Athlon Sports ranks Kruger and Stoops Big 12's Best

The order is about right. If they included the women's basketball coach, we would fall from #1 to #2, but no further. Baylor is the champ in that scenario.

I remember something Dick Vitale said about a dozen years ago in relation to OU's football and two basketball coaches: "Bob Stoops, Kelvin Sampson and Sherri Coale - the best trifecta in America, baby!"
 
I agree with the order, too. I didn't think I would until I analyzed the rankings and realized that in schools were the football coach might be a little stronger right now, the basketball coach was dragging him down. The same is true in basketball, KU for example.

There are so many disgruntled OU football fans right now, as well as those who are still not convinced that Kruger is a good coach, I'm surprised no one has responded to protest putting the Sooners at the top of this poll. That may be a sign everyone agrees, but I doubt if that is the case. Not on this board. :ez-laugh:
