Capel vs. Mike Anderson

[61sooner]

Seems like OU is in the same spot MU was with Anderson. Some really bad seasons early on. But Anderson kept preaching his 40 minutes of H__L system and has established himself. What is the basis of the same optimism with Capel? Is there anything in his coaching style that points to long term success? If there is, let he continue til he pulls things out of the sewer. If not show him the door, let a new coach come in clean house, dump some of the scholarship players and begin anew. If things get much it will be extremely difficult to rebuild this program for several years and a couple of more coaches.

Anderson has a system that he can recruit specific players for, Capel's teams don't have an identity.

This is year 5, its not like he just got here.

How does a coach combat losing soo many players each and every year? Hard to have an identity when you have guys go pro after 1 or 2 years, guys having disciplinary issues, and guys that just don't want to be here.

If Sampson left 2 weeks earlier, we'd have Anderson and everyone would be happy.

Mike Anderson is a great coach... he will have a consistent winner at Mizzou pretty much every year. They will have years where they have great teams. they are currently ranked in the top 15.

Mizzou was never as bad under Anderson as OU is right now under Capel. For that matter, Mizzou was better under Quin Snyder than OU is under Capel right now.

Most importantly and if nothing more, Anderson communicates his system and has his team execute his system. I challenge any Capel fan to explain his system to me. Tell what it is he is trying to accomplish at OU. While I am sure this is not accurate, the best I can tell is he is trying to destroy the OU basketball program with a system of making poor decisions in recruiting, runnig off players and have absolutely no structure to his offensive or defensive schemes.

Anderson had some bad seasons early on because the Mizzou team he inherited was one of the worst in team history, and the three players from that bad team graduated. He had nothing, basically what Capel has now. The difference is he didn't create that situation. He took a bad team and won 18 games and built a record-setting elite eight team in two years. You can't really compare that to what Capel's doing now.

You're right and i would love to have anderson right now. He has proven to be a good coach.
