Capel fired according to seth davis

[Northbase]

Exactly. 100% agreed.

Jeff will, in the long run, be a very successful coach, but his lack of "program control" is what did the last two years in.

Thought this was funny....

Beautiful!

Woooooow. Did not think Joe C had it in him.

That is hilarious.

Best Stoops quote ever:

"I think we'll find a way to replace 8 catches."

LOL

I still bust out laughing when I recall that. An absolutely MARVELOUS response by Stoops.

 

[soonerbms]

Woooooow. Did not think Joe C had it in him.

Sometimes, part of being a good executive is admitting a mistake and fixing it. Joe C admitted his mistake today. Now, let's see him fix it by making the right hire.

 

[Sooner_In_MI]

Yep. Now Pledger, Fitzgerald, Blair and who knows who else will leave and all of you Capel-haters will get your wish......we will win 9 games next year and finish last in the conference.

Hope you're happy.

lol

If they cant adjust to a new coach then i dont want them here...this is what happens in college basketball sometimes and as a player you have to be prepared for it...

If they want to transfer then i support that, but if they choose to stay they better buy in and play their ARSE off for the new coach...

A drastic difference than the 12 games and 10th place finishe we'd have seen with Capel in charge. I'll take the change.

Given, it's early, but it's humorous and a little telling that the news of his firing is the SECOND most read headline... right under Bob Stoops watching Boise State practice...

New coach hopefully will clean out the roster of the dead weight OU has on it's bench.
Bye, Bye Hadrick, Thompson, Honore, Newell, who else?

No one is willing to answer my question. Is it ok for kids to hold a program hostage? Should an AD do what's best in the long term best interest of a program or keep a bad coach because a couple kids may or may not transfer?

These were guys Capel was scrambling to get to fill out a roster. So if the new guy clears the roster who can he sign at this stage to replace them? Think a bunch of good players are out there waiting to sign at this late stage in the game. Next year we will most likely finish in the bottom third again.

 

[sybarite]

You intend to start by running scholarship athletes off? If that occurs, I will not be a fan of the new coach or this program.

 

[suncoastsooner]

I have severe moral issues with hiring BCG. I'd rather Terry Evans get the nod.

 

[Hollisp]

I dont think there is any doubt thats where we will finish. May have been a reason in the firing of Capel. If we are gonna be bad might as well do it with someone new.
