My backup QB is better than your backup QB? what a year....
I'd be lying if i say i felt bad for OU.....but I dont get the dumping on Stoops. Sure, it's been another down year but until you miss a bowl game, you're fine!
It's his asst coaches, OC and DC that are the problem. But Bob is loyal to a fault. At this point and time who else would want those guys and if so why. Bob is as good as it gets for the most part. Fans some times expect too much. The year Bradford got knocked out could have been a big one and you can't blame that on him. Who expected that win against Bama in the bowl. He is worth the money but he needs to replace those asst coaches.
The 3-4 defense is a real problem for coaches who don't know how to run it. We know Mike Stoops isn't going anywhere because he's family. But they need to get rid of coaches like Kish, Wright and bring in some coaches who specialize in the 3-4, including drafting players who fit that defense. It's a totally different scheme than the 4-3, and you have to draft players who fit it. Right now we don't have those players. Striker was a terror last year in the 4-3. You never even hear his named called this season because he's no longer a blitzer in this scheme. They need to demote Huepel back down to QB coach where he was doing a good job before, and bring in a hot new OC that can give this offense an identity. Right now OU doesn't know if they want to be a QB read option team or a Mike Leach type of offense. That's not going to fly against the better teams in the conference.It's his asst coaches, OC and DC that are the problem. But Bob is loyal to a fault.

Did they let you out on parole?So Russ 1945 says it is the assistant Coaches and Coordinators fault. GOSooner says that OU has to decide what type of offense they want to run and get the proper type of personnel to play the new 3-4 defense because little bro is not going anywhere. What I get out of this is that Stoops has to start making some decisions. Is this basically the case in Norman? By the way, Colleges "sign" players. The NFL "drafts" players.
I expected Thomas to be in consideration for the Heisman after playing Tech, but unfortunately the Sooners OC who is short changed in the brains department decided to open the game up passing the ball all over the place with a rookie QB making his first road start in windy Lubbock. Not really a good recipe for success when you have a couple stud RB's. But that's how it's been with OU all season.Every offensive player should look comfortable against Tech - on every play!
