Who is arguing this? Everyone knows your position by now. Maybe sit the next few plays out?

I'll give serious consideration to your houghts on this, Sir.

So basically the same list we have for OU. lol

 

[WTSooner]

I wonder if there might not be another option out there more similar to the Kruger hiring. Somebody more established with a proven track record. To fit that and to come to OU, they'd likely be in need of a fresh start, be in a bad spot post-recent conference realignment, or maybe have ties to the area or this part of the country. I don't have any examples, but I imagine there might be folks that want to try their hand in the SEC.

Best example I can think of, and I know it's not happening with him specifically, but somebody like McDermott. He's been at Creighton for a while. Pretty average regular season results, though he has had recent post-season success. Coach in waiting that might be chomping at the bit.

Might be more competition for those younger guys who are likely all still a shot in the dark as far as if they will be successful long-term. I wouldn't be shocked if they tried to go this route, but it's likely a VERY limited list.

I seriously doubt Schertz will leave his current job for ksu or ou.

I seriously doubt Schertz will leave his current job for ksu or ou.

I don't think there is any chance he stays at St. Louis next year.

Doesn't mean he'll end up at OU or KSU, but he won't be at St. Louis.

I hope they give Eric Konkol a call. Really impressive what he’s doing at Tulsa

[mict085]

Those guys are on everyone’s top 3 list, including OU. Shertz and Calhoun will have their pick of the best offers.

I’d take their coach in waiting in a heartbeat. Big Alan Huss fan

I'd pump the brakes on him. They are having a solid season but they do one thing well and that is shoot the 3. He needs to show that a) he can do it for more than one season, and b) he can put a complete team on the floor.

Edit: Their Ken Pom ratings on both offense and defense are nearly identical to ours.

Obviously would never be an option for OU, but is interesting Nebraska did this after also extending him last year. Makes you think jobs like Kansas could open and Nebraska knows it.

Think KU opens? Self ready?
