Making sense of WSU's Week of Chaos & who they might pursue for head coach

[@KaelanF]

We need regulation. Transfer portal should have limits and be open after the bowls. There also needs to be a NIL cap

[@SnowmanTF2]

Unless playing on team is split from enrollment or entire schedule of season is shifted earlier, it is going to be very hard to get around the timing of transfer portal issue. Since there pretty much is a hard limit on getting players into classes by January, with at least a little time to relocate. It seems hard to see NIL ever being worked out in a way that is going to be favorable for teams outside P4, even what congress is considering looks to be tied to program revenue, so more likely to entrench stratification of FBS into 3 tiers than change current trajectory.

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

Before you do that, you need to completely separate college athletics from college academics. The goals of a college's athletic department having nothing in common with the goals of college academics. It's time to separate.

[@billwallberg]

We Beavs with Jonathan Smith feel your PAIN. I believe the Cougs will come out better for this. Go Cougs !!! ❤

[@ricks4361]

Another Sooner here. Found your channel when Arbuckle’s name came up as OC. Great job y’all do. Watched WSU 1st X to see the O and left blown away by Mateer. Heard Dickert talking and he seemed so genuine. Hate what college football has become. Hate the realignment. Hated seeing y’all and the Beavs getting left behind. Never wanted OU in the SEC. It’s all about the bag now and all loyalty and integrity is gone. I hate programs feeling forced to get dirty to stay in competition. Sux. Pulling for y’all.

[@steveokahn7249]

From a Coug who sat with his family in the OU section during the 2003 Rose Bowl...OU SUCKS! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding. Had a great time and far better fans than the Michigan ones in 1993. Appreciate your post and sentiments. Stinks you guys took Arbuckle and Mateer, but that's college football right now.

[@adamcompean9385]

@ricks4361 Hey, Sooner fan Ben Arbuckle isn't all that great, but ok. He couldn't establish a run game with WSU for two years! He kind of reminded me of your old DC Alex Grinch! 😂 . John Matteer is great, but I can't throw the long ball because of his side throws! Last 3 games teams figure him out, John Matteer couldn't do much against the defense! Good luck!

[@futurecoug2012]

The Portal is unfornately now open for the Cougs until mid-January. Great timing, Dickert. Still pumped to be going to the Holiday Bowl next week in person. Go Cougs, forever

[@kylestewart8354]

Not gonna lie. My heart goes out to WSU. That fansbase deserves better. College football is Dog eat Dog sport now. Makes me sick

[@tilu3303]

Great conversation! Keep looking forward. There's much more about the Holiday Bowl than a competitive game.

[@ssparks1101]

Sooner here, y’all have my utmost support..hang in there Dylan and Cougs fans time is you your friend!

[@Truthseeker-cv2mvp]

Sooner fan here. Thrilled to have Mateer and arbuckle but I do feel bad for wsu fans. I know what it feels like for my team to be gutted, not cool.

[@gdo3510]

No you don't. Not even a WSU fan, but to see a Sooner fan trying to act like he knows what it's like to have their entire athletic future completely be screwed is just a joke. You guys are literally a blue blood and have never had to worry about the things that schools like WSU have.

[@Truthseeker-cv2mvp]

@gdo3510 😂🤣 easy there there lil buddy.. Settle your goofy ass on down ffs look at you 🤡👌

[@wheeler116]

@@gdo3510bro OU literally had their QB, best receiver, and head coach leave for usc just a couple years ago. If that ain’t a comparable situation then idk what is.

[@DMWolFGurL]

@@gdo3510 Uh, Lincoln Riley and a good chunk of guys already signed to you and then you star QB leaving as well. Umm, you need to do your damn research buddy.

[@JohnOdermott]

@@wheeler116 With all due respect, OU has never had it's conference disintegrate and gotten left behind. So no, I don't think Sooners know what WSU & OSU have gone thru.

[@PalouseGrinder]

Coug head coaches that have had success are usually on the older side ( Walden, Price, Leach, Erickson )Pullman is a good place when you are done making your name and chasing the almighty dollar. When you get old you realize that being safe and not getting carjacked or assaulted is fairly important to your well-being.

