if stoops was to retire. . .

[getrdone]

Bob has said he will not be coaching forever---that said, if he decided to hang it up--I for one would love to see Harbaugh from Standford on our sidelines if they decided not to promote.

[85sooners]

:gary:

[aero]

HERESY!!!!!

[TXBOOMER]

F Jim Harbaugh! Let not think of such things.

[getrdone]

he's got standford relevant again, and I would love to see a true-pro I offense. smashmouth football

[TXBOOMER]

I didn't say he wasn't a good coach. I just don't like to think about Bob not being our coach.

[stoopified]

Bob will coach at OU forever-YES,I am in denial.

[getrdone]

me either, but I can't see him going past another 3-4 years. . . of course by that time Harbaugh may have moved on....just loved watching that type of football again. . .as for bob not being our coach. . . hard to believe it's been a decade

[stoopified]

In any case Bob will be here another eight years and harbaugh will either have Stanford in high gear or be at a high profile job and be unavailible to OU.Heupel will be the man.

[JLEW1818]

Heupel needs to be an offensive coordinator first.

[TXBOOMER]

Heupel will have to prove himself as a Coordinator before he gets a head job at OU. I think we will take a National Championship Coordinator type when that dreaded day comes. I think Stoops will retire at 60 myself.

[TahoeSOONER]

This^

[JLEW1818]

If Stoops is to coach anywhere down the road, it's Iowa. Only place.

[oumartin]

Christ Peterson will be unstoppable if he was able to recruit the players OU gets. That is the man

[OK2U]

^I kind of agree.
He's one hell of a coach who recruits great players and even greater suport staff.
(he already is unstoppable.)

[agoo758]

Christ Peterson will be unstoppable if he was able to recruit the players OU gets. That is the man

I'd like to believe that, but the former Boise Staters who have underachieved at higher level jobs keeps me skeptical.

[SoonerObsession]

As much as I love Heupel, I don't think he has enough fire in his britches to be a head coach. Every great coach I can think of is not afraid to light someone up on the sidelines when they do something stupid. That's not Josh's style.

[Breadburner]

I want another former DC as coach......

[85Sooner]

I will take anyone from Boise State.

[soonerinkaty]

Gary Patterson. Already knows texas and kicks *** with less talent. I'm all for it, specially if Heuple is the o-cord.

[DarrellZero]

I will take anyone from Boise State.

Josh Heupel was a coach in 2000.......On the field.......really !!!

I did watch him throw gatorade in the face of a whorn who was riding his a$$ this weekend! Was kind of shocked and happy at the same time! :D

Amen. Lock this bull****

[oudavid1]

Mike Leach. Done.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Much like Breadburner said, I'd want another aggressive defensive guy with bright offensive minds on the staff. We need a "tough" guy.

[MrJimBeam]

I would hope the next coach would be an established coordinator from outside the program. But he won't be, and we'll be doomed to a decade of mediocrity. That's why Coach Stoops must stay FOUREVAR!!

[AlbqSooner]

I had to check your profile.
Yep, you are too young to remember Bud Wilkinson.

[sendbaht]

Little bro Mike would have to be a candidate.

Yes Mike....But Bob retires on his 65 birthday,

[OU_Sooners75]

Christ Peterson will be unstoppable if he was able to recruit the players OU gets. That is the man


I dont know about this. They said the same thing about Dan Hawkins when he came out of Boise State.

[BigTime1]

Heupel- I think he would have plenty of fire if he were to be in that position, and do a heck of a job
Venables-I promise you he d stay on everybodys #$*, and he puts together a dang good defense so maybe him for HC and Heup for OC
Leach-I just like ML

[Socrefbek]

Dumbest Thread of the year :rolleyes:

Thats the 4th time in the past two months you have branded a thread dumbest of the year. :D

[boomermagic]

Mike Stoops or Peterson..

[soonerborn30]

I mean, Peterson is good, but CHRIST? I don't know, man.

:D

[stoopified]

As much as I love Heupel, I don't think he has enough fire in his britches to be a head coach. Every great coach I can think of is not afraid to light someone up on the sidelines when they do something stupid. That's not Josh's style.Bud Wilkinson,Tom Landry? Neither were fiery types.Heupel has around 8 years to gain experience and is the most likely person to move to OC after KW departs for his HC shot.

[oumartin]

I mean, Peterson is good, but CHRIST? I don't know, man.

:D



I just now noticed that typo.. oops. :D


Comparing Chris Peterson to Dan Hawkins is simply retarded.

[stoopified]

zI think Petersen is overrated.If he IS all that,why didn't ND,Cincy,USC,Tennessee,Texas Tech,(all of which are much better jobs) not go after him? Answer: he is a nice coach who runs a nice program,he ain't big time.If CP ever leaves BSU he will crash and burn.

[oudavid1]

Mike Leach.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I wouldn't want leach or Mike Stoops as head coach

[oudavid1]

I wouldn't want leach or Mike Stoops as head coach

Wrong. Mike Leach.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Wouldn't want him

[oumartin]

Definately not Mike leach and correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Peterson turned down some big jobs?

If you think he isn't at the top of the game you are mentally retarded. Dude can coach and knows how to put together one heck of a staff.

Mike Stoops, well maybe. course my opinion has always been we got the wrong Stoops running this program.

You may be right, I may be crazy.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

you are crazy..in a hawt kinda way

[mhackl]

LMAO... I was thinking the same thing

[Sooner-N-KS]

Why wouldn't some of you want Mike Stoops?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

While I think Mike Stoops is a good HC, he fits about what Arizona expects..

