Bruce Weber?: Tulsa World

[seniorsooner]

I just tweeted him:

MatthewG918 @BrianABirchell hope you've got a good source, because you just ignited a firestorm

lol

looks like i picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

how depressing.

Good Lord some of you are incredibly picky!! Beggars can't be choosers and right now we are one of the programs in worst shape in a BCS conference. To get a guy like Bruce Weber who's been to a Final Four would be a pretty decent hire. No it's not Tom Izzo, but come on!



He's got the #11 class on ESPN. Looks like a lot of Chicago guys.

Okay I'm really interested :woot

Oh man, really not a fan of this.

I'll add you to the list...

Our administration doesn't care?! You sure about that?

Let's see... our admin has built some of the best facilities in the country, provided a top 5 recruiting budget, and shown they will pay upwards of 2 million per year for a coach.

Our admin has done what they need to do. But our fans with your attitude have shown they don't care unless we're winning... problem not solution.

ARROGANCE! The year of the fan. LOL How old is the LNC? 1975? At least Michigan considered their fans when they renovated their football stadium. A mandatory donation is nothing but a personal seat license. OU athletics is a business just like the NBA/NFL and the fans need to treat it accordingly.

I really don't know about this? Is this a good hire or is this a bad hire? I'm torn, I really am.

I am not picky. I would have been able to talk myself into anyone, from Terry Evans to Jim Cleamons to Dave Rose to Johnny Jones.

I really, really do not want to have to root for Bruce Weber.

The media isn't going to have it pegged ahead of time. Rejoice, it's not Bruce Weber.

 

[red recluse]

for me, it's not his recruiting. he was handed a team that should have won the national championship, but coached them out of it by jacking up 3 after 3. and he has trended downward since.

Agreed, this is a comatose hire. A real sleeper, if true.

Could end up being baloney, but these appears to be the strongest rumors yet. I may be mistaken but I don't remember a "legitimate" source sticking their neck out this far before.
