Wilson to Indiana

[w0lfe]

Just heard they will be having a press conference today to finalize it

[...sooner]

time? & where can i hear?

[OklahomaTuba]

Joe Schad sure seems to think its a done deal.

[jumperstop]

All the Wilson haters are going to happy. Who replaces him?

[OklahomaTuba]

Given Stoops's history I would think Norvell would be a lock.

[oudavid1]

he is gone. just confirmed it via email

[badger]

ANY source out there?

[OklahomaTuba]

He hasn't updated his twitter account yet, but he was pretty confident about it on ESPN radio just now.

ANY source out there?

Must be one of those "brother-in-law's grandmas prison pen pal" sources

[oumartin]

Kevin, this is what happens when you think outside your box and start calling some new plays. You get a job.

Your welcome.

loud mouf unhappy Sooner fans

[batonrougesooner]

Good for him. Hope he does well.

FWIW I've never been a "Fire Wilson" guy. :D

[BoulderSooner79]

We need the name of the replacement ASAP, so we can start bagging on him.

[OUNASH]

Just when we get him broke in right, he leaves. The nerve!!!!

[badger]

Do pray tell, how Wilson to Indiana is a done deal when he reportedly isn't even interviewing up there till tonight?

Interview first, THEN job. Interview, job. Not job, interview. Job interview, yes, but not job, interview.

is there an echo in here?

Fire OC X!!!!!!

[soonerboy_odanorth]

Given Stoops's history I would think Norvell would be a lock.

Had the same thought, and not sure what to think about it. I recognize he was simply running Callenberger's offense at NU, but his offenses there and at UCLA were pretty underwhelming. Though, that probably was a function of what those schools had for athletes at the time. Guessing if Stoops goes that route they also elevate Heupel to Co-Offensive Coord. As long as they keep the system and add their own "flavas" in the way of wrinkles to the offense Wilson installed I'll be happy with it.

But one thing seems evident to me: We have to stay with the no huddle because of the pressure it puts on defenses. It certainly is the current wave of "innovation" in CFB, much as the wishbone was at one time.

A friend of mine had another theory... Stoops pulls Mangino back in. But I don't think there's any way that happens. (The problems he had at Kansas with the player abuse he was rumored to have here, too.) Isn't the general consensus that he was encouraged to throw his hat in the ring for open jobs?

Anyway, here we go again with the coaching speculation craziness....

[Cornfed]

I hope they hire Larry Lacewell

[BoomerJack]

Fire OC X!!!!!!

Fire the Yet to be Named Offensive Co-Ordinator!!

[budbarrybob]

Fire OC X!!!!!!

bwhahahahahaha (spit coke up) pffft hahahaha :D

That wasn't me - the website just gave me an IO error report and posted it twice. I didn't hit send twice - always blame the computer.

Interview first, THEN job. Interview, job. Not job, interview. Job interview, yes, but not job, interview.Maybe they go to bed early in Indiana?

[Widescreen]

We oughta ask Mack Brown if he wants to come back as our OC.

[oumartin]

i heard he's gonna wanna try to hire Bob to coach special teams.

[budbarrybob]

[QUOTE=soonerboy_odanorth;3072383]A friend of mine had another theory... Stoops pulls Mangino back in. [QUOTE]

Please God in heaven No Mangino. I don't think the athletic budget could support feeding the team AND MM. :eek:

[Soonerfan88]

I'm not a Wilson hater but I'll be really happy that he's going if he takes Patton along with him. Can we please get an OL coach that understands both pass and run blocking? And no, don't bring back Mangino!

[oumartin]

bring back Chuck Mangino

or heck Mark Long

[OKLA21FAN]

no love for Garrett McGee? :pop:

[OklahomaTuba]

Greg Davis is available.

[badger]

Cale to future offensive coordinator hot prospects:

"We want you, we need you, but we're going to win with or without you."

:D

[OklahomaTuba]

Well if dean says it true, it must be true.

no love for Garrett McGee? :pop:

Never heard of him.

[CrimsonRez]

I vote Jason Garrett ;)

[Leroy Lizard]

Greg Davis is available.

If GD thinks he had it rough in Austin, wait until the Sooner faithful tear into him.

[Scott D]

I vote Jason Garrett ;)

I would fear how he would sabotage the offense to get Bob fired ;)

[OKLA21FAN]

Never heard of him.

his twin is named Garrick

[usaosooner]

Justin Feuentes... now

[soonerboy_odanorth]

no love for Garrett McGee? :pop:

Garrick already has an OC position, and I don't see bringing in someone as the boss over two guys who have put in their time and are considered pretty hot commodities themselves. If I'm not mistaken Norvell has been mentioned a number of times in the coaching carousel as a potential HC, much less OC.

My money is on Norvell to be offered the position.

That is, of course, if Wilson does indeed accept the job. If there is no coaching change(s) for us this year for 2011 I'll be perfectly happy.

Agreed on all counts.

[Scott D]

I've heard that Lee Corso is a lock for the Indiana job, and he's bringing in Gerry DiNardo as the defensvie coordinator.

[beegee]

Fire the Yet to be Named Offensive Co-Ordinator!!

To avoid future "fire <insert OC here> threads", maybe we should just not even hire one. Landry can just wing it, and draw up plays on the football in the huddle like we did as kids... :D

[BoulderSooner79]

I can see an early posting:

What's this huddle BS? While we're twiddling our thumbs in the huddle, they are bringing in fresh DLs and what happens? They get a sack. Wouldn't have happened if we trapped them out with tired DLs with the no huddle. Fire XXX!

