Wrong BOB...... 1st of all, I was asking a serious question. I never said that I didn't like the critique of Capel's gameplan, I was seriously asking others what would they do different with THIS ROSTER?? That was all that I was asking. Not who we should or shouldn't have signed, who we should or shouldn't have kept, etc. I was simply asking what could be done different with this roster.
2nd: As hard you and some others try to make it be so, I will never be on one side or the other. I explained it in another thread. I can see the problems with team as well or better than other posters can. I wil never be a poster who sits around bashing ANY of our coaches. I will always seek to find the positives, and support OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY. I supported Bliss until he left, Tubbs, Sampson, and now Capel. When the admin who makes alot of money to make moves decides to make one, I will support whoever they decide to sign as our next coach. That is just the way I attack life in general. I see nothing good coming from flooding every thread and every post with my negative beliefs about why we are in this shape.
I love OU Sports, and I will always love them, win or lose. I believe in my heart that our current admin is smart enough to know when to pull the plug on someone. Until they do that, I will support the current staff because they coach the University that I love.
3rd: I have no problems with the posters who want to honestly discuss OUr problems, and what OUr coach has done well, and not so well. What bothers me is when you cannot say anything positive without the same 5 to 10 posters who flood the board with the same monotone attacks. The same thing happened during the end of the Sampson era, and it made the board a miserable place. I mean come on, you yourself have attacked Capel for listening to R&B with his players.:facepalm I have also seen some criticize him for keeping in touch with recruits that we don't sign. What is wrong with that???? I listen to R&B, and it has done nothing to hurt me. Would it be ok if he listened to country with his players?? How about Classical music?? It just reeks of personal biases IMO.
In summary, you can try and place me on one side of the fight or the other, but you will fail. There are alot of things that I believe Capel has done wrong. There are many things about OUr current team that make me sad/angry, but as long as he is the coach, I will support him, until I learn that he is doing something illegal or unethical to negatively impact the lives of OUr young players. From all that I know/hear, Capel is a pretty positive influence on the lives of the players, even listening to R&B.....:facepalm
