The evolution of athletes realizing that they are the most important aspect of sports is starting to make it clear where people stand on this issue. There is no question that KirkHerbstreit is loyal to himself and not to the players.
A few days after the top college football analyst in the land said that this era of player doesn't love football, a few decided to do the smart thing and not play in meaningless bowl games.
If you didn't pay attention to Oklahoma football this past season, Williams had a great year. The highly-recruited freshman showed up to campus expecting to take over in the future as he was behind Spencer Rattler on the depth chart. Rattler was benched for Williams during the Oklahoma/Texas game. Williams took over for Rattler after the Sooners were down 28-7 in the Red River Shootout. Williams became the Sooners starter for the rest of the season after he racked up 300 yards of total offense and 3 touchdown in Oklahoma's 55-48 win over their rival. The freshman was going better than expected. Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma last month for USC.
Since Riley did what was best for himself and his family, Williams has decided to enter the transfer portal to see what other schools are interested in, as staying at Oklahoma is a possibility.
The hottest name on the transfer market is listening to all the offers and taking every call to figure out what works best for him. Can you imagine how angryHerbstreit is about Williams and how college players should only be playing for the love of the game?
Over the last year, he has found a way to put his foot in his mouth. In August, he claimed that college football needed a "Roger Goodell," as if the NFL's Commissioner isn't rotten to his core. He was complaining about Texas and Oklahoma announcing their decision to join the SEC as he said, "It's all about money." It is no longer about tradition.
Kirk, this is America. Everything is about money.
The coup de grce came in 2020 whenHerbstreit broke down in tears as he told white people to do better in the wake of all the racial and social unrest that occurred that year.
While being the best in the game at his job,Herbstreit is a fraud whenever he discusses anything outside the scope of what is taking place between the lines on a football field. He should be silent as he decides the best decision for "Caleb Williams". KirkHerbstreit does not do his job for love. His agent is going to get every dollar out of Disney that he can, because his contract with Disney ends this year.
