Fire Porter Moser

I’d disagree because there are lots of coaches in smaller leagues with almost no NIL budget to speak of.

So you're saying you'd be excited to hire a guy from a smaller conference that let's say....

Was top 2 in conference each of the last 4 years and had a Final 4 and Sweet 16 run to go along with it?

SEC is different. It's not the same as the MVC.

Nope, as lots of people have pointed out, the failure with Moser that lots of us overlooked, myself included, is that his body of work was awful. He had a good run due to a few players in one recruiting class after 15 mostly crappy years.

Of course it’s different. Yet all sorts of coaches who got their starts in lesser leagues succeed when they get to a power conference. Very few coaches just start out as a power conference coach. People who think Moser isn’t a failure because he came from a lesser league. He is a failure because he is a bad coach.
 
Well, look at our current roster. I’d say with just an average coach, we would have three or four more wins. We had better talent than ASU, both Mississippi schools, and arguably A&M. And even though Bama is better than we are, we had control of that game multiple times, including when we had the ball and a 6-pt lead with under four minutes to play. Regardless of whether the article about where our NIL stacks up in the league is true, the reality is that we somehow snagged four highly coveted players in one year in the portal. Say what you will about past season, this season has absolutely nothing to do with a lack of NIL.
We snagged those players with NIL. Are you really this dense? Arguing for arguments sake? We spent more money this year to get better players, thus leaving no doubt what the real problem has been, moser.

You admit NIL isn’t the problem after we increased NIL to a competitive level.
 
SIAP, 4 days old but...

Not an attack on you TEvans, but what does that even mean? Does it mean that Trilly has inside info and knows something is in the works with the OU admin? Because any moron could deduce that Moser would be on the "hot seat" with his performance. And also, what does the "hot seat" really mean at OU, anyway? Will OU ever actually do anything? A hot seat without doing anything means nothing..

You don’t even make sense.

Do you judge Saban by his time at Michigan State? Or Lane Kiffin for his time at Tenneessee and USC? Lon based on his time at Pan American?

Moser hire hasn't worked out, but he'd been excellent in his 4 years leading up to the hire, which is more relevant than what happened 20 years ago.

We likely wouldn't land anybody that has a 10-20 year track record of consistently making the Sweet 16.

Agree, we are going to need to find a younger guy… hopefully can build some stuff
 
For the next coach, I’m hoping we can find someone who has out coached his peers. In other words, someone who has a very good conference record and an occasional upset. I have no problem going to the mid major level for a coach as long as they have that. If you can’t consistently beat teams at your level, you should NOT be in the running. This all seems straight forward, but hindsight has shown this was overlooked at the time we hired Moser and I would like to see us not make that same mistake again.
