We have a new soccer coach.

[patdog]

And it’s the guy who beat our old coach in his last game. Lipscomb coach Kevin O’Brien. Actually looks like a pretty good hire.

Doesn't Lipscomb have a pretty decent soccer program?

Shocked it's not an OU assistant. Kidding... kind of

Selmon really trying to get that AD gig at OU.

Block all calls from Florida.

Great hire!!

Press release said in 14 years he’s won 12 combined conference regular season& tournament titles. After they beat us a few weeks ago, they only lost by 1 goal at FSU.

Wow that was quick - solid hire on the surface

 

[FlotownDawg]

You mean Selmon didn’t hire a guy from Oklahoma??? I’m shocked.*** Seriously, can we put that joke to bed?

Need a new signs on 98, 20, and 10 coming into ms from bama that just says 17 off Florida.

I suspect it’s been known for a while that Zimmerman was leaving. And I agree. Looks like a solid hire.

 

[Predestined]

Selmo reads the pack. Someone suggested it on here days ago.

Do I need to make any updates to the tracker?:

Selmon OU Assistants Hiring Tracker - Forums

Selmon is going to end up being one of our better ADs if he stays a few more years. I don’t think guys you like realize how bad the department was under Cohen. Changes don’t happen overnight.

A big alum had to tell he needed to replace the soccer coach.***

It's a joke. He's done a pretty good job. I've always preferred a business guy over coach type. I ragged on cohen plenty how he had no business doing it. Selmon outside of lebby has done a good job. Lebby may pan out. But still not smart as his first hire out of the gate when football pays the bills and needed a good hire

I have a co-worker who is in tight with some big OU donors. He says we need to have a short list of candidates to replace Selmon. Selmon is getting a hard look.

Yeah my wife's family are Sooners or at least half of them. So I hear plenty of it. I think there are some good candidates out there. The whole purpose for Selmon coming here was to see if he could run a smaller sec program and make good moves so he could go back.

Chris Lemonis to the AD slot.

Still thinks he looks like one of the guys from Devo. Solid hire for sure.

I hope we are working on stripping that *** loafers of his degree.

Are we sure that’s not O’Connor?

 

[TimberBeast]

Most of the players wanted the FIU guy that went to Florida with Zimmerman and fought hard for him. But it sounds like this is a very solid hire.

We stole Auburn’s football coach to coach our women’s soccer team. Love it!

That could be a problem if the new guy doesn’t win them over pretty quickly. I think they’ll like the hire though. They’ve seen first hand he’s a good coach.

Well that’s not their fault or the athletic department so nothing they could do. We offered him but he went with Zimmerman.

 

[TimberBeast]

We’re going to lose some players on this too, likely some going with the coaches. Hopefully not many.

 

[Irondawg]

Going with who the players wanted has never worked out very well for us in other sports. That said the asst. at least had a decent resume to back it up from his time at FIU

 

[TimberBeast]

Strength and Conditioning coach for golf and soccer went with him as well.

We didn't want him anyways.

I like this new Irish angle Selmon is taking. O'Connor, Arnett, and now O'Brien.

I can already feel our luck beginning to change

I thought Arnett was Hispanic. Weren’t there some folks claiming we hired the first black and the first Hispanic head football coaches in the SEC?

Also, Greg McDermott took Creighton to the Elite Eight. Might be worth a look.

That sounds familiar, but Arnett is a Scotch/Irish surname, so I am running with it. Fightin Irish Bulldogs FTW

Shirley, the board is still functioning quite well without bringing that particular poster back?

Please make sure nobody says it twice more.

F you Zimmerman.

 

[TimberBeast]

Unfortunately she won’t be the only one.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. This is what I was afraid of. Probably should have hired the former FIU coach who was in staff & the players wanted.