[@blc2103]

Boomer Sooner here. Good video !! You guys have a number of very valid concerns - especially Coach Dickert suddenly leaving the program after firing/losing the key coordinators. This is simply not good for the game of college football and something needs to be done about it.

[@Based_God333]

Someone said this the other day, but I agree. I am a lifelong Sooner fan born and raised in OKC, I will be rooting for Washington State this year as well👍🙏 Godspeed

[@billwallberg]

Your feelings of Wake Forest is similar to ours of Michigan State. Go Cougs/Beavs and future of the Pac "12".

[@skydouglas996]

Dylan is 💯% right on. Any coach or player that has a good season is leaving for greener pastures. WSU administrators have decided not to support the football program as evidenced by cutting scholarships.

[@adamcompean9385]

I heard Max Borgy wants to coach WSU Cougs?

[@khayWAZZU]

Lets not forget that Mateer called out Jackson Arnold saying he was better than him in high school & now goes to the school / head coach that wanted Arnold over him. Enough money changes anyones loyalty in sports

[@arecizzle]

I thought WSU was ready to jump ship as soon as they got ANY P4 invite. Not so sure anymore if that is realistic anytime soon.

[@jamesmay1766]

thank the NCAA for allowing NIL/transfer portal to exist. If you dont have the boosters to back your university...start looking at playing in AA or Division 2 and 3 levels

[@carverbehrens6769]

WSU should just join the Big Sky!

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

@@carverbehrens6769 I agree. That would be an appropriate conference. Travel expenses would be minimized. Join the Big Sky, then focus hard on improving the academics at WSU. Make it into a world-class academic institution with high standards.

[@brianmyers4444]

i know it will never happen but would love to see Marques Tuiasosopo become head coach....

[@camdenjeske1385]

I worked at call a coug last year, basically cold calling for donations to the school, it's hard work man lots of people 25-45 are super unwilling to give to the school for anything much less athletics. wsu has an alumni outreach problem that current students cold calling can't necessarily fix.

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

WSU doesn't have a loads of multi-millionaire alumni and donors like USC, Stanford, Michigan, Texas, etc. has.

[@camdenjeske1385]

@user-sg8kq7ii3y it ain't about millionaires cuz I'm that, it's the fact that the school seems to keep cutting funding to things that directly help the school, and people notice that, and don't want to give money to a poorly run organization

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

@@camdenjeske1385 It is about the multi-millionaires. Are you denying that schools, like USC, UCLA, etc. have a much larger fan base, and, by default, more multi millionaires?

[@camdenjeske1385]

@@user-sg8kq7ii3y I'm obviously not denying that they have larger fan bases and more millionaires. I just think that pulling funding to athletics shrinks the number of people that care about the school and makes it less likely to get big donations from older alumnis. sure some millionaires would be pretty sick but I don't want to believe that the only solution to our problem is a bunch of millionaires lol. guaranteed there's plenty of cougs on 6 figures plus but everyone always upset with the university these days

Dylan is just saying whatever he wants even if it's wrong.

[@TheCouchGM]

Do you disagree with an opinion or did we get something wrong?

[@adamlewis4736]

@ saying wake forest is a worse program overall than wazzu is just wrong. if anything it’s a lateral move.

[@dylanhaugh3340]

@@adamlewis4736more so meaning all-time leading up to this point. Wazzu has more wins, bowl appearance, consensus All-Americans, conference championships, 2x more weeks in the top 25. I said I get why he made the move in terms of revenue sharing and more money invested in Wake because of the difference in TV deals.

Oklahoma Sooners lost a huge boatload of players to the transfers portal. Oklahoma could be below .500 team? 😂😅😂!

[@blc2103]

Oklahoma has not lost anymore players to the transfer portal than any other major P-4 program. Additionally, like every major program, none of Oklahoma's key players entered the portal - it was mostly roster cut related, non-starters, injury-prone guys, and walk-ons. The Sooners are loaded with talent and should roll into next season back on par with arch rival Texas.

Mendenhall leaving new mexico for a crappy utah state team that they BEAT this year. For the exact same pay mind you! 6 million for 5 years.

Yalls coach leaving for a better deal, better pay, and a WAY more competitive conference with an actual media deal makes ALL the sense. Yall are just salty and is quite sad to be real 😂
