OU Football - Give walking papers......

[Liberec]

I agree. There is much better offensive and defensive coordinators out there. Some High school coaches could maybe even do better!
Bob is just going to have to cut his ties with his buddies if he wants to ever win another championship!
How about thoes COWBOYS?

Wilson was the National Offensive Coordinator of the Year, previously. There's a reason why that DA can't get a head coaching job, even with those credentials.

I'm pretty burned out with the screen passes too. And I'm pretty burned out that everytime Venables consistently blitzes the QB they are pretty good about sacking his ass, or disrupting the play and getting a pick. And Venables still reverts back to that prevent crap and gets owned.

They come out in the 3rd quarter and start playing smash mouth football and get the job done on both sides of the ball. Then they go and abandon the smash mouth run game that was clearly working and go back to the screen pass and they just quit blitzing?

Stoops needs to take some heat for the play calling of his coordinators. But Venables ain't going anywhere, he's Associate HEAD coach! Mike Stoops had the defense dominating everyone. Hell they were the reason they won several games. They carried a decent but at times struggling offense. How long has it been since the defense won a game when the offense was having a tough time? I know darn good and well that overall the players we have today are every bit as good as they were when Mike Stoops called the plays and probably a good bit better.

Wilson ought to get walking papers tomorrow. Let Gundy or Heupel call the plays. Either could match Wilson. Then work a deal with Mangino or Leach for next year. What's Norm Chow doing these days?

I know he wouldn't do it but I love the Mike Leach idea.

Anybody watch OU football tonight...?

Amateurish at best...!

Fire Kevin Wilson..! Worst play-calling I've ever seen. Screen pass left, screen pass right, run up the middle, punt...! That's Wilsons entire OU playbook. No creativity, no vision, just plain ol' High School football.

Fire Brent Venables..! Get rid of this Good Ol' Boy Hack...! His defense has holes big enough to drive an 18 wheeler thru. Does he EVER watch film of his opponents....?

Stoops is an average coach at best. He was at his best when he had other talented coaches under him,..Mangino, Mike Stoops, Leach, Long, etc....

Now he just plain sucks..! Too bad his talented athletes don't have a comparable coach..!

Hopefully OSU will capitalize on OU & Texas' sucktitude and win the conference this year.

I agree completely. Fire them all. They are horrible. Isn't John Blake out of a job?

I'm a huge OU fan but you guys sound like spoiled brats. We are used to OU winning and now that OU lost a game someone is calling Bob Stoops an average coach. YOU HAVE TO GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!! There are many a schools who would not think twice about hiring bob stoops. He is easily in the top 5 of active coaches.

A&M beat us. I agree that Kevin Wilson needs to re evaluate how he calls plays but lets not forget that he is also the O. Coordinator for the HIGHEST SCORING OFFENSE in NCAA history. How quick we are to forget. Sam Bradford is in the NFL now. Everytime we put someone under center doesn't mean they are going to be the greatest QB to ever wear crimson and cream. Sam was a once in a lifetime type player. Landry Jones will never be S.B. but he isn't the worst thing to ever happen to OU either.

I agree.
There are also many schools that would love to have Landry.

7 and 2 still isnt a bad record. The high rankings made all of the fans including me think that OU had a better ball team than they have. If it werent for Murray this team could very well be 2 and 7. I thought before this season OU would have a an average season this year. Average not being a one or two loss team. They played some mediocre teams early and squeaked by. Then they beat Texas and dominated Iowa State and everyone thought they were a Championship caliber team. Now Texas has proven to be a mediocre team at best and Iowa State is Iowa State. We will see what happens the rest of the season, but im afraid this isnt our last loss.

One good thing, maybe OU will go to a bowl game they can win.

I agree with this. That fake field goal call was utterly brilliant. That was Stoops making that call. The play was a guaranteed TD if the ball hadn't bounced off the receiver's hands! That's not on the coaches.

But Stoops is too loyal to his coordinators IMO and lets them make the calls they think appropriate. That's a good thing on one hand, but he's also responsible for their performance. And I'm sure he'd agree.

No, Stoops doesn't need to go anywhere. But he does need to tell them to take some risks and let the players be utilized, they have great talent. Why hold it back? Just one example, why doesn't Wilson utilize Finch more? That true freshman is a rocket! He had 4 carries tonight.

And Venables?.... Just unleash the hounds already! And throw the leash away!

Wilson was definitely offensive tonight.
