Fire Porter Moser

[AnotherSoonerInTX]

The coaching carousel is light this year. A lot of schools are making the same decision. The pool of quality candidates is small....the best candidates moved in the last year or two. I don't know if we can get an upgrade from Porter this year.

The model of college athletics has changed and will continue to be fluid until the powers that be can agree on how to control costs while staying within the law. This will probably involve legislation which no one can agree on yet.

Rogers and Atak 50/50
Holst you assume is back

Retaining 6-7-8 is a good start.

Find your studs and play as hard as we did the last 13 games

But we never play that hard for a whole season under Loser. That’s part of the problem, along with his terrible defense, awful rotations, lack of adjustments, and putrid inbounds plays.

If Sooners miss the tournament again, maybe Denny will reconsider but I doubt it, but this is not a very good start for Denny as the new athletic director

Jones has no eligibility

No the fans will not come back for more frustrating mediocrity.

I’ll be there but I’m admittedly a degenerate

Yep awful start. There’s literally no upside to keeping him other than saving a few bucks that will be more than offset by the completely empty arena.

Jones has no eligibility

He does, he medically redshirted last year as a junior. He has one season left.

i don't think we need $10mil to succeed.
this roster was pretty good for the reported $6.5mil ...if that is accurate.
problem is......moser might need $25mil to succeed......and that's not even a guarantee.
that's why he should be fired.

Like in other sports, the SEC is drunk when it comes to spending. Kentucky spent more than $20 million on a roster that got a 9 seed in the SEC tournament. Most of the other schools are spending $10M or more. This will only go up.

LSU and Ole Miss went all in on football, and their hoops NIL shows it. I don't know what SCar is doing other than spending on women's hoops.

I guess the new standard is a guy who can reliably take us to the bubble

 

[daqman]

There’s no guarantee we keep any of these guys.

didn't suggest we would.
but it was a very good roster for $6.5mil

If we make the tournament, which I don't expect we do, I was fine with putting the buyout money toward the roster. If we get left out, I expect to get massacred in the portal like we did after the year 3 snub.

I had a source that told me this was a real possibility. I got mocked for saying it repeatedly but now everyone knows it is reality.

 

[WTSooner]

I’m really not surprised. Disappointed but not surprised.

This.

Takes Moser too long to figure out his teams. New roster next year, I can’t imagine it’ll gel right out the gate. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

But worst of all, Moser has lost the support of students and all but the die-hard fans. Probably be 500 people at the first home game next year against NE Valley State, regardless of who we sign this offseason.

At least the gap between OU football ending and OU baseball starting is pretty small.

All you can do is support the coach and program, hopefully the NIL talk by Denny is real. This team was talented and fun to watch when they had it going. Woulda coulda shoulda.

 

[AnotherSoonerInTX]

There's a lot of PR spin here, but I also appreciate Roger owning his part in raising money to make the program successful.

"But an underdog spirit will only take us so far. It’s my job to ensure that our resources match our expectations. We haven’t held up our end of that bargain. From NIL to staffing and beyond, we’re going to fix that."

The small group of people will mock you for this post as well. Doesn't matter if what you say is true or not to them. I argued with that same group that said we'd win 6 games in football, and rather than admit they were way off, they just dug their heels in further. They just cited Cignetti as their example instead of Lincoln Riley. Similar to how they've moved on from Tang to the next flavor of the month.

We do not have to support the coach.

That’s not how the money works.

The funds for coaches and operations are not the same as the funds for the revenue sharing and neither of those are the same as the outside funds for true NIL. OU will not be taking from one of those to pay another.

An underdog spirit? That’s total bull****.

I don't think it's just a money issue there needs to be some sort of general manager that takes off roster management for the coaches. The only way we were able to salvage the end of the season was that we basically found 8 guys that were just enough to play positive minutes to win games. You need better roster construction and that is harder to do in this era with the way players move. We have key players we probably paid quite a bit like Atak and Rogers that basically couldn't cut it at the SEC level. Maybe we get that now and have something in place that can last past Moser and make the program better.
