One fact you can't deny, is Bob Stoops did in fact let the program slide and his staff get lazy for some years. And it showed. And it culminated in Bob firing/replacing nearly his entire staff with new coaches. Plaino, never lose sight of the fact that just prior to Bob's massive staff purge, you claimed they were the "best staff in the country".
But then you will be the first to show up to defend Kish. The difference here is your "boy" Bob Stoops hired him. Bob didn't hire McNeil. That's the difference.
That's the thing....was OU able to win those conference titles because of Kish? Or despite of Kish? Fact is, Kish's role in coaching got diminished since he landed at OU. At first he was hired to coach LB's. I guess that load was too much. Cuz now he only coaches ILB's, with Mike jumping in to help and taking over the OLB's position.
I dunno Plaino...maybe you called into Scoop sick on those days. Cuz the games where the offense looked like garbage there was plenty of fire being thrown at Riley. It's a head scratcher how you aren't able to recall that.
So I'm a foolish guy huh? I"m part of the crowd that called out the former staff (that all got canned) for their failures, while all the time you called us foolish and OU had the best staff in the country. Pretty easy looking back now which side was right...and which side was wrong. But you go right ahead and keep assuming everyone else who disagrees with you are the foolish ones. Pete Hughes bring back any memories?? LOL
"Hating at the highest level" ?...........Really ?
Seriously Plaino? I always enjoy your insight but...
Of course you do because now it's you doing it. That's the definition of being a hypocrite.
I'm going to make a prediction today. You're going to blame every bad play and any losses this season on the coaching staff with the exception of those who have been long timers under Stoops.
Recruits pay attention to what the coaches and players on the teams recruiting them say. On campus visits carry infinitely more weight in a recruit's decision making that a bunch of old white guys do sitting at a computer keyboard.
That's a very easy prediction.
Pfffffttttt. You're just jealous you didn't have the balls to make the prediction first. Don't hate the player.
Plaino I witnessed the massive backlash you endured over on the pay board on this. Even your few defenders over there turned on you over this. Read Medics post again. He is right on the money. I know you are trying to say it's different but it's not. The entire pay board and now this board can see it's not.
I understood why he re-kicked. It didn't work out. He was universally criticized, and he fell on his sword after. But his secondary guys had so many injuries that he couldn't put three healthy corners out there at the end of the game, and they'd given up a sieve touchdown to OSU on the previous possession and he wanted to avoid that if possible. So the re-punt was an effort to kick it inside the ten and use some more time. It wasn't that bad an idea, but OUr first cover guy screwed up the play, and made the decision look horrible. The first coverage guy just assumed that the ball would be fair caught, so he ran past the most dangerous punt return guy in the conference, maybe the country, to down it, if he didn't catch the punt. But he didn't see the fair catch signal he expected. It cost us the game.
This looks like a meltdown.
Notice it was Bob couldn't put 3 healthy corners out there and they gave up a sieve touchdown the previous drive? No way it could have just been a confused dumbassed decision or Mike's shitty defensive decisions.
