Hot seats are glowing red!!!!

Jeff Capel, Oklahoma
Season: 13-17; Career: 95-68
Verdict: Fair, but deserving of another year


While most are paying attention to the awful performances on the floor the past two years, the empty seats and the pending NCAA findings may ultimately run the coach out of town. Capel was brought in to clean things up, then win. He did both. But then Willie Warren and the best recruiting class in the country derailed the Sooners. Capel entertained several coaching vacancies when he was hot; now he would probably take the next flight to a BCS-level job. Considering their run in with the NCAA, combined with the completely apathetic Sooners faithful, it appears the end may be near. Capel's team competed every game and, with some incoming talent, he has earned another year. Whether he gets it ...

Yeah, WW could have left with Blake and probably gone in top 15 area, but came back to try and lead and show he could be the go-to-guy. He got injured early, never really fully recovered and had to try and compete with TMG and a 6'10 guard named Tiny.
 
People don't lump WW w/ Tiny & TMG because of his play on the court.
 
If you think about it, it is probably their fault for having girlfriends. Willie Warren = Rookie; Delonte West = Veteran.
 
For whatever reason WW's attitude wasnt good. Considering that he came back to lead, he failed big time at that. However, with tmg I'm surprised that anybody on the team kept a good attitude. I'm sure that Tiny didnt like playing with him. tmg didnt like sharing the spotlight and often wouldnt throw it to Tiny even when open.

it's called being immature, a trait that he still shows now that he's in the NBA. For all the cred that Elite 8 team gets Willie's actions threatened to throw it all down the drain. If it wasn't for Blake getting the team together that year it coulda ended almost as bad as last year.
