Welcome to 2025, but OU is in the same position it was to close out 2024. Still searching for those oh-so necessary answers from the transfer portal.

Head coach Brent Venables and staff have been busy. But busy won’t cut it right about now. It’s about results, as Venables reminds us very often. A results-based business.

The Sooners need to get some good ones in the days ahead. And now we’re getting an idea of what a front office might look like.

It’s the first Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop in 2025. Come along for the ride, it’ll be anything but boring.

Murdock summary:

On this episode of the Unofficial 40, we are talking about the changes to Oklahoma football from a General Manager perspective. Chuck Lillie is leaving for a GM role with West Virginia and everyone wants to know what that means. We are diving into OU’s plans for the future as the football program will develop a front office structure more similar to the NFL. What that means and who that affects are questions that still need to be answered. But we breakdown what we know and what that means for the future of OU football and college sports in general.

With the outflow of players to the portal, we’re also starting to get a feel for what the team is going to look like next season. A lot of unanswered questions there too at certain positions. But we feel pretty good about the overall strength of this roster as things stand today. One player we’re still waiting on to declare his future is R Mason Thomas. He put out an interesting video today. And Michael Fasusi shined this week during Under Armour practices. Josh tells us what that means moving forward. And we have some general CFP discussion to round things out.

All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
