Interesting insight here in a Q&A with George Stoia, who covers Oklahoma for on3:
Q: I honestly think one of the big things standing in the way of a decent season is BV having someone to help him with game management. Who on this staff could or should be that guy?
A: Actually, it sounds like OU is looking to hire someone specifically for game management. I’m not sure who that would be or what their title would be — some sort of analyst — but this person would be in Venables’ ear helping him with in-game decisions. They have talked to several candidates for that position.
