Switzer was also confused when he ran into players of limited character. How do you handle someone like that? You can only work with someone who is willing to work.
Bizarre assumptions. We aren't very good, therefore our players must have low character. That may be one of the most ridiculous statements ever made on this board.
What would you call it when your team leader (s) appear to make no effort to lead a team or act together as a team? Selfishness and self-indulgence are good character traits?Bizarre assumptions.

Hey, don't get me wrong. Coach is still learning. Just because I think he might be dealing with new things here doesn't mean I dont want him to be our coach.
He's our guy. I just believe he's really getting stretched and taxed right now. We'll get through it and be stronger for it eventually.
To be sure coolm, I know where you are at...there are just some folks that seem to want to rip Capel and his coaching ability and I am curious as to what their solution is.
Maybe there isn't a solution this year? Because to me, clearly one of the following two things is true, and neither are fixable this year: 1) Capel simply isn't a very good coach/motivator, 2) Capel has recruited kids that aren't coachable.
Who cares if Alex Spaulding was the 9th man on that team? He certainly wasn't starting.

I sure would like to have Scotty Reynolds and Damian James right now.
They didn't want to be part of something special. They didn't want to be Sooners. Good riddance to them both.
Well, if you think that (1) or (2) are absolutes, I suppose you are right; however, I take issue with (1) becuase I have seen otherwise in the past.
I'll give (2) more weight than (1).
Please give me concrete examples of when you have seen otherwise.
If you say last year, I am going to respond why was Pattillo allowed to redshirt for a half a season. It is Jeff Capel's team. Jeff Capel decides who redshirts. If a player doesn't like the decision, pack up your bags and go somewhere else. If Capel made the decision, why did he change his mind?
Honestly, I can't point to a single game last season where great coaching won the game. Perhaps I just don't remember those games.
