Dave Bliss (1976, 77, 78, 79, 80) .... 38-32 (.543)

Billy Tubbs (1981, 82, 83, 84, 85) .... 48-22 (.685)

Kelvin Sampson (1995, 96, 97, 98, 99) .... 48-28 (.632)

Jeff Capel (2007, 08, 09, 10, 11) .... 36-42 (.462) ... 2 games remaining

********************

11 - It took Billy Tubbs 11 seasons to lose 42 conference games
9 - It took Kelvin Sampson 9 seasons to lose 42 conference games
5 - It took Jeff Capel 5 seasons to lose 42 conference games.

********************

Note: The Big-8 had 14 regular season games. The Big-12 started play in 1997, and has 16 regular season games.

John MacLeod 36-34 after 5 seasons(1968-1972)
Bob Stevens 26-44(37.1%) and fired after 5 seasons. You have to go all the way back to 67 to find a coach with a losing record in conference after 5 seasons.
 
You know sometimes I think OU hits rock bottom then some dynamite gets thrown in the whole and then its shovel time again.

It should be an easy call for Joe.
 
man this board sucks now. and this season doesn't have anything thing to do with coaching
 
Doyle Parrack 1956-1960 27-37(42.2%) He went on to coach 2 more mediocre years.

That's all the coaches in the Big 6/7/8 era on.

What would you blame it on? Recruiting? Guess what, that's part of coaching.

Or, would you rather blame it on the fans?

To say the coach is not ultimately responsible for turning a top 20 program into a top 200 program is ludicrous and ill Informed.
 
i didn't say there was an error.

I just said this board sucks now.

And that the reason we are horrible is not because of coaching

What exactly do we really run on offense or defense? What have we ran on offense or defense? What have we been good at offensively under Capel? What about defense under Capel? What is that something you can hang your hat on for Capel coached teams? If talent is our problem then I thought Capel was the greatest recruiter of all time. Where is this amazing recruiter?

We don't play any defense is a reason we are bad. That's coaching.

Capel can't recruit. That's coaching.

We have lazy undisciplined players. That's coaching.
