How would one feel if Fran Fraschilla was the next coach

[thegreyghost]

would that be Lavinesque

 

[seniorsooner]

Worse

 

[colston15]

According to some sooner scoops he's in the running.

 

[AdaSooner]

Wouldn't mind at all if Fran got the job. He's a good coach with the personality and national recognition OU needs. He also has the experience and media connections that could serve him well in recruiting.

 

[StoopsBros]

If NIT is your goal, hire Fran.

 

[Tundrasooner]

I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't officially hire him for about a week or two and let him go recruit huggins style without any NCAA limitations.

 

[j2d2]

I dont think New Mexico Sooner thinks much of him.

FF is the wow factor?

 

[greenbug]

omg....NO NO NO NO. R U guys serious? this is getting worse

 

[colston15]

Not sure why OU fans would expect there to be a big "wow" factor with the new coach. We're not exactly a "wow" program. Very solid, but not "wow."

 

[One More Rebound]

Dude is 52 years old. He hasn't coached since 2002. Pass.

 

[piehole]

Majerustastic

 

[soonerbms]

The guy's a good broadcaster, but he's been out of coaching for like 10 years. No thanks!

 

[Seymore Cox]

This is something that is in the realm of possibility. He has recruiting connections to Texas and Europe. I'm ok with it.

 

[NMSooner'80]

I don't hate the guy, but I think he'd be a terrible fit (much like at UNM).

 

[JustOkSooner701]

Out of the game WAY to long

 

[Romulus]

very interesting hire, high risk high reward. Too risky for Joe C right now I'd think

 

[Big Old Booger]

I think Fran would be a good hire. He won games at manhattan and the johnnies and he does have a dynamic personality. I love him as a commentator, so I could see parents of prospects loving him too.

 

[seniorsooner]

It really blows my mind that some of you think this would actually be a good hire. Good lord I'd rather have Capel every day and twice on Sunday than Fraschilla. Are our standards really that low?

Yeah, I am with you on this one. I'm a fan of his as an announcer, but I don't see him being a good hire at OU.
