This is a good question. Maybe he's more focused on playcalling and not chewing asses?
Saturday night was the first time that I can remember seeing Mike on tv that much. I also think the biggest difference in our defense from last year is the fact that our d-line is playing really well and the db's are a lot better.
Some of you get it, some don't.
Mike didn't get all retard idiot between his first stint here and this one.
The only real difference is the personnel he had to work with.
Sam Bradford didn't share his Heisman Trophy with Josh Heuple...he earned it all by himself.

More and better players.
And less responsibility coaching players game day skills. He gets to spend more time on game plans and less getting five or six DB's on and off the field.
And they did it to get the D call in a little quicker. Three seconds can make a lot of difference.
Mike may not have fit his players early on but lets not act like he didn't have some talent to work with.
3 of the DBs that started in the West Virginia (778 yds) and A&M (633 yds) defensive debacles have gone on to NFL and have had multiple NFL starts each.
4 of the front 7 have played or are playing NFL.
He did not have talent to have a shut down national championship defense, but he had the talent to do much much better than he did. Not many Stoops era teams have secondary with 3 guys going on to make NFL starts.

Good point, that tells me, and this is just speculation, that Mike and Brent Venables weren't pulling the same rope together at times.
Mhmm....Mike may not have fit his players early on but lets not act like he didn't have some talent to work with.

Yep and when MS signed on, it didn't take Venables long to move on. The same with the coach that basically walked for a lesser job NFL job. I think w/ MS, it's 'My Way or the Highway' . I believe that Bob recognized this and moved him upstairs to remove the constant, heat of the moment sideline emotion that was tearing the defense apart.
I really believe Bob should be retired and if Bob wants to keep him on as a private consultant he makes enough that he could pay him out of his salary. Cooks has done a wonderful job of evaluating talent and coaching the D backs. Actually a big Thanks to all our new coaches whom I believe(along with the players stating they needed different coaching faster, harder etc.) have made the big difference in how improved we are playing this season.Mhmm....
Thank you for bringing that up I had forgotten about that little nugget they mentioned during the game the other night. I believe it was Shepard when they said had told the media that after the Texas game, many of the players had a meeting with the coaches and basically told them their current practice level wasn't getting it done. The players wanted to be pushed faster and harder. That says alot when the players have to push the coaches. Kudos to the players for having enough self-motivation to tell the coaches they want more.I really believe Bob should be retired and if Bob wants to keep him on as a private consultant he makes enough that he could pay him out of his salary.
