The last time that Oklahoma and Texas both had 1st year Head Coaches in the same year....

Sorrows? Your head coach just quit, screwing over the 2017 recruiting class. And you handed the keys to some kid with no experience, no sorrows here.

Yeah, it would be like Urban quitting and handing the team over to Ryan Day.....needless to say, Michigan fans would be ecstatic.

Can Lincoln Riley upgrade Oklahoma’s talent?

This is what it comes down to.

How coaching prodigy Lincoln Riley found the perfect launching pad at Oklahoma

“He was just so brilliant,” said Riley’s coach at Muleshoe High School, David Wood. “He was one of those kids who was kind of bored in school, in fact. He had a photographic memory – he would look at a problem on the board and solve it in his head. I remember making grade checks and his teachers got aggravated with him because he would never take notes or do homework, then ace the test.”

That carried over to football, where brainpower can be the most important attribute for a quarterback. Riley was able to breeze through gameplans and scouting reports the same way he cruised through math class.

“He’d watch film one time through, learn the defense we’re fixing to face and be ready,” Wood said.

Since when is Tom Herman a 1st year head coach?

When he was the architect of the National Championship offense at Ohio State, he was hired by Houston.
And when he kicked ass at Houston by laying the smack down on Oklahoma, he was the most coveted coach in all of football.

Now, Lincoln Riley....

No one knew who the fuck he was just about 2 weeks ago. He is a first year head coach.

And when he kicked ass at Houston by laying the smack down on Oklahoma,

Yeah
Bill Stewart also got a job because he beat Oklahoma.
How did that turn out.

Tech kinda wanted Riley, so naturally Lubbock north snatched him up 1st.

FTR Pat White wanting him as his HC had more to do with it than beating OU but...

1947
Texas - Blair Cherry
Oklahoma- Bud Wilkinson

Cherry won the first meeting in 1947 then promptly lost the next 3 to Bud Wilkinson.
In those next 3 years Bud Wilkinson went 31-2 with one undefeated season and a National Championship.
Cherry could see the writing on the wall and retired.

Your're gay for irrelevant facts.

Good call.

[outofyourmind]

Bud Wilkinson went on to innovations like:
The Oklahoma Drill
Platoon Football
Hurry Up Offense
The No Huddle Offense
1st Televised Coaches Show


Blair Cherry went on to, well, I can't find anything.
