Sounds like you're aiming this at myself or maybe
@TEvans4Three
I'm not one to argue all too much, lol.
But yeah, duh.
1. This staff is anti-social media. Staunchly. Or anti-using social media in a way that's visible to us. I know they're recruiting mostly out of our sight. Instead of having public excitement, we're stuck with guys like Glibert DMing Bob P or we're stuck with Trilly when he has anything in regards to an OU target. Yay and that's kind of the point too. If we can't share in the excitement, or be allowed to know (some of) what they're doing, accusations of doing a poor job will be prevalent (based on what is known - they're getting their asses kicked right now).
On the topic of social media....DOES IT HURT THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM? Very little (from what I can tell). DOES IT HELP THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM? Very much so. I'd argue that it's a very critical component of their program. I don't get why the MBB staff is against it but you know, it's their funeral, so to speak.
2. Do you think I'm serious when I say I could do better? Heck no. Could I help? Maybe, maybe not. I couldn't be a college head coach, I know that. Could I sit in an office, help keep things organized, and maybe help in some way? IDK, probably a little. My point with that talk is.....what they've been doing for 3+ years now hasn't worked well (or fully). This cycle, so far, any of us could have landed Elvis (it was more about the OU/SEC brand than anything....his next choice was likely Charleston) and struck out on Overton, Pedulla, Scott, and Garrison (not over but you know what's going to happen). And let's be realistic here, just because a dude is working at OU officially, it doesn't 100% make him a better basketball mind than some of us (not saying myself, speaking in general terms). There are God-awful GAs, coaches, staffers all over the place that are only coaching because they can't do much else. Some couldn't scout or coach their way out of a paper bag. I'm not talking about Moser here. Moser knows the damn game. Is every OU coach/staffer elite at what they do? I'd argue no and I've argued that OU needs a GM, for a reason.
3/4. Do I think the coaches want to win? Yes. Moser is a fiery competitor. That much is evident by his visible personality. All we have to do is watch one presser. Do I think they know how to win at this level (B12 now SEC)? No. For 3+ years, what Moser has shown me is he can't construct a roster, and keep them, that will get to the tournament. It's not a question on intentionally having dysfunction but there's clearly dysfunction. I've said this a ton but I think Moser is better mid major HC and roster assembler. He can't win at the high major level enough and he doesn't know how to assemble the right kind of roster....so yes, Moser wants to win but his stubbornness or poor methods end up winning out in the long run.
