New Staff Selection

Does Oklahoma in the SEC = Nebraska in the BIG10. Losing Riley and a year of top recruits + moving to the SEC might lead back to the dark ages of OU football methinks.

I’m not sure about the dark ages exactly, but they certainly could fall back towards the Texas A&M level (#15-25 in the polls but probably not top ten) until they adjust. All teams that switched conferences had some early success but changed coaches within three or so years. None have won their conferences yet that I remember. Will be interesting to watch as they go from shot callers in the Big 12 to rank and file in the SEC.

Aren't we doing this backwards?  Seems the new OC would have a say on what assistant coaches we hire.   I'm all for Joseph by the way (my middle name - so he has to be good :D )

I also wonder if Brown will be named RB coach.

You guys are all overhyping this conference realignment having a direct impact on the progrums success.  Literally all of the teams that have realigned were already middling to subpar programs in their old conference- its not like conference heavy weights/title contender changed conferences and saw a big dip.  If anything A&M has raised their profile from a change in scenery

I'm sure any potential OC's are being told of the potential assistant coaches that Frost has in mind, and ensuring that they are similar in terms of offense and coaching philosophy.  Most assistants are flexible enough to work with any OC and vice versa.

Good get IMO, we need someone who can go down in the south and recruit. Not a easy job to convince players to leave the state or the south in general.

I would think the next OC - if he is actually going to the in charge of the offense (scheme, play calls, recruiting, game planning, strategy, etc) would want to have some say in who, what when where and how the new offense is assembled and implemented.  Therefore, presumably, the OC is already known but not yet revealed, for any number of reasons.

 With all of the activity out there in the portal and coach changes, seems like sooner (no pun intended) would be better than later.

Yes and Joseph brings some major credibility since he coached the 2019 LSU receiving core. Recruiting many of them. So pretty hard to say anyone else in the country has recruited better than Joseph or sent more receivers to the NFL than him the last few years. Also look how good they are all doing in the NFL as well. Ready to make an impact as soon as they hit the league.

And until the Athletic Dept actually announces something, it’s all just gossip, rumors and speculations.  Sometimes, these types of “leaks” are just negotiations, trial balloons, etc.

Overhyping? I don’t recall any P5 school winning a conference title yet, let alone playing for a national title. We were a conference title contender switching, Missouri played for the SEC title their second year, Colorado made a splash too. 
 

To say conference realignment doesn’t affect program success is ignorant at best.

No, because oklahoma in the Big12 is significantly better and more consistent compared to where we were in the big12 prior to leaving.

True but they are also heading to the best conference in college football. The SEC is drastically different landscape than the big 12. You will be expected to be physical on BOTH sides of the ball. Cant just play offense in the SEC.
