Warning: Offseason type thread ahead

[usaosooner]

With all the NFL openings ****uming the unthinkable and Stoops decided to take off for [insert NFL team here] who would you target as HC?

I have 3 clear options in my head

Charlie Strong (Louisville HC)

James Franklin (Vanderbilt HC)

Gary Patterson (TCU HC)




others I'd be "good" with Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern HC) Paul Rhoads (Iowa State) & Al Golden (Miami HC)

The obvious response will be "were is Mike,Brent Josh etc" Well IMO If Bob left suddenly I think Mike ends up going with him in some role, I don't think Josh is ready and I don't think Brent is ready. I would think Brent and Josh would need to cut their teeth as a head man elsewhere before OU boosters would give them a blessing

[AcousticSoup]

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnn.....

[ElGuapoSooner]

Art Briles, John Gruden or possibly James Franklin, although I don't like the SEC BS he pulled in his final coaches poll ballot.

[CNCSOONER]

If Stoops left I wouldnt want any of the above mentioned. Strong has a Law suit pending from a former player, Frankling wouldnt be able to cheat his way into winning at OU and Patterson was yesterdays news. I would leave it up to Joe C to make the right choice and hoped he learned from his past experience of hriring a bad coach (Capel).

[Blatant Homerism]

1. Gary Patterson
2. Pat Fitzgerald
3. Kevin Sumlin

I actually don't see those three leaving their current situations for OU, though. A little more under-the-radar:

1. Kyle Whittingham
2. Gary Andersen
3. Hugh Freeze
4. Mike Riley

[2SBTM]

1. Norvel or Sumlin
3. Strong
4. Franklin
5. Gruden

[ab5sr]

Why unthinkable? I think he's gone to try his hand in the NFL within the next 2-3 yrs

Everything getting quiet
Goina get crunk
Head back at Longview
Kelly poppin trunk

Aint even trippin
Ridin and im sippin
Lemme come through
Four fours get em tippin

I already knew dat
Watch em snort crack
Lemme sit sideways
CB, runninback

Maybe AP
Maybe AD
I aint even trippin
Cuz we some athletes

That’s the way Schmitty
In the summer time
He get pissed
If we don’t make our time

But we gon’ get it
Cuz we gotta finish
Every damn school
Man we diminish

Lookin for a little
Something like a skittle
I aint even trippin
Cuz I aint double dribble

As ima playa
From the Himalayas
Lemme see
A sideways mayor

Baby back door
Baby fall off
Sippin codine
Cuz I gotta killa cough
Lemme sit sideways in the big benz

All you boys
Are my brothers and my friends
Holla at Coach Sumlin
Wave goodbye to the Stoops
Lemme sit sideways in the two door coupe

Cus im sittin clean
Foes on the lean
Look at my pants
Gotta sag in mah jeans

Lemme sit sideways
Have them ladies comin’
PT's throwing that ball
and it's hummin'

Ima gon’ catch it
Ima gon’ reck it
Man im sittin sideways
Boys sittin naked

[OUMallen]

Excellent transcrption. I do think he was sipping codeine "cuz he gotta killa cough", though.

[SoonerDan74012]

David Shaw or Kirby Smart

[Sooner 76]

1. Gary Patterson
2. Pat Fitzgerald
3. Kevin Sumlin

Is that Mike Riley, the buffoon HC at Oregon State, who totally botched clock management at the end of the first half against the whorns? The same buffoon HC who left a struggling (putting it mildly) QB in for the entire game, when he continually froze in the pocket and turned the ball over?

[soonerbornsoonerbret]

David Shaw or Kirby Smart

David Shaw. I like the way Stanford plays football right now.

[greenfacedman]

I gotta go with Sumlin, I do believe he would drop the Aggies like a bad habit if he were offered. If not him then you gotta go with Lovie smith.

[Fahooglegods]

Easy. David Shaw if he could be pried away from Stanford.

[Yuck Fu]

Well technically it's not the offseason yet so screw people who whine about offseason threads.

However, there are a lot of good coaching candidates out there. Wouldn't be that worried about it.

Since we have decided that half our team needs to be from Cali I think Shaw might be a good one. Heck give Nuweasal another gig.

[greensooner]

Excellent transcrption. I do think he was sipping codeine "cuz he gotta killa cough", though.

could be, most that was from memory and listening to it the other day

but I changed a few of the words around just to stay away from "Nebraska Cornhuskers, man we diminish" or "Holla at Coach Stoops" and "Boise gettin' quiet"

felt they didn't need to be there for this discussion

[thurman murman]

Shaw's not leaving Stanford for any other college job.

From the original list I'd take Patterson. He's a proven winner and already knows how to recruit in the state of Texas.

Watching the Aggies meltdown if Sumlin left them for Norman would be hilarious.

[soonerbornsoonerbret]

[QUOTE=thurman murman;1015123]Shaw's not leaving Stanford for any other college job. [QUOTE]


Not anymore than Stoops is leaving Oklahoma for a pro job.

