Herman needs to get his head out of his a$s and stop being so damn arrogant. Just call the damn plays yourself and strip Beck of duties/ It was so obvious when Herman started calling plays on Saturday cause we went right down the field and scored on Maryland with up tempo and didn't run it anymore after that
“It's been great. We were actually talking about that in our staff meeting this morning, just continuing to bring in great walk-ons,” said coach Lincoln Riley. “It's something we believe in a lot. It's something we're really working hard at, and I think if you're a walk-on guy out there that maybe is like Lee Morris that got overlooked, this is a program you can look at and say, ‘I can go in and get an opportunity, and if I do what I'm supposed to do, then I can get an opportunity to play and earn scholarship and do all the things a lot of those guys have done.’
“I think we've got lucky that we have had some guys who want to play here but the staff has also worked hard on those guys, and it's an important part of our program without a doubt.”
At Oklahoma, there isn’t a difference between who is on scholarship and who isn’t.
During practice, two groups are separated in order for everyone to get repetitions. It's something that started with former head coach Bob Stoops and continued into the Riley era.
It’s the reason Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield stayed ready. The reason two-year starting center Erick Wren was able to win a starting job, and the reason three former (redshirt seniors Nick Basquine and Myles Tease; Morris) and one current walk-on wide receiver (Stoops) were highlighted in the depth chart ahead of Oklahoma’s game against UCLA.
“First of all, you give them an opportunity. We do two groups in practice so everybody gets reps — it doesn’t matter who you are,” said offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh. “That’s the one thing here, I’m not saying other places you don’t, but those guys really get an opportunity. If you walk-on here, you’re going to get an opportunity to get reps. Every guy that we have here is getting reps.”
There isn’t a shaming session when scholarship players meet and work with walk-ons. They all see each other the same.
I wanted to show you this, because this is how an actual Head Coach should act. You know good and damn well, as cocky and arrogant as Herman is, there is no way this sh*t goes down in his practice.
God I love rooting for OU. Such a classy a$s team, and a classy football club.
Another thing, that's why every recruit that comes here talks about OU like they're family. You never hear that with Texsa and Herman. It's just crazy man.
