From Clipper PR and two tweets from Emig.

"I was extremely disappointed to see them let him go after everything that happened and all of the sanctions he had to deal with, I felt he wasn't given a fair chance"

In the immortal words of coolm, "Horse Hockey!" He had two straight losing seasons for the first time in nearly forty years, interest and attendance were both in the dumps, and average recruits coming in, so not much hope to greatly improve...

If Blake hadn't gone pro, Capel would still have a job...

IF ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas...

Don't get me wrong. I love Blake Griffin. He is my favorite basketball player on the planet. That being said, who cares if he develops a grudge against the program? What's he going to do, sabotage us?

Capel is his friend, and you expect him to defend him.

 

[TakiToki]

We'll have to see how it plays out and if he winds up carrying a grudge, but Blake being unhappy with OU is certainly not a good thing for our next coach.

First, lol, and second, who cares if that happens.

Now Blake will be from OCS instead of OU in introductions.

This. Blake isn't going to turn his back on the program.

It's funny because I always heard that the Griffin brothers made fun of Capel's coaching abilities. Oh well, maybe it was friendly jousting.

Blake Griffin is the best recruiting tool OU has at the moment, he needs to be Pro OU whenever he gets the chance to help recruiting.
