re: OU coaching candidates

I know y’all got your coach in Brian Kelly (some happy, some not), but I figured I’d give you another inside scoop on OU. I previously reported that Lincoln Riley told OU he was leaving, which was true, although he apparently used LSU to help get the deal he got from USC.

Anyways, in that, I stated there’s only 1 head coach in the SEC that OU was interested in, which is Shane Beamer.

I’ve now been told a list, most that are known, a few who aren’t. What I learned though is, there’s a name at the top of the list, that OU is pursuing, that isn’t SEC, but might be of interest to you due to this being CFB.

Everyone knows OU likes Brent Venables from Clemson, BUT, the main candidate Joe C is trying to convince to come, is Dabo Swinney.

I personally don’t think Dabo would leave, but OU is apparently offering him a $12m deal to coach at OU, and lead them into the SEC.

I guess we’ll see where this is going. Dabo is number 1 on the list, Fickell is 2nd, and then it becomes unknown from my source where Lanning (UGA) and Venables are.

Dave Aranda is on the list but not high up because OU believes he isn’t leaving.


Edit: I should add that Rhule is on the list, but I don’t actually think he’s interested.
