Ty and Dan are joined by Eddie Radosevich from SoonerScoop.com to grade how Brent Venables did in his first season as head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. What exactly was the problem with the defense? What's the general direction of the offense? How has Venables adapted to being The Guy after decades as an assistant? Plus, a dramatic retelling of the frenetic days that saw Lincoln Riley bolt for USC and the reverberations throughout the Sooner fan base.

Ty and Dan invite Jordy Culotta from The Jordy Culotta Show on the pod to grade out Brian Kelly's first year with the LSU Tigers. What was the reaction to the infamous fake accent? How did Kelly reorganize the team and culture? How does Kelly's recruiting pitch differ from Ed Orgeron's? What are reasonable expectations for 2023 and beyond?

Ty and Dan talk with Manny Navarro of The Athletic and Wide Right Podcast about Mario Cristobal's first year with the Miami Hurricanes. How does he grade the job that Cristobal did? Who's to blame for the issues on both offense and defense? Was the job harder than Cristobal thought? How confident is he that the right guy is in charge of the Canes?
