A four day football festival will break out in Dallas this week as the SEC welcomes Oklahoma and Texas ahead of the 2024 season.
DALLAS, TX — Three years ago, SEC Media Days became ground zero for a seismic shift in college athletics.Toe won’t meet leather for another month and a half, but the SEC newcomers are ready for their first Media Day as the new kids on the block.
The greatest college football coach the sport has seen exited stage left, and the Crimson Tide hired Kalen DeBoer fresh off leading his Washington Huskies to the national title game. A year ago, a bid to Atlanta would have been the bare minimum for any team to hope to play for a national title. This year, a three-loss SEC team will surely still get consideration to play football late in December.Texas A&M brought back former defensive coordinator Mike Elko to take the program in a new direction, and former Oklahoma offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby was hired by Mississippi State.
And while Josh Heupel and Shane Beamer are familiar with the SEC, the pair of former OU assistants will be back in the same conference with the Sooners for the first time and both will make the trek to Norman to take on Oklahoma this year. Then, Ted Roof was jettisoned in favor of a Venables protégée, Zac Alley, meaning the Sooners have new coordinators on both sides of the football as well as a new starting quarterback in Jackson Arnold.
