We check in with two writers in Tampa and Norman to get a sense of what things are like in the wake of Jeff Scott's firing, and in the midst of Oklahoma tumbling to a 5-5 record in Year 1 under Brent Venables. Matt Baker covers South Florida for the Tampa Times. Eli Lederman covers Oklahoma for The Tulsa World. Baker reflects on what sealed the fate of Scott, who came close to a win at Florida earlier this season. Lederman shares what some of the complaints have been of Venables during the struggles, and answers whether Venables might have to make changes to his staff -- particularly the defensive side, which has struggled mightily with several former Clemson staffers (Ted Roof, Todd Bates, Miguel Chavis) running the show.

Hamilton city council’s decision to order a judicial inquiry into safety concerns involving the Red Hill Valley Parkway (RHVP) is costing local taxpayers a lot more than originally expected. A report presented to the general issues committee Wednesday says $6.6 million has already been spent on legal fees, data collection and other expenses. A date for the start of the public inquiry still hasn’t been set, but Eli Lederman, the city’s external consultant, says the total cost is now expected to soar as high as $12 million. When Hamilton city council voted to request the judicial inquiry in 2019, Ferguson had supported an investigation by the auditor general at a projected cost of about $350,000.