[SoonerRecon]

We need the name of the replacement ASAP, so we can start bagging on him.

Greg Davis...

[VA Sooner]

When does he go is the big question. Does he leave after the bowl game or before? Tends to affect our bowl outcomes.

[w0lfe]

Dana holgerson! He invented football! And the diamond formation remember!

[Keller Sooner]

Mike Leach.

Now that would be funny. Although I'm sure Josh would be thinking WTF.

[I Am Right]

All the Wilson haters are going to happy. Who replaces him?

Norvell!

I think they should publicly offer it to Mike Gundy just for humors sake. I mean he did develop the most powerful offense in the history of the world.

Please, no. He might take it. :eek:

Hell I would let him take it just to see the meltdown on OP.com

Never heard of him.

[oudavid1]

Its going to be Norvell or a combination of Heupel/Norvell from what im hearing.

[SoonerMom2]

That works for me -- give them both a huge raise. I like the fire that Norvell has -- fits perfectly with Stoops and Josh is why are quarterbacks are so good! Who would have thought when we got Josh Heupel as our quarterback in 1999 that he would turn into such an outstanding coach. What a recruit he was.

i hope your right. I really dont want to lose any of em either.

[SoonerObsession]

Coach Wilson has been a great offensive coach and I wish him well in Indiana.

[NorCal Sooner]

Hoping for Heupel.

[AlboSooner]

Does anybody know why Cale Gundy's name is never brought up?

[Soonerman82]

So is it official that he's gone?

[Frozen Sooner]

Does anybody know why Cale Gundy's name is never brought up?

No interest. He likes his job.

[AlboSooner]

No interest. He likes his job.

Is this from Cale or people around him are saying this?

[Frozen Sooner]

So sayeth 47Sooner. Generally when he makes a pronouncement like that about the staff, it's a good idea to listen.

[sooner59]

Bob Barry Jr. reporting via Sports Animal that Wilson has taken the Indiana HC job.

[Dwight]

I hope it's Huepel.

[KC//CRIMSON]

Coach Wilson has been a great offensive coach inside the BIG12, but lays an egg outside of the conference when it matter most. and I wish him well in Indiana.

+1

[soonerbub]

He enjoyed beating Nebraska so much he wants to do it again next year :cool:

[Soonrs]

Bob will choose experience so Norvell will be the main OC. If it is going to be a CO position, Gundy would be the run game Co-Offensive Coordinator but he might not take it. I think Josh will get left out.

[OU_Sooners75]

and some experience he has!!! let me tell you I want an oc that was very mediocre at ucla and flat out terrible at Nebraska!

[okiedokie]

Do we stick with the diamond formation? was this even Wilson's call?

[SoonerMom2]

Bob will choose experience so Norvell will be the main OC. If it is going to be a CO position, Gundy would be the run game Co-Offensive Coordinator but he might not take it. I think Josh will get left out.

PJ Mills was saying tonight on KREF it will be Norvell as the head OC and Josh will be the Asst OC to give him the experience he needs to eventually take over as OC when and if Norvell leaves.

Gundy has said he doesn't want any job other than the one he has according to what various people are saying.

[w0lfe]

I have a good feeling it will be norvell. But from what i remember, he didnt have much success as OC at Neb or the other schools

[Sooners78]

I'm not a Wilson hater but I'll be really happy that he's going if he takes Patton along with him. Can we please get an OL coach that understands both pass and run blocking? And no, don't bring back Mangino!

I think Patton has done an amazing job rebuilding the OL considering where it was a year ago. The problems we had on the line last season were not Patton's fault. The offense is clicking right now; it ran into a buzzsaw Saturday night in Dallas, but that was to be expected. It was just effective enough to win. Only OSU and Iowa St. put up more than 23 points against Nebraska.

[boomermagic]

I would prefer we bring in some new blood at OC but I'll be fine with whoever Bob decides on..

[ocsooner]

He enjoyed beating Nebraska so much he wants to do it again next year :cool:

^:D

[texaspokieokie]

how bout larry coker ???

[LiveLaughLove]

Dean Blevins said last night that Cale WOULD want the job.

I can't imagine him saying, "nah, I don't want to be all I can be."

Doesn't sound like Cale to me. I am dubious on these "people" saying he doesn't want the job.

[texaspokieokie]

agree.

[tommieharris91]

I'm holding out hope that Greg Davis becomes OU's next OC.

[OUNC06]

One of the reasons Bob Stoops has consistently won conference championships is promotes internally. This keeps continuity of philosophy between staff and players.

I hope we do bring in a new Oline coach who can improve the run blocking.

Latest on Wilson leaving here. (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OU/article.aspx?subjectid=92&articleid=20101207_92_0_Itappe906742) Left Norman's airport and flying to Indy. Good luck, Kevin! Don't forget to use mouthwash after kissing the little brown jug!

[BoulderSooner79]

Does anyone think KW leaving could cause some of our '11 verbal commits to look elsewhere?

[badger]

depends on who takes over

[BoulderSooner79]

depends on who takes over

Yeah, I suppose if we go the wishbone, some of the receivers might reconsider ;)

[gernblansten]

Does anybody know why Cale Gundy's name is never brought up?

Yes.
