including a comment recently how you didn't like the hire at the time.
Find that post, and I won't post for 2 weeks.
You won't find it though, b/c the opposite is true. I was the most excited regular poster on the board the night the hiring was announced. I stayed up until about 2am defending the hire, from those that thought we should be able to get any coach who's name wasn't Williams/Self/Calhoun. It's funny, b/c alot of the posters that have been Capel's biggest supporters the last 2-3 seasons, weren't on board anywhere near as much as I was initially.
Has my opinion changed? A bit. It is no secret that I've been disappointed in the end result of pretty much every season except last year. Whether that is right or wrong, it is my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I still think hiring Capel was probably the right move at the time. That is really impossible to evaluate not knowing who else might have been available though. That said, just b/c at the time I thought it was a good hire, doesn't mean I have to feel that way 4 years down the road. Assuming OU wins more than 3-4 games in the Big 12 this year, I'm willing to let next season play out before suggesting Capel isn't going to cut it at OU.
But as I said above, find where I said I was against the hire from the beginning. I never said that. What I've said, since that first season, is that there have been several things I've been disappointed in, once coach had taken over at OU, that I've seen since his first few games.
