For whatever reason he gave for resigning,the fish smell around the OU program just got stronger.......Go Sooners

Could Capel have asked him to leave as he was the point man on Willie and TMG? Maybe the cancers were too much. Either way I can't wait for this to be over.

Please go get an experienced coach, we dont need to take chances again

So why does there have to be the notion that Oronde leaving has to do with the problems in the program? How come it can't be because he's a bright young coach that has a better opportunity that will provide for his family and himself? I wouldn't speculate too much on this one. BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!

I'm as "sunshine" as the next guy...see my post after our last win (10 games ago) for proof.

But this reeks of major problems. This is a terrible omen. Our star recruiting assistant suddenly resigns? We'll be lucky to get anyone at this point...seriously.

Coach O is a fraud.

Common sense?

I believe that the TMZ story involved a guy wiring $3000 into an account for Gallon and his mother with some kind of involvement by or knowledge of an unnamed assistant coach. Coach O resigning suddenly seems to validate the story if not 100%, then 99% IMO.

maybe there is some truth that coach O was hired to bring in willie warren who's a relative. The day after willie declares coach O resigns.

Because that's not the case and because we're entirely unprepared to name a replacement which indicates that this happened rather suddenly. I love all things OU as much or more than most fans but I'm not stupid.

Coach O is a fraud.

Despite what many around wanted to believe he was brought in for one reason and one reason only. To get Willie Warren. Without him Warren goes elsewhere.

Also, Coach O is NOT a relative of Warren's. He's related to Daniel Orton.

Coach O was up to no good! He had to go. Unfortunately he might take the whole program down with him. But the really sad thing is OU probably was doing a lot less then the rest of the upper echelon of College Basketball.

I wonder if Capel has a short list to replace him?
