Fire Porter Moser

I thought the white smoke at LNC meant we had a new coach. I was disappointed again. The dumpster fire continues. Literally.

a few wins down the road might get PM some kind of a job and lessen the buyout pain. A win-win situation.

Yes please. That would be dream scenario.

He will be our coach through 2027-28 season.

No he won’t

 

[jdizzle34]

No he won’t

So what’s your inside info since you’re trying to make it seem like you know something definitive? If you’re just stating your opinion, that’s fine, but if you claim to have inside info, I call BS since there is no way anyone in the administration has already decided that this failure of a coach will hey two more seasons no matter how poorly he continues to coach.

Just how OU has treated the basketball program. Just let it rot in complacency, unless the NCAA comes snooping around.

They canned Capel after five seasons that included two tourney berths and an Elite 8. I know there was some NCAA stuff, but have a hard time thinking they’d give Moser seven years. And it’s not like we have had any other terrible coaches to compare him to. Lon and Kelvin and Billy were all successful, so Capel is the closest comparison we have.

If we didn’t need a HOF coach to win here, why have only HOF candidates or inductees been successful?

Well, outside of Lon, Billy and Kelvin earned their HOF credentials entirely & largely on their performance at OU. They weren't HOF locks when they came here.

If you can win at OU, you’re a lock for the HOF. That’s the pitch! That’s how we sell it.

Ironically, we do have one Naismith HOF head coach and it's none of the above (though Kelvin is a nominee for this year). Bruce Drake is OU's only Naismith representative (for his innovative offense), though hoping Blake Griffin joins him soon. Sadly, it's HOF-caliber head coach or bust. Not much different at other non-blue blood schools. Oklahoma State for example. Henry Iba, Eddie Sutton, and.....

Billy, Lon and Kelvin coached at OU when college basketball was a different sport entirely. Coaching prior to 2021 can't be compared to coaching after that date. If you want to compare Moser to other coaches, you have to look to coaches with comparable budgets and what they did with their teams in comparable leagues beginning with 2021. There might be coaches out there doing more with the same or less resources since 2021, but I don't watch enough college basketball to know who that might be.

As for this year, we have underperformed so far, but with Dayton regaining some form, Moser waking up and understanding that he needs to play atak, and the kids sort of gelling, who knows we might go on a run to the NCAA tournament. Presumably, Moser would save his job if this happens.

The game has changed, but those that were winning before are still winning for the most part, and those that were not winning before, are again, for the most part, still not winning.

Tired of the excuses. Even if OU has put Moser in a terrible position and we suck as a basketball program now, I can still tell by watching Moser and his teams that he is not a good coach, and not the coach OU needs. So that other crap doesn't even matter.

Oh, and that part is crazy talk.

We have won 3 conference games and we only need 4 more to match last year's total. How many conference games do you guys think it will take this year? Last year we got 14 teams in, and we might not get that many in this year, so it might take a better conference record.

Just stop it man, this is embarrassing.

The league is not as strong overall, not as many top-ranked/toptier teams, our non-conference was not nearly as good in wins or strength, and remaining games don't have as many top teams/ranked teams to get impressive wins. Nothing from NC schedule will help- it sucked. No marquee wins, and only a Vanderbilt win that almost wasn't.

It will take a better record this year to get in vs. last year, or an EOY winning streak. No ranked teams, as of today, left on the schedule. Maybe Tennessee will be. Based on all of that, IMO, it would take 5-1 (Loss at Tennessee), and probably 1-2 additional wins in Nashville. Go at least 7-2 or 8-2. Or winning 4 games in 4 days in Nashville.

In either case, that is almost impossible, definitely highly improbable. I believe in hope and rooting to win, but no amount of Hopium is getting them in the tourney.

Would be glad to be wrong, but it's not happening.

Your point could be worth exploring if Porter Loser's win % at OU wasn't within 0.003% of his career win percentage (.551 vs .548). This is who he is and always was.. a bum

No dude. The there’s no chance of the NCAA tournament. If you’re a Moser guy and want him to succeed then maybe they make a run in the NIT and that’s enough to save Moser’s job.
