U40: Is somebody already putting position coaches on the hot seat?

U40: Is somebody already putting position coaches on the hot seat?

Author: SoonerScoop.com July 23, 2026 Duration: 1:52:29
It finally happened, we got a little too into OU football breakdowns as we started going over the offensive positions and what has to happen on offense to for John Mateer to be a more successful quarterback coach. The addition of Jason Witten has been a massive boost at the tight end position. And the tight end room could be one of those positions that really helps turn things around on offense. What is the running back room going to look like? What are Delan McCullough's running back rotations going to look like and who do we think will end up the best player in that room by the end of the season? We feel good about the offensive line. Who can OU not afford to lose along that line and remain productive? And we haven't seen anything of Trell Harris yet, even though Brent Venables declared him healthy and full go at Media Days. WE STILL DON'T LIKE HURT RECEIVERS THOUGH!!! And what about the high school guys? Will someone finally break out?! OK, you see how we can get carried away. George talks about who he voted for in the All SEC voting. And what one player can improve the offense the most? Lots of QB talk in the SEC, general SEC Conference teams and how serious is the SEC about breaking away from the NCAA? Also watch as Eddie cringes as the guys start talking about how different generations view Star Wars. THE FULL BREAKDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial40!
