Do you want a new coach? Or are you assuming Capel is gone?

[MNsooner]

This thread is dumb like a lot of what I have seen here recently. We miss out on two recruits, an assistant gets fired, and TMZ runs a story about us and all of a sudden people on the board become incapable of rational thought. Even people I usually respect a lot. I am not saying not to be upset with what is going on. We all are. I am saying that maybe we don't need a "Hire insert x coach here" thread every hour. We don't need polls that have two options that both result in firing Capel as if those are the only things anyone could be thinking. We don't need threads that are calling out for people to fire Capel over one line in a random newspaper connecting Capel to Clemson (which obviously seems to have turned out to be untrue). We don't need threads in which people wish ill of former players going pro. We don't need threads speculating on the way Joe C. looked upset while watching us lose a basketball game and what it means for the program. Etc...

I am obviously frustrated about the state of the programs. I would appreciate it if I could come to our hoops board discuss what is going on with the program and what it means for the fans as if we are adults. Instead I feel like the board has been over taken by irrational children prone to baseless speculation and rumors, more interested in guessing things we don't know than discussing things we do, and above all being purely reactionary with seemingly little thought.

Capel has shown me very little proof that he has any idea on how to run a program like the one at OU. I voted for him to be gone and if Joe C. gives him another year to continue to run this program into the ground even further, then its on Joe C.

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

I am mentioning Coach's in case Capel is indeed looking to go elsewhere. I want Capel as our coach but if he indeed interviewed for Clemson then we have to start looking at possible replacements just in case.

Same here. One of the options should have been:

I want Jeff Capel to stay and clean up his own mess. He'll be a better coach for it in the long run.
