start.

The truth hurts but you are right 12 and zero 2023

I never thought OU would be happy to be getting WSU coaches and players. If the OC and QB whisper that BV hired are that good then why nor develop Hawkins? Hawkins has elite speed and with the right coaching can be lethal. Remember, Hawkins was a TRUE Freshman playing with the worst line I have ever seen at OU.

[@GabeTalksFootball]

There’s a difference between coaching an already made talent and developing a raw one. To compete in the SEC this year Mateers the choice. No doubt Hawkins is a great talent though

[@zophix-5741]

Hawkins can be the guy, but I think its way more beneficial for him to actually get a proper OC and QB coach to develop with for a year before starting.

[@MJ-pk4gh]

The ideal strategy is to get a guy like Mateer in so Hawkins can learn and be ready to take over when it's his time....just we had with Baker and then Kyler. That type of situation would really benefit Hawkins because he'll learn the system and still have an opportunity to be "the guy"

[@jimedwards2511]

@@MJ-pk4gh WSU lost to New Mexico and Wyoming. You really think Mateer can light up a SEC defense better than Hawkins? Hawkins is the better athlete

[@StripedSooner]

uhh... do you know how dumb it would be to go in to a season with 1 scholarship QB on the roster, who has barely played? 😂think about this for 2 seconds and save some face

[@GeorgeShields-k2s]

He "was" the number one pick, other players will no doubt follow.

[@chuckkearney9246]

Who said he is coming to OU?

Your mom

[@chuckkearney9246]

@ what does my mom have to do with this? May the God Lord bless you real good @willsummers1245🙏🏻

[@one4thought776]

Call it selfish on my part but landing him will fulfill my fan woes ..and it's ats simple as that at this point

[@johnj1765]

I haven't seen He sounds like Baker? any clips of him.

[@GabeTalksFootball]

It’s a good comparison. I’d say Baker has a better arm and touch but Mateer is more mobile and they’re both elite playmakers

[@MJ-pk4gh]

He could be a heck of a Baker Jr.

[@markstanley3800]

Gabe, I’m a usc fan first and foremost, but I went to niu. Can you do anything on them???

[@StripedSooner]

we won't have 80% of our starting offense injured again next year, almost certainly, so that'll help dramatically too

[@terrydouglas5008]

And 6 top receivers injured.

[@kengvuichok4034]

Hawkins will b smart to sit, watch and learn behind Mateer while the sooners build a proper working O-line that can protect the QB, instead of getting bad reviews for being smacked every other play, I m sure his parents agree

[@BranDZ7]

That's assuming he actually comes to oklahoma

[@zoomdoof6107]

he squats 600 mf pounds. not many NFL QBs can squat that much. probably lamar, and jalen and a couple others but thats it!

[@cooperwilson4558]

If Mateer is so great why was he at WSU? Hes no Baker.

[@ronnietraylor4698]

Quit downing BV he is a good coach just came to OU everyone hate us and last season was cheated in Kansas and OSU come on everyone saw the ending of those two games 🤪

[@FaithfulDetailing]

Lol i think your sports analyzing is off brent is best for oklahoma on head coach position. The program us already getting better and beter each year.

[@kimfitzsimmons2067]

You will eat your words about Venebles - he inherited a horrible team and had to buils the defense up - check, success. He did make 1 critical mistake that set the program back = Seth Letrell. The rest of the issues this last year were the WORST set of injuries that I know of for any power 4 team. Gabe, you "talk football" but that doesn't mean you "know" football. Be a little more humble and loose that foul mouth and maybe you'll get to 1,000 subscribers. I'll check back in the Spring to see if you changed your tune. BOOMER!!!

[@GabeTalksFootball]

Already have a channel with 10k+ subs but yeah, Brent needs to prove he’s a good head coach. Because he hasn’t yet.

[@Eaaatlife]

No! Now they’ll whoop on Michigan next year.

[@mygunsweetness]

Hold on there a minute, 6 starting WR out, 4 starting OL out, toughest schedule in college football, that we have again next year, there isn't a team outthere that could withstand that. FACT We also have Hawkins, which should be a 5☆ his stats equals any 5☆ in his class. He's faster than Mateer. He will cartwheel into the end zone for his Brothers to win. Mountain west ain't the SEC. Our OL will be better next year. We'll see who wins QB1 at Oklahoma. BOOMER SOONER

[@JamesOMalley-hb4tf]

Mateer is older bigger stronger more experienced etc. He can run too, had almost 900 yards rushing last season.

[@johnnythompson4592]

John Mateer changes nothing what an in-accurate statement. You forget OU has Brent Venables; you know the coach who has rendered OU irrelevant in college football. John Mateer if he goes to OU (Miami) linked as well, who get his ass handed to him most Saturdays like Jackson Arnold di this year. He means nothing because they are soft on the lines and poorly coached in the defensive backfield and made to order for SEC schools who are street brawlers in pads, OU is not, they are undisciplined and soft and will stay that way under BV. BV is in over his head, OU will continue to fail, this is a fact.

[@williebates3398]

Lmfao! You Oklahoma podcasts are desperate to a point of embarrassment. Y'all are going to look a fool when he heads elsewhere. Oklahoma literally had to go shag an offensive coordinator from his current team to even have a shot to land this kid? Oh how the mighty have fallen in just a short amount of time.

[@masisney6118]

We will see who gets the last laugh.

[@williebates3398]

@masisney6118 I'm telling you if this cat plays Oklahoma to get a fatter bag elsewhere and he doesn't come who looks the fool. Oklahoma is basically telling everybody to drive up the price and then half your nil funds are gone for other players. Never take BV to a casino with your life savings because he'll put it all in the first hand.

[@KillerBrees]

So you're trying to say you know where he's going? If he isn't going to OU, then where is he going? Please enlighten us.

[@williebates3398]

@KillerBrees there are several blue blood teams that need a quarterback. Miami, Michigan even Georgia. Who's got the biggest sack gets the prize. It's free agency so thinking it's about loyalty is fools gold.
