At this point who is the most likely candidate to be our lb coach? And maybe a darkhorse candidate no one has really mentioned.

Doesn't really apply to OU

But how freaking random is this talk of Chip Kelly to the Bucs?!?

Thats pretty crazy

I think it would set oregan back a few years if he takes it.

At least

I think the talk is they’re already in contract negotiations. I’ve read more than one person comparing it to the Pete Carroll situation w/ him (Kelly) trying to bail before the NCAA drops the hammer?

So I am sorry if I get off topic

by OU JJ on Jan 22, 2012 8:37 PM CST reply actions  

the biggest thing other schools have to offer over OU

is PLAYING TIME

Team FIRST, Effort SECOND, Talent THIRD, Selfish NEVER

by omsooner on Jan 22, 2012 8:37 PM CST reply actions  

and that's a HUGE selling point

especially when our coaches never play backups

I think it's relative....

It’s not necessarily important to kids who have a certain moral makeup instilled by their parents.

by OU JJ on Jan 22, 2012 8:40 PM CST up reply actions  

I agree

and I think that probably costs us a few decent recruits every year

I'll agree with you on that

It’s just an opinion of mine, and it doesn’t mean that they can’t become team players

Those are the type of people who do t have good work ethic in our world.

Sure some buckle down & become better people. Most stay me first, job hop etc….

by OU JJ on Jan 22, 2012 8:45 PM CST up reply actions  

i can almost guarantee you other coaches use that against us on the recruiting trail

I’d heard Petrino. But I’d love Patterson to leave TCU.

But Petrino has probably already called begging. Could make the dgb race interesting.

it's also my understanding

that Kish has ZERO recruiting ties to texASS and that should be at the top of the list of hiring a “recruiter”

I don't want to discount the value of the current cali recruits

or other recruits from around the country,but they have no life-long HATRED for texASS and the Pukes – two of, if not the two – most important games on OU’s yearly schedule. It just can’t mean the same thing to them.
