One name to consider is Bryan Brown, the DC at Appalachian State. Brown coaches CBs and has for the last 5 years. Apparently his CBs (as opposed to DBs) have 30 ints in 3 years. OU CBs have 30 in the last 6 years (half of those by Sanchez). Brown is likely making about $150-175K per year. He is 34 years old and is originally from Mississippi and Ole Miss.
Brown as a potential Co-DC here and coaching CBs might be a huge change for us in 19.

I know @nolesooner has family in the panhandle area, as do other Sooner brothers and sisters.

This is going to be bad, fellas. No one expected this hurricane to be an upper-scale Cat. 4 at landfall. That's not far off from Katrina strength.

Prayers for everyone in Michael's path.

Bob brought Mike Leach into the big 12. And now it ends with the firing of his brother. Ironical.

he had enough of Mike running down players.

Lincoln and Mike has altercation at halftime yesterday

That is how it happened.

Have just confirmed Mike Stoops is out as DC> Still on phone> More soon

Heard from a very good source tonight that Bob Diaco is not likely to receive the interim DC tag.

I asked if it would be Ruffin instead and source said it wasn't known at this time. But can confirm Diaco not a likely candidate.

UPDATE:

Got a call just moments ago saying decision was still being made. It's likely to be Ruffin, but nothing official has been decided. There have been several reports out there but other than Diaco not being the likely interim, that's all I can report with 100% accuracy because nothing was finalized tonight.

I think there are some things the athletic department is wanting to rubber stamp before all this goes down.

Just stopping by.

and got black balled, yelled at, etc. He was right then and he's still right, he's just tired of fighting the kiss Stoops ass 24/7 BS. Now Dmackey13 has stated the same and the obvious. Dmack played for these Stoops, but he bit his tongue and gave too much rope to both Stoops because of loyalty. Our eyes have not been lying to us. Bob and Riley didn't listen to Boz and it likely cost us Natty #8 last year!

Everyone is assuming it will be someone on staff and at the end of the year, they'll hire someone outside the program.

But.

What if they're looking RIGHT NOW for the guy -- someone in another program and they want to get him hired in the next few days?

Just think it's a distinct possibility. And if that's the case, who would they be looking at?

News on the Blitz saying Jaw dropping news on the Mike firing. Anyone catching this news on NEWS 9???

Is it over with?

I've got a buddy trying to sign up. I told him about the promo but he said he can't find it. Now I feel like a dick if I lied to him lulz

@Josh_M @Carey Murdock

Show yourself sir..

Firing Mike wouldn’t be easy for anyone, but especially not for Lincoln since he was Bob’s hand-picked successor. But it will be even more difficult because Mike will become untouchable in major college football after being fired. His reputation as a tone deaf coach who is not a good Xs and Os coach, has no self control, and no respect from the players will make unsuitable elsewhere. Firing him at OU will effectively end his college coaching career, unless he’s willing to coach outside of the Power 5 conferences.

Anybody know who the hot up and coming defensive assistants are out there? We haven’t been good on the defensive side of the ball in nearly 15 years. Something has to change.

Will he bring Bud Foster as the DC with him. We'll pay him $2 million. Even pay Beamer Jr. an extra $100k. ****! Just get me someone that has a clue!! FUMS!

To Michigan

My SIL has two young boys and is dealing with their dead beat dad. She needs to take him to court and get parental rights changed/health insurance information so they can get treatment ...he won’t return phone calls/texts/won’t talk to her at all, he won’t give her any insurance information...dude is a real POS. His cousin is his lawyer and does whatever he says...she doesn’t have the $$ to spend on a lawyer.
Any Scoopers have any insight to navigate these waters...know of any lawyers that do this type of work pro bono in the Norman area?
Thanks in advance.

My God......Dean Blevins reporting the loss as a "nightmare" and "devastating". Sensationalize much?

Back-to-back recruiting weekends and just not that much, sorry.

Start with Marcus Hicks, Kori Roberson, Jonathan Perkins and Stacey Wilkins (via Kelvin Hicks):



- Will try to catch up with Perkins. He's been pretty elusive, but we'll certainly attempt to track him down to see how his official went. We'll see Hicks next week (Sept. 20) and we've been in touch with Wilkins and Roberson quite a bit so not really urgent.

(Downs, far left, should end up being one of #OKPreps' top prospects for 2021)

- Caught up with 2021 Weatherford TE/ATH Ethan Downs. Sounds like he had one heck of a time. Downs isn't 6-4, but I don't think that will deter OU from an eventual offer. Downs was at OU's camp in the summer and returned this weekend.

Ethan Downs:

"I had a great time. The game was fun and exciting and my favorite part was pre-game and walking out of the tunnel. We were standing on the sideline and people were yelling, 'Ball!' and my dad got hit in the face from a ball from the pitching machine! He took it like a man though, just stunned him. It was hilarious." - Downs
