Go look at the poll, "fire him now" with five votes.

Four percent say fire now. That's pretty low.
Sorry Charlie (couldn't resist).
a poll is a little different than a post...

Personally, I'm not as bothered by the losses as much as I am by the chaos on the roster and the lack of development by some players.
There are village idiots on every board, but I think our mods do a pretty good job of cleaning up the trash if it gets too bad.
It's not easy to be in our shoes either with this moderating stuff. Trust me, it's not fun, at all, with some of the hateful messages we get when people feel they are wronged with a deleted post or whatever.
And then add to all that the fact the team is having a bad season. Everyone is pissed off (even us) and wants to vent, and should be allowed to do so as long as it's respectful.
If you see something that you feel has been overlooked by the mods and needs to be viewed again, click the report button in the lower left corner of that post and our guys will check it out.
Sorry you don't like the way things are being handled. We're not perfect by any means, but we're trying. I don't think we're anywhere near the level of idiocy that's on OUInsider. Maybe I'm wrong though.
These posts kill me. Why is it preferable to have moderators arbitrarily shut up posters who have a certain opinion of a coach? If the idea of firing Coach Capel is so absurd, it should be rather easy to make the case against it. Myself, I think it would be an extraordinarily ill-conceived idea to fire him at this point, but then, I am willing to make that argument on the merits rather than just shouting down those that disagree.
OUInsider sucked not because of the insane posters, but because of moderators who had made the place unbearable (not you, Ada!). As a lifelong holder of sometimes unpopular opinions, I hate the idea of people getting banned over things like this. We disagree on stuff -- that's cool, doesn't mean we can't all get along (you just got rodney king'd).
True but how about:
"He needs to go! I think his evulation of kids is lacking big time. Blake Griffin is the only bright spot for Capel and it was almost a given Blake was coming to OU with Taylor already here. By the way the other guy signed Taylor. There are other coaches out there that could take over the program. This team has no direction and no leader at the top."
