Waaaay past time imo. If this is true and Ruffin McNeill is named as the new DC I will throw up.

I think it was in the 3rd and I turn to my friends: "If I'm UGA on 3rd and 6 here I'm calling a draw", mainly because Fromm was woeful on 3rd downs. Sure enough, I think it was Michel who ran through a gaping hole on the right side all the way to paydirt untouched, on a draw. If a fan can see that....jayzus. Mike's years of experience have simply lead to yelling, like a senile old man.
Spot On, 8085...The Funda FREAKIN'mentals are my Main Pain...I could coach the Linebackers better than Mikey...If we can get strong LB and DB assistants, McNeil might not be that bad. He's a strong recruiter and brought in good Dlineman. Right now, our biggest concerns, are fundamentals and lack of quality depth. We have to get someone in fast and hopefully land a few DB and LB. The 2017 class, is deep at DB and some of those guys should step up.
Who's can we get? With so many coaching changes, most of the good position coaches took jobs. McNeil has not been associated with great position coaches, so he can't lean into that tree.
Don't care if it is a nice send off or if he is shot out of a cannon. I just want him gone. Don't think Ruffin will be the next DC. I think Riley hired him as his "Administrative Assistant" and kind of overseer. I think LR will go after a young up and comer for DC with same drive and vision as his.Mikey.... he gone.

Bob and Mike can invest in a car dealership together. I bet they could sale a lot of cars.No one likes to fire someone ....... but this is LONG overdue.
He has to go.
This was the first thought in my head when Ruffin was hired: DC IN WAITING. I hope like you that’s not the case but something has to change. Those long td’s their backs made while going untouched through our DL was so bad. Total give away of a game imo.Waaaay past time imo. If this is true and Ruffin McNeill is named as the new DC I will throw up.
Mike Stoops is our DB coach
I agree with everything you wrote, but I believe Kerry Cooks is our official DB coach. It bothers me a bit that his name is never mentioned.
Tim Kish is often mentioned.
Maybe the delay is that Lincoln Riley not only has to replace one guy but rather 3 guys. Does Kish stay if Stoops is gone? I'd be surprised. Is Kerry Cooks at all to blame for the DBs or has Stoops handcuffed him with ignorance?
I'd be surprised if we're only looking for a new DC.
Sadly, I'll be surprised if we are even LOOKING for a new one...I agree with everything you wrote, but I believe Kerry Cooks is our official DB coach. It bothers me a bit that his name is never mentioned.

I think people are overlooking one main problem. As long as Bob is still in the program as he seems to be then getting rid of Mike is not likely to happen. Why do you think Heupel was fired and not Mike? Mike has been far worse than Josh was and over a longer period.
This team just won the Big 12 for the 3rd year in a row, had a Heisman winner at QB and went to the playoffs. How many teams out there would make any changes to a staff that just accomplished all of that? Not many if any would except for maybe Saban if he had a DC like Mike but Saban would never hire someone like Mike in the first place. Until Mike starts costing us Big 12 titles and wins on a weekly basis I don't see him leaving unless he was to resign and that aint gonna happen.

The more I read of Lincoln’s comments about Mike, the more I believe he isn’t going to do anything directly about Mike. Right now Riley is acting Stoopid. No way can he defend the Mike Stoops defense against elite offensive teams. Winning the Big XII isn’t enough when you have an offense like OU had this year. No excuse to have lost to Georgia the way we did.

OK, I'll take a stab at it.
At the time of the Huepel firing if you recall I was a strong advocate of both being fired. I also like many didn't think Bob Stoops would fire both of them at the same time. I always thought that he would do the deed on Mike the following year. But that never occurred.
We are all about to see and witness the real Lincoln Riley. Is he his own man? Or is he a Bob Stoops puppet? So far he's been walking a company line for team unity etc. We may not see any changes until the after the official signing day of this recruiting class in an effort to show unity. If you recall, Heupel was fired and Riley hired after the signing day that year. Another point of contention could be when Mike Stoops current contract expires. As to your questioning of what teams would fire or make changes w/ OU's success my opinion is 'Don't wait til it's broke to fix it'
I have given Riley the benefit of the doubt since his HC hire as it is deserving and earned. But his honeymoon is officially over. If it gets to a point to where we see that Riley is Bob Stoops puppet, then you will see me in a different light. Mike is beyond should be fired. Those days are gone. It's at a stage now of he must be fired.
Just imagine if they had played an elite offense at the Rose Bowl, or a team without a freshman starting at qb, or Mike's cryptonite: a team with an athletic qb
