Coach O resigns

Front page of Soonersports.com. It continues.

sigh.

 

[SoonerNorm]

Hire a defensive guru who can recruit.

 

[Escape Goat]

I will miss his unibrow.

Is this a sign of things to come? Coach Cape next? Will OU even field a team next season? Sigh.

 

[seniorsooner]

Strange. I really hope this doesn't affect our current recruiting efforts.

wonder if this may have a connection with the sitler story...??

We sure as heck better hope not.

 

[NickZepp]

Wow this doesn't sound good for the Gallon thing.

Please God, no more... just make it stop already...

 

[Big Old Booger]

This is a good move. Coach O hasn't been an assistant on many winning teams. We need someone who can do more than recruit...need somebody who can help coach and frankly, during the games, O looked clueless.

 

[coolm]

dang - this is getting ugly.

 

[Cheno]

I got a bad feeling about this one. Let's hope this goes over quickly.

I believe that it is.

I hate to come in after the fact and act like I knew what was going on, because I don't get much "inside info". That being said, I had heard from a source Tuesday that the alleged assistant in that article was going to turn out to be Taliaferro who was involved in this Tiny situation.

I didn't want to believe it at the time but now that this news is out, coupled with what I had heard, things are not looking good. I hope like hell I'm wrong.

If this is true and his "resignation" is due to the Tiny situation, then Jeff should be gone, too. How does the head coach not know what his assistants are doing?

damn, for once I agree with Boog

If the situation turns ugly, it may be time for the coach and the AD to move on.

I agree, and I am a big fan of Jeff. But this is 100 times worse than anything Kelvin had happen. And if Jeff is fired/resigns our next coach will have a tough time doing anything.

I know WW said not to lump him in with Tiny's mess, but he pretty much just went where Coach O was going. I'm not a real big conspiracy theorist, but a bunch of rumors and such just seem to really fit into a nice picture here. There was the rumor of TMG wanting to get paid (i think a post from his facebook) and is it perhaps because Tiny got paid by this runner/agent and did Coach O kind of set the whole thing up. I don't know if Capel makes it past the summer now.

 

[Seymore Cox]

He was the lead recruiter on Jones. It's not a good sign overall.

I think the only thing saving Capel's job right now is that he might have not known about it. If Joe Castiglione had information Capel knew about this, I think it would've been Capel also resigning today. Then again, the case could be made that it doesn't matter if he knew about it or not. Honestly, I think it's getting to that point.
