Why would OU do this? Decent chance they have a bad year. Schedule is brutal

 

[Seinfeld]

The more that schools keep paying these absurd salaries, the less it makes me want to ever contribute again. Especially knowing that there’s a god awful buyout baked in there somewhere

If boosters want to foot the bill, have at it. I’m not giving up a family vacation for this BS, though

True. It’s not like some big blue blood school has been knocking on his door.

Why? He’s 32-20 & alternates 1 good year & 1 bad year. And while the good years are Mississippi State good. They’re not all that great by Oklahoma past standards.

His year by year record are 6-7, 10-3, 6-7, 10-3. They had kind of a charmed season last year, won at least three games they easily could’ve lost. They’re looking 7-5 right in the face this season.

if he can win 9 with that schedule, they'll be in the playoffs.

History would say 6-7...

Is he looking for an Offensive Co-ordinator?

Is he looking for an Offensive Co-ordinator?

If he is, I’m sure it will be a successful one.

 

[GloryDawg]

I was kind of thinking if he didn't make the play offs this season he would be gone. Guess not.

 

[basedawg]

Kinda weird for a 6-year contract to me, I kinda doubt some blue blood school is knocking the door down for his service. I think he is an ok coach but coaching the Sooners is much easier than say Msu. Just saying.

Maybe. But no regular season 2-loss team made the playoffs & the next two out only had 2 losses. Have to go to 3rd team out (Texas) to find a 3 regular season loss team.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

I think he's a good coach. It's good bit harder to win at Oklahoma now, in the SEC, than it was previously.
