It is amusing to me that Sooner fans criticized Sutton for years for his drinking and now they want to hire Gillespie. Incredible!!!

Geno Auriemma was hired as the head coach of women's basketball at the University of Connecticut in the summer of 1985. He had served 4 years as an assistant coach under Debbie Ryan at the University of Virginia. Auriemma was inheriting a Husky program that had just one winning season in its 11-year history.

His first season the Huskies went 12-15
his record after 3yrs was 43-39
didn't make tourney until his 4th yr
didn't make a final four until year 6
didn't win a championship until year 10

I think its safe to say he built the program, and the reason he gets the talent is because of the success he created.

On the amazing side he was won at least 30 games every year since 93-94 except 98-99 (29-5) & 04-05 (25-8 coming off 3 straight NCAA championship seasons).

OU doesn't have that long to rebuild. Needs to be quicker.

O-State's been pretty good under Gundy. A lot better than I ever thought they'd be.

I agree. I don't get the shot at Gundy. He has done a really good job at OSU. Whether you like or dislike Gundy one thing is certain, the guy wins. When he was the quarterback OSU won a lot of games. Now that he is head coach OSU is winning a lot of games. I think prior to his team (as a coach) winning a bunch of games the last two seasons he led the team to its most victories as a player. You can say it was Thurman Thompson, Barry Sanders or Hartley Dykes all you want but Gundy was the QB of those teams.

If that type of success is coming down the line for us I'll be as patient as anyone who ever lived.
