Yeah who is this Marvin West chump? Must be one of their interns. :rolleyes:

Eh, who knows what Seth will bring, but if anyone does it would be Heupel. Biggest issue is going to be how the QB fight shakes out and I am sure with his HC experience, Littrell will bring another set of hands who knows what Josh wants to help manage the circus.

Marvin has a unique style and I like it. This article does not give me any confidence that the addition of SL will improve the offense.

SL's Senior Offensive Analyst position is somewhat better Butch's intern position at Bama more of a rehab for them.. But like you not sure what he brings to the table. Another set eyes won't hurt.

"Those who think they know say there is no way to overcome the loss of Nico". That is not Marvin's quote nor opinion, just his observation of others' opinions. Why would you twist an article; because maybe it doesn't align with your beliefs? Marvin West has seen more, done more than 95% of humanity could even hope to. I suggest you read past the article and scroll down to Mr. West's Resume. If it's not too shocking for you.

When brought on board, I had two thoughts.
It's either the transition from Halzle at OC.
Or it's a landing spot from a buddy to be back in a big time program with out being completely in as a coach as far as responsibilities...as others have said, a rehab spot.

If you hired an old teammate to keep him employed, you’d talk up the value he brings to the program. If you hired a ringer and parked him in an analyst spot, you’d talk up the value he brings. There’s no seeing through this hire. It’s got to play out.

Either way we are gonna run CJH offense. Supposed to have some new wrinkles this season. Last seasons new wrinkle was 12 personnel. We ran it because we needed 2 TEs in the game due to personnel, injuries at Tackle, and I believe Coach saw in practice that we were a better running team than passing. All we did was lead the SEC in rushing (again) and have our ~1500yd RB win SEC player of the year.

Might be the most impressive season for CJH at UT....he showed that he is flexible and willing to change in order to succeed.MANY good coaches get fired after a few successful seasons because they cannot do just that. Their pride is such that " We are gonna do this my way just like in the past" when the team they have in that particular season simply isnt suited for it. Nico was inaccurate overthrowing deep balls, and slow to process the field and make the right decision. He was never gonna have a Hooker type season last year. CJH innovated and won 10 games. If they didnt seed the playoffs like complete morons for the 1st (and last) time then we would have had a home playoff game in the 1st round and a weaker opponent in the 2nd. The 4 lesser conference autobids went 0-4 despite the favorable seeding they never deserved. Oh well...

I am excited to see our offense this year. There will be growing pains for sure. We have 7 WRs and almost zero SEC experience. All 7 are bluechips though. 100% bluechip rate. Several of them will figure it out and produce as the season goes on IMO. Excited to see what the QBs can do also. I agree with West that this is a 9-3 type season. Maybe even 8-4 if the offense sputters. Look out for us in 2026,27, and 28 though. We will have playoff caliber talent and experience all 3 years IMO. Hopefully we can win another Title in that timeframe. GO VOLS

We won't know until the season starts.... by the same token, we won't know if Oklahoma's struggles on offense were due to him or Venables meddling until the season starts, either.

Sooners’ first season in the SEC. A new starting quarterback and a new offensive coordinator, a completely different offensive line and an injury plagued WR room. About covers it.



It was a difficult season on multiple fronts for Oklahoma's offense. Injuries ravaged the wide receiver room, with each of the team's top-five players entering the year missing significant time — all or nearly all of the season, in the cases of Jayden Gibson, Nic Anderson, Andrel Anthony and Jalil Farooq. The offensive line also was impacted by injuries before finally settling on a five-man unit down the stretch. Inconsistencies plagued the quarterback position, with Jackson Arnold and Michael Hawkins Jr. both struggling while the Sooners made multiple changes at QB1. Offensive coordinator Seth Littrell was fired seven games into his first season calling plays, leaving Joe Jon Finley as interim play-caller the remainder of the season.

I think he’s the next OC.

Possibly a trial run to see what he brings. Personally I wouldn’t mind a change. Although I’d prefer it be an actual transfer of playcalling duties. We need an OC that isn’t married to a particular system that tailors his offense to fit his personnel rather than running the same system every year and recruiting for the system. What Oklahoma ran against us although unsuccessful did seemed to be far more balanced schematic wise than what we have ran the last 2 years. So maybe with a good QB and OL Littrell can bring back some of that offensive juice we lost with the departure of Golesh
