As long as those guys aren't just there because they stuck around longer than anyone else. Too many times in the last regime it seemed like guys were playing because of seniority and/or favoritism and not performance.
i guess (under BV) being a Captain may not necessarily equate to playing/starting??
Captains aren't really captains unless they are on the field to tell the ref whether we accept a penalty, etc, and to fire up the squad when a big play is needed. Maybe we'll need to have some 'honorary captains' plus the real ones.

didn't we have a captain recently that didn't even play due to injury but was still voted in as one by the team- seems the HC is the one who either accepts/declines penalties and just signals that onto the field... idk
When Ewers struggles and Dillon is killing it, I will enjoy reading all the Whorn lamentations about why OU can just grab another QB and keep rolling and they always suck.
I have not seen Derrick post much. In the beginning Monica was a lot. When Nick signed BV said that he came from a smart family and Monica is the smartest. Everything I have heard is that they are good professional people, (Derrick a Harvard graduate) with a consistent life of faith and have raised Nick well

Caleb Kelly was a captain last year, even after he got injured and was no longer able to play. Still went on the field with the other guys. And then you also had Rattler, who was benched in favor of CW as a captain.
Everyone knows they have been making the calls for decades. The longer they run through coaches, the less desirable that HFBC job is.
Yeah, under LR our cultural problems were with the HC. Change the HC and you have a chance to change the culture. At UT the cultural problems are at the donor/AD level. No HC can fix that unless it's someone with such clout they can't interfere. About the only one that could walk in off the street and have that kind of clout is maybe Saban. And they probably couldn't hire him because he couldn't get the guarantees up front that he would have complete control
