Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted October 21, 2023 As I believe....we have a defensive brain-trust between Coaches Lanning, Lupoi and Hampton. Think of it...all three were Defensive Coordinators at prior programs. Count our blessings! 5 1 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Moderator No. 4 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Lincoln Riley hasn’t demonstrated anything to me beyond attracting good college QB’s. Seems to me that Oklahoma is already better without him as a head coach. Interestingly, Oklahoma’s coach Venables is a defensive guy as well. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder though how many players Oklahoma has on their roster that Riley brought in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred flintstone No. 6 Share Posted October 21, 2023 If Ducks fans want USC to flounder that ought to hope either Riley stays a long time at USC or Kliff Kingsbury gets the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the era of the return of the defensive minded head coaches. Smart is also a defensive guy. The pendulum is swinging back to defense. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 8 Share Posted October 21, 2023 In this era of offenses lighting up the score board there are 2 ways of beating these high powered offensive teams. Either out score them with lots of points in a shoot out or defend them enough to slow them down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirklandduck Moderator No. 9 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Not to mention both DL and Tosh have national championship rings as DCs. I don't think any other team can make this boast. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
