Is capel feeling any heat?

[Big Old Booger]

If he's not feeling any heat at what point in the season does he start to feel the heat?

I emailed berry tramel earlier this last week to ask when we could expect a taco bell article about Capel? I also asked when the press would start placing the heat on Capel and he responded with a one word response: "soon".

Not sure if this means we will see a taco bell article about capel soon or if the press will start turning up the heat soon.

If we continue to lose and dont win a conference game or only win one I don't see how Joe can let him come back but those in the know claim he is coming back next year for sure. When does Joe start feeling heat to make a change?

If we lose Tuesday night the heat is going to be turned up, and fast.

What's a Taco Bell article? Never heard that one before.

 

[seniorsooner]

The Taco Bell stuff lost me also.

No chance we lose to Taco Tech. We aren't good, but Cam and crew can run circles around tech.

Joe C and Jeff will start feeling heat if they are bad next year too.

 

[Perk's Scowl]

Joe C won't feel heat for q while no matter what

What do you think...

Funny I emailed Berry too. I think everyone is beginning to see that Jeff is over his head.:Intensethompson:

I like how fans are now trying to sabotage the basketball program by starting a mutiny. Be careful what you wish for.

 

[Sooner918]

I'm a big Capel supporter, but in my opinion, if he loses against Colorado and Tech the heat should be on.

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who hated the Taco Bell drive-through diet campaign.

I agree Joe won't feel heat as in he could lose his job over this debacle, but I do believe big donors will start to place heat on Joe to make a move if at some point soon this doesn't get light years better.

The Taco Bell stuff lost me also.

Back in the day of John Blake, berry tramel wrote an editorial that basically stated John was not even qualified to manage a taco bell but was handed the best football program of the previous 50 years.

Obviously, Jeff is far more qualified than john was, and the OU basketball program is not as highly regarded as it's football program.

So my question "how long until Berry writes another taco bell article (about Jeff)" was more meant to say how long until Berry, or other local journalists write articles stating Jeff is in over his head.

I am not a big donor, but i donate. I let my season tickets go that i had has since David Little and Bo Overton this year. They were great seats, but i had no interest is driving to Norman to watch crap. So I let my money/tickets do my talking. I think others have as well since the arena is about 75% empty now. I wanted the coach Misery hired instead of Capel. I was hacked he couldn't keep Scottie Reynolds, but I was on the Capel bandwagon when he recruited Blake and WW. Last year guys leave after one season, this year they leave before playing a game. The players look lost on the court. We have AV guys as asst. coaches.

I was hacked that the year we went to the great 8 that we were so horrible at breaking a full court press. I blamed it on the players then. Now i blame it on Capel. A decent coach would have won a National Championship with Blake.

So we have a coach that can recruit and do nothing else even up to average. I would like to demote him (to prevent some player transfers and for future recruiting) and hire a new HC, but that would prolly be unprecendented.

I don't know what Joe will do. I doubt he would offer the amount of money it would take to get a proven coach in here, so i suspect he will hire someone i have never heard of.

Yeah, because it just takes someone like Blake to win a NC.

Clown statement.

Yeah, it is getting crazier with each passing day. Here is a quick list of college stars who never won a title...........

Tim Duncan-0 titles

David Robinson- 0 titles

Shaq Oneal- 0 titles

Karl Malone- 0 titles

Stacy King/Mookie Blaylock/Harvey Grant- 0 titles

Wayman Tisdale- 0 titles

Larry Bird- 0 titles

Kevin Durant- 0 titles

Charles Barkley- 0 titles

and the list goes on..... Numerous " terrible college coaches" I guess

Durant's coach was Barnes and he's a Dale brown clone as far as I'm concerned and will never be mistaken for a great coach.

I don't need to defend Tubbs...at least he advanced to the final game and if that game were played anywhere other than 30 minutes from Lawrence, we win the NC. Wayman had very little talent around him. He definitely didn't have 2 other players who made an NBA roster.

It's pretty obvious every coach of the players you listed were not great coaches. They were just lucky enough to have an opportunity to coach once in a lifetime players that made them to appear as better coaches than they actually were. Sound familiar?

The poster said that Capel should have won a title with Blake. I responded by pointing out that numerous STAR CALIBER players did not win NCAA titles. A few were 4 yr players even. To say that Capel should have won it all, when NC had a roster that was light years ahead of ours is just more Capel bashing..... The list that I compiled had some decent coaches on it. You can spin it however you want, but the bottom line is that NONE of the great players listed ever won a title, which by the way is not an indictment of their coaches on my part, but more an indication of how hard it is to win an NCAA title in any sport......