[lobster999]

I'd go with Sumlin first, but I'm not against Patterson either. I'd be really curious if Sumlin would leave. We certainly wouldn't have a shortage of interested applicants.

[drumhead23us]

Al Golden? He's as dirty as they come, isn't he? I don't want any coach who's been soiled by "Da U"

[Jbaker]

Excellent transcrption. I do think he was sipping codeine "cuz he gotta killa cough", though.

Also, "PT's throwing that ball, it is humming."

[El Jefe]

David Shaw. I like the way Stanford plays football right now.

This. Or in a pipe dream, Sumlin.

[El Jefe]

Also, "PT's throwing that ball, it is humming."

I always thought it was:
"OU boys are my brothers and my friends"

[lobster999]

This. Or in a pipe dream, Sumlin.

I honestly think we would have a better chance at Sumlin than Shaw.

[DelMarSooner]

Art Briles would be my first choice.

[oorah_okie]

I don't think Stoops will leave until after the 2018 season. After that, he'll have put in a solid 20 years, then anything's game.

[mgsooner]

[Mongo]

shaw and Sumlin both definitely solid choices

[Blatant Homerism]

Is that Mike Riley, the buffoon HC at Oregon State, who totally botched clock management at the end of the first half against the whorns? The same buffoon HC who left a struggling (putting it mildly) QB in for the entire game, when he continually froze in the pocket and turned the ball over?

Winning the way that he has at Oregon State is pretty miraculous. The fact that his team was even in position to beat Texas says a lot.

If you want to toss a coach aside for **** up clock management or sticking with a struggling QB, OU should have axed Stoops many times.

[Blatant Homerism]

I honestly think we would have a better chance at Sumlin than Shaw.

Agree. Stanford gave Shaw the equivalent of a lifetime contract. I think he is there for a long time.

[OkieforOU]

I like Shaw and as someone said, he's as likely to leave Stanford as Stoops is to leave OU.

[oorah_okie]

Also, "PT's throwing that ball, it is humming."

I thought it was "PT flingin dat ball n its hummin".

[AcousticSoup]

Anyone who mentions Jon Gruden's name as a great option for a head coaching option, obviously knows nothing about Jon Gruden.

I can write you ****ers a book.

You don't want him near your organization in any way, shape or form unless he's announcing your game.

He's just a popular name to throw in a mythical hat.

well since you mentioned it I would like to read said book, please have it formatted properly for my viewing pleasure by end of the game Friday night...thanks again, can't wait

Stoops managed the clock very well against WV and OSU.

Fans like you deserve to have Riley for a coach and Vaz or whatever his name is at QB.

Riley was outcoached by Mack Brown of all people. Just pathetic.

[AcousticSoup]

Cliffs notes:

*Can't develop young talent
*Offense is too complicated to be efficient
*Tears apart team with his ego

[Fahooglegods]

Are you saying that Stoops has never ****ed up clock management or left a struggling QB in a game?

[meandmybutt]

Bill Cowher.....I can dream right?

I agree. Interesting personality, good with the players, talks the talk.....not really very good at coaching or organization. I get his record, but still not impressed.

[mexican/ninja]

I bet he'd recruit like a mother fu....

[Sooner 76]

Are you saying that Stoops has never ****ed up clock management or left a struggling QB in a game?

No, I'm not. I'm saying that I'm not that impressed with Riley. He totally screwed up that game. Oregon State should never have let that game get away.

[Muno]

Are you saying that Stoops has never ****ed up clock management or left a struggling QB in a game?

Riley is a very good coach. I'm not sure he would be a good fit at OU so he wouldn't be at the top of my list but the guy can coach and his teams tend to over achieve.

[fdubzou]

How long exactly have you followed Oregon State football?

The Beavers don't attract anywhere near the talent level of programs like Texas. Or USC, or Stanford, or anyone else in the PAC-12 really; yet he has consistently beaten those programs both on the road and at home. You can't just select one game and use it to sum up a guys whole career, lol.

Their cl**** rankings over the last 4 years have been 52, 54, 44, 55 and they currently have the 53rd ranked cl**** and only 1 4 star recruit committed. To win as consistently as he has despite the gap in talent is impressive.

I would thoroughly enjoy seeing what Mike could do with the talent OU can attract.

James Franklin. Excellent head coach & has fire in his belly & isn't scared to show it. His team feeds off of him. Plus, any coach who can win at Vandy...well, that's all I need to know.

[SG1]

Mike Stoops

In all seriousness, I doubt Sumlin leaves aTm for OU

[greensooner]

felt they didn't need to be there for this discussion

not too far off from what the actual words but I did change a few of them to fit my argument for Coach Sumlin

[VRO405]

I like Shaw and as someone said, he's as likely to leave Stanford as Stoops is to leave OU.

I like Shaw, Strong, Briles and Patterson. Like Sumlin, just don't see it happenin'

[oudavid1]

More worried about Iowa. Always Iowa.
