Don't want it, am not assuming it, but it's never seemed more of a possibility...

I want our coach to show his face. I don't want a new coach, but it sounds like our coach doesn't want to be here. I don't want to see articles in the paper about how our coach is interviewing at Clemson when he already has a job at the University of frickin Oklahoma. If we had just come off a few good seasons I could understand if he wanted to move on to his dream job. But we were 13-18 last year and now he's nowwhere to be found. I don't think I've seen his face since that interview after the OSU beating when he said he was ashamed. I would like to see him tell us that he's going to get things back on track. Not hearing that recruits are not coming to Norman for some reason and leaving us to guess why.

Is this a poll?

So the two choices are:
1. Yes I want a new coach
2. Yes I assume Capel is gone
???

last night must have been a good one for abd.
too many ifs involved. if he's actually talking to clemson on his own, i want a new coach. if it was suggested to him to look elsewhere, then it won't matter. if he wants to be at OU and do his best next year to prove last year was a mirage, then i feel he is owed as much. if there's more to the tiny situation and coach was aware of it, that's hard to take. and i really don't know at that point. but for now i voted that i'm only discussing names because i assume he's gone.

Perhaps I did not articulate that well... Almost everyone on the board is talking about possible new coaches, I am asking if they are talking about that because they want Capel fired or because they are assuming he is gone.
Perhaps you are talking about a new coach because you don't expect him to be back, but not because you think he should be fired.
Does that make sense?
I really don't want a new coach,I like Capel,but if he wants to get out of Norman we really can't stop him.The thing that is so puzzling is the silence from Joe C.& Capel,recruits canceling visits,coaches resigning,ect...Personally I would like to see Capel clean this mess up & get OU back in the top 10-15 annually..Go Sooners!!!!

If such a suggestion was made, then I don't get it.
If Joe C. feels Capel needs to be fired, then fire him. Let the world know that what's gone wrong at OU is on Capel (if that's the case) and that we won't put up with the kind of things that have gone wrong over the past few months (the Tiny mess, especially).
I have zero interest in letting Capel save face by accepting another gig, if, in Joe C.'s opinion, he deserves to be fired. It just makes OU look bad, as if we're at fault, not Capel.

Eventhough I am VERY dissapointed with this season and what is going on right now I don't really think I want Capel to leave. I think that him leaving and us loosing another recruiting class in addition to the transfers, leaving early and maybe ones kicked off would take us a decade to get over. I hope he stays and redeems himself and does great... I would take doing OK and then if he wants to move on do so in a less damaging way than what is going on now. Our chance for recuits may be running out for this year but not next year. Personally as an AD I would not be willing to spend near what he is making now on him so it would be best for him and everyone else if he worked really hard and put a good team on the floor.

I dont want Capel to leave. Call me stupid, gullible or whatever but I still believe in him and think that eventually he will become a very good coach. (It might also be me hoping that whatever is going on right now isnt as bad as it seems to be where Capel would be fired or that I just dont want to start over again)
My sentiments exactly.

I want Jeff Capel to stay at OU. That was not one of the choices in the poll, so I did not vote.

I'm with you here.
Bad crap going on everywhere, but I'd like to see Capel get another season. If he can field a team that plays to the motto "Heart, Hustle, Hardwood" I will have restored faith in him, even if we don't win 20 games.

I didn't vote either. The poll is too limited to be a legitimate assessment of how fans really feel.
This poll sort of sucks.

I want this season, with all it's rumor's, issues, and speculation, put behind us. I want to be able to discuss next years team and schedule and probable record, good or bad. If I can have that with Capel still as coach, then great. If I have to settle for having that without Capel as coach, then I can still live with it.
