Anyone truly believe that quality coaches would line up for the OU job?
Yes. Probably no one that the fan base has heard of, and not one that would excite the fan base. But OU is still in the SEC, and any coach worth his salt would like to get to a power conference, especially the B1G or the SEC.

We won't get the top available coach (probably Josh Schertz of Saint Louis). We'll be able to get a good coach, though.

Quite a jump from the Southland to the SEC. But, he's been in the SEC for a long time as an assistant. We could get him cheap and with very little buyout.

I could be wrong, but McNeese probably has more resources than anyone else in their conference. There, that means they probably have a little bit of NIL and some of their competitors have none.

Looks like he's maintaining what Will Wade started. Easier said than done, even in a weak conference.

Good to see you're alive ABD

Quality coaches? Yes. We can’t compete for elite, established coaches, but there are always quality coaches that are relative unknowns. Sampson and Tubbs were both coaching at lesser schools and became HOF coaches at OU. Plenty of good coaches to choose from.

The question isn’t if ou can find a good up and coming coach. The question is can ou retain them if they show their worth?

Hell I’m at 3/4 chubber reading this stat sheet!! Let’s get this dude

I’m okay with taking that chance. If a coach is attractive to be lured to a bigger, blue-chip program after success here, it means that coach has elevated our program to much greater heights than it is now. And at that point should be attractive to plenty other candidates.

A win-win and worth the risk. Much better off than we are now.

Yes. OU can't keep a coach from going to a blueblood. Kelvin, with all his trouble at the end, went to Indiana. But if a coach does consistently well at OU, OU will pay to keep him.

If another school comes after our coach, that means we're having success we haven't had in a while. That's a win-win.

Kelvin left OU because the relationship with JoeC and admin soured after they threw him under the bus for the texting scandal, which was completely ridiculous.

i believe if joe c had backed kelvin 100% "with all this troubles"....he would still be coaching ou today...and probably would have won a
national championship.