OU is an elite program...Elite..OU can pull from the greatest coaches/assistants out there..Mike Stoops is not elite HC material IMO

[oumartin]

yes, we proved this with the hiring of Howard and one John Blake. :D

[boomermagic]

Much like Breadburner said, I'd want another aggressive defensive guy with bright offensive minds on the staff. We need a "tough" guy.

Switzer was an OFFENSIVE coach and he did pretty well..:D

[stoops the eternal pimp]

yes, we proved this with the hiring of Howard and one John Blake. :D

Well this program is in a different place than when either of those losers were hired...

and thanks for bringing that up whore

[Sooner-N-KS]

While I think Mike Stoops is a good HC, he fits about what Arizona expects..

OU is an elite program...Elite..OU can pull from the greatest coaches/assistants out there..Mike Stoops is not elite HC material IMO

Bob wasn't an elite coach before coming to OU. He was a good DC at Florida, but not elite yet.

I consider Mike high on the list simply because of what he did with a non-elite school. Add to that what he did with OUr defense and what happened to it when he left.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

once again, what kind of position was OU in when they hired Stoops? Obviously he was a good hire, but the program is in a lot better shape now than it was then..

And Mike Stoops is another guy who gets better every year that he is gone..that defense had issues as well when he was here...

Name the big wins of the arizona program..he has done a good job there, but lets not blow it out of proportion

[Sooner-N-KS]

Beat Iowa already this year. Had a good PAC 10 year last year and beat USC in the process. But again, Arizona is a non-elite school.

[oumartin]

Hey, I made the same argument on another board. Lots better shape now as a program and big time coaches would get in line to coach here.

I was called a fool if I recall. :)

[stoops the eternal pimp]

how many years has he been there? he's lost quite a few he should have won also

Im just saying he's been given an opportunity at Arizona that he fits into...I don't think he will develop into a next level coach..Not dogging the guy...

But I guarantee he would not be on Florida, Ohio State, or the other big boys radar and I sure wouldnt want to hire him because he is bob's brother or coached defense well here

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Hey, I made the same argument on another board. Lots better shape now as a program and big time coaches would get in line to coach here.

Exactly...you think they were lining up in the mid 90's? Heck even Bob told one of his buddies he had made the biggest mistake of his life coming here after taking the job

[StoopTroup]

how many years has he been there?

Who Martin? :D

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I know how long he has been around...I rove him rong time

[oumartin]

Who Martin? :D




you're just itchin' for a beatdown aren't ya. :)


yeah, I heard that story but wasnt' it due to him losing all his free time. Not necessarily the job he took.

I laughed at OU hiring those two clowns because I know it's one of the few top jobs out there and a coach would be a fool to turn it down. I still remember wanting Jim Donnan.(sp)

[EstablishedSooner1967]

Well you could not get him but... Nick Saban
So gettable
Brent Venables
Josh Heupel
Chris Peterson
Gary Patterson
if they all pass..... who ever will take it.

[StoopTroup]

I know how long he has been around...I rove him rong time

You shouldn't be so hard around the shaft....I mean the neck.

http://www.customguitars.com/images/neckbreakbefore.jpg

[oumartin]

I wouldn't want Saban. Is he a great coach yes, but he is the devil.

Josh hasn't proven anything yet. Not to say he wouldn't be great but that would be a unproven hire.

Venables, no thanks

Chris Peterson.. you betcha

Gary Paterson=saban jr.


How about lane kiffin? ;)

[cyclonesooner]

Harbaugh and Petersen would both be great choices if that opportunity ever presents itself. Leach will never get the opportunity. Personality, arrogance, rub too many people the wrong way. Too much french-pastry offensive philosophy and lack of defensive emphasis for me.

[StoopTroup]

Josh

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Wouldnt want Heupel and Venables at HC...Heupel eventually but at least let him be an OC first for a while.

Peterson
Patterson
Sarkisian maybe

How about Malzahn?

I dunno...

[Mad Dog Madsen]

How bout Switzer? Hell, how bout Bear Bryant?!? :rolleyes:

[soonerborn30]

Does anybody think that maybe there's something wrong with Gary Patterson? I mean, TCU's been good for a while now, and yet there he stays in Fort Worth. I tend to think there's a reason he's still there.

With that being said, I'd want someone young, hungry, and someone that appreciated who we were and where we've come from. Someone clean (obviously) and someone that coached or could find someone to coach punishing defense. This person would need to be able to recruit their *** off to be able to keep up with ole butterteef and the rest of the cartel south of the Red. After all those requirements, I find myself with zero names. Anybody?

[OUthunder]

Chuck Norris, he knows how to recruit Texas and kick *** and take names.

[oumartin]

Gary Patterson is a huge a-hole from what I hear. probably doesn't interview well.

[Mississippi Sooner]

Exactly...you think they were lining up in the mid 90's? Heck even Bob told one of his buddies he had made the biggest mistake of his life coming here after taking the job

Yep. I remember after Gibbs got the boot, and then even more so after the Reign of Terror, there was no realist talk of being able to bring in an elite coach. I remember there was talk of trying to bring in John Madden at one point. It was that ridiculous. A lot of people thought we got a steal with Howard, but few could fathom how fast his ego would torpedo him.

It's 180 degrees different now. That's why I think Stoops is here for the duration (of how long he wants to keep coaching). Hard to get more prestigious than Oklahoma now, and he's already rooted in the community as well as the school.

I believe the issue is Patterson turned down offers. If I remember right he was offered the KSU spot. Maybe he just likes where he is until he gets an elite offer.
