U40: Breaking down the new coaching salaries, final signing day coming

The Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant is back just after the OU Board of Regents awarded Lincoln Riley a new long-term contract worth $6.5 million per year. We found out how much Alex Grinch is making as well. He's now the highest paid assistant coach in OU history. We also talk about the rest of the staff, the future with Bill Bedenbaugh and Ruffin McNeill. There's plenty of off the rails discussions from QB1 contacting us about Spencer Rattler, and a world first (we think) audio only podcast of a shoe unboxing. Josh and Bob also take us through the latest in recruiting which includes a big junior day coming up. Who will the Sooners sign Wednesday? And where are the Sooners on the recruiting trail right now.
