Now are we going to have to call the Cheetah position the “Alley Cat”
That's a great name! 👍
I like it!
Thems the rules!
🔥🔥🔥
Not hard to out do any defense at Ou in the last decade 😅
Alley is the Lincoln Riley of defensives.
Nailing it gents! Excellent work here!
Roof hit the portal?
Traded a Roof for an Alley let’s go
@@brockcastleberry1154lmao
More like the portal potty
Hahaha
@kylestewart8354 On3 has him ranked as a 2* with a suitcase icon I guess that means he has lots of baggage
Two years ago Alley was on 247's, 30 under 30 as a rising star. He has made the programs he was at better. That's the point.
How long did it take TBOW to find the Grinches replacement.
I think Todd Bates is content. Good money. Good program. He will wait for the Natty. Then bolt
I agree Bates strikes me as a guy like BV and will only take a HC job somewhere he knows it's the right place
Good pod. I have the same questions you had about Bates. And how does he feel about a guy with way less skins on the wall being brought in to be a DC.....
I think this a great hire and BV realizes that paying attention to ALL of your players (Cayden Green) is something that is a must in today's college football. He can do that with this hire.
Lincoln Riley was 32 or 33 when he took over OC at OU, coming from East Carolina U.
You mean TBOW
An even better comparison is Brent Venables. He was 29 when he came to OU as co-DC.

Pinkey Shyley is my call on that dickhead.
Why am I thinking this is low-key a home run hire?
Me too. That’s why Nick Saban and Kirby Smart have been very successful because they hired young guys as coordinators
Alley gets the best returning group in the nation on defense and he has BV to make sure everything goes well. If Ted Roof could do it, Alley will be pretty dang good
I thought holding Cincinnati to 6 points meant Roof was a genius?
BV and Alley seem alot like BV and Bob in the early days of kstate.
that’s what i was thinking
Do we know who BV goes to for advice - mentoring - counsel???
We will see
There are a lot of people in the Oklahoma program, players and coaches alike, that seem to be poised to take that leap that could be the difference in taking the program from really good to great.
Curious about your thoughts on this thought…it seems worth noting that a slew of guys on defense opted to stay and then the DC is fired. I wonder if all of those dudes knew, or even suggested, that Roof be gone?
Interesting. However I do think that the key there is that they all opted to stay before bv went through with parting ways with roof. If he did that before, things would be up in limbo and we probably lose some of those guys to the nfl.
I don’t know those guys who stayed personally. But I feel like I know enough about them that this change at DC wouldn’t have affected their decision.
It's Venables who they are signing up for, not Roof. I think we needed to get a young, fiery type of DC to relate more with these players.
yes i was confused on why roof got the job. ready for ZA ERA
Roof has been to 17 schools in 36 years 😵💫
That's gotta be hard
Ted Roof is 60 yrs old
🔥
i could see zach be put as just LBs coach and jay and todd be co’s like joe jon and seth. i could see zach being more like chavis
No. Go and watch some of the Jackson state games. This guy is good. He's definitely going to be running the defense.
I don’t believe Jay, Hall, Bates want to be DC right now.
I like the hire. Also, I did not think George had that much arm hair.
BV finally coming to his senses. Now beg for Gundy to return and finish this.
What do you mean by “finally “ coming to his senses?? fyi- Gundy isn’t returning. Nobody here knows the exact reason for his firing. We all know it was around a word that he said repeatedly that a player was writing down on the tablet that belong in a song lyric vs football stuff. That has been said. But everyone wants to speculate something else. But what we don’t know is the context of Gundy’s rant. We don’t know if BV had talks him on other accusations on the subject. For BV to bring him back wound go against his principles in his actions and conviction on the topic 100%. Cale is happy not in the situation but in his life. He’s said it many times. BTW I don’t know a position that is open that Cale would make better.
Why hasnt the school announced Zack Alley
I don’t think the hire is finished yet. The reports probably came out when they started working out a contract
Looking forward to next year !! Boomer!!
OU defense won’t be top 20 defense next year simply because the schedule is so tough
Different approach that we should all embrace the man is a FOOTBALL 🏈 NERD 🤓
I heard in October that he was retiring Ted is not that that good
3 or 4 man fronts?
Yes.
It's a 5 year plan imho
16:30 bobble head lol
I hope they promote from within for the other Co Defensive coordinator.
What "Other" co-d are you talking about? There won't be one.
What "Other" Co-D coordinator are you talking about?
Word on the street; the Scoop gear is so poorly made the employees refuse to wear the scoop logo
So they didnt raise the Roof
this is underrated 🤦🏼♂️😂
Or maybe they raised the roof too much and the Roof blew away in the Oklahoma wind? 🤔
Got to give coaches a little time and grace ! I suspect Alley will be an excellent hire for BV !! He has not coached top players before so we will see ?
Motion to name his Defense “The Black Alley”
😂 great birther comment. Top notch 😂
BV created a menu, he's setting the table, we gonna cook..BOOMER
People are questioning his age… he’s the same age as BV was when Bob hired him. Age is truly just a number. Alex Grinch is 43 and he’s horrific 😂. Nobody thought Ted Roof was the long term answer. He was always brought here to help install the defense, never be the long term DC
Zac Alley is young, hungry like a wolf. They call him Brent venables Jr. LOL
In coach Brent I trust.
Boomer SOONER!
Not a sexy hire on the surface but a lot less expensive and everything that glitters isn’t gold. I had never heard of TBOW but no can honestly say he can’t coach offense. By take away after this pod is that Alley puts emphasis on the D backs being the backbone but Venables has always said it’s the LB’s.
I can’t help but think that other influences are at work outside the athletic department.
This is a BV guy.
Do tell…
Since you know so much go ahead and tell
I hope Zach didn't act like TBOW.
Eddie wearing LL Bean? A definite sign that Cary is cheap when employees are not wearing the Scoop gear.
Eddie, you should hit the portal.
Speak for yourself dan Kennedy leave Eddie alone
I'm so glad Eddie has someone to defend him. I thought there would be more.
Media guys and fans are so damn clueless as to how a staff functions.
How do they function?
Let us know then, don't drop it here and not explain what you meant!
