if he were talking about CW it would be a nice dig, just talking about what's not needed on D though
I like how he entered the portal and immediately grabbed Dillion which threw the Williams camp off guard because "apparently" they were still considering us. Even if they weren't it was awesome to show them they aren't bigger than the program by immediately filling his spot

not going to hold a program like OU hostage, that's for sure

BV & co. clearly weren’t caught off guard. They saw the writing on the wall and made a plan to go get Dillon before CW entered the portal. That’s what enabled us to keep our heads above water when CW left. Good job by the coaches.

They got too used to TBOW bending over backwards to be held hostage and thought every coach would.
Wouldn't it be great if Gabriel won the Heisman this year and Caleb Williams has a bad year? DG gets lots of pub and play in the National Championship game and USC have a losing season.
Rattler be the SEC newcomer of the year too. Wonder what CW Pops would think about that? LOL.
The question is who will enforce those guardrails. The spineless NCAA sure won't...
The problem that most of the media and fans are ignoring is that the Supreme Court basically told the NCAA the would lose in court if they tried to restrict NIL. There is probably a way, but too many of the NCAA schools want to pretend that these are all amateur student-athletes while cashing multimillion dollar checks the schools make off the kids name, image, and likeness.
I suspect that the schools and/or the NCAA could have the players assign their NIL rights and then manage them as a block. As long as they pay the kids, it should work. Kind of like the grant of rights for the conferences. But that would take someone thinking like a business person and not an academic trying to exploit the kids.
Yeah, if you want something to work better...let the government get a hold of it.
kind of a catch 22 here imo- you certainly don't want the gov't regulating things to death but allowing the inmates to run the asylum isn't an attractive choice either
there has to be a way to make this playing field a level one or this CFB product will be completely unrecognizable in short order

I do not believe for a second that the Williams family considered coming back when CW entered the portal. I think the only way there would've been that chance was if OU magically put up more money than the others. CW said OU getting Gabriel is what pushed him away. That's a load of BS. He's smart enough to know that he can't expect to put the new coaches in that position, and BV made that clear entering the portal means you are not committed to the program. Further, he's like the NFL player who gets some huge, record-breaking contract who disingenuously says, "It wasn't about the money." 🐎 💩
I also don't believe it was coincidence OU moved on Dillon Gabriel so quickly after CW entered the portal. OU sent a message...not so much to Caleb but more to the current players and future players. They sent a message that no one player is bigger than the program, everyone is replaceable, OU is just fine without CW, they'll get someone else who is just as capable, and anyone who attempts to leverage their position by entering the portal is wasting their time here and better plan on going elsewhere.
It's quite clear who the boss is. I think that message was well-received by the remaining players.
