They had to pay Sellers a ton and they may not have enough left to keep him happy. I know there were some who thought they wouldn’t have enough to keep Sellers.

I like Sellers and am glad we don’t have to face him yearly. Hoping he stays or, if he does bolt, leaves for another conference.

Look I hate being the Debbie Downer here, but is the current state of affairs truly the idea that Heupel (a man who has proven to be excessively loyal) is firing Pope and, before pulling that trigger, has already agreed to hire another position coach just so he’ll bring along two transfers? That feels like an awfully huge stretch.

I kind of agree. There shouldn't be rumors a coach is getting fired. The coach should just get fired.

Only thing I can think of is if his buyout drops after a certain date or if we are giving him time to find a new job so it looks like he "moved on"

What I’ve heard from an agent friend:
- MM got bumped from $500k to $800k
- The receivers did not like Pope, leading to some of the transfer attrition
- Pope is out
- MM will return

That’s all I’ve heard

This is cool for you. You get to see how much sh*t, if any, your agent friend is full of once it all plays out. At least on the last two points. Won’t ever know MM’s number or anything about the 2nd point.

Considering he’s an agent for college players (or how else would he know this stuff), I’d say he’s prob 90-95% FOS bc LOL at these young dudes tryna play agent.

But I want MM to return so I’ll guess he’s gonna end up being 50% FOS.

Brazzell and Thornton were both huge disappointments. There is not 2nd year fix or whatever people like to parrot around here.

Bru Payton Tillman Velus all were good year 1 in the system. Hyatt just exploded and caused this trope.

good and contributing are different things, but none the less, thorton did make a huge improvement in year two and led the nation in YPC this year. There is literally no reason not to expect Brazzell to also make a leap

I had to look him up. He’s been with Lincoln Riley since OU, so you assume he and Heup have ties there. But he started at Texas Tech under Leach, who Heupel obviously had a relationship. Interesting.

Lincoln Riley has the distinction of being the only head coach I can remember to destroy 2 "blueblood" programs back to back in OU and USC...😄

If Coach Hype thinks their WR coach is an upgrade though, lets get him and Branch! I trust CJH to make the right decision regardless. Thanks for the info about the WR coach bud.

To be fair, USC was already in the gutter. But yes he did destroy Oklahoma

Is this a credible insider? When I questioned dascoop I was crucified, so I’m hesitant!
