Coaches Poll vote
Coach ***************,
I am a proud Sooner fan who was around in 1995 for your one year stint in Norman and can honestly say the march with the team I made before the Colorado game was one of my most fun experiences as an OU fan. At 3-0, I was drinking the Bourbon laced kool aid you were serving up. Needless to say, the season peaked with Jajuan Penny’s touchdown catch that put us up 17-7 and Owen Field had not rocked like that since the days of Barry Switzer. O’Connor’s was selling beers by the bushel at that point.
Well, it went downhill in a heap and you were immediately let go. Things did not turn out like you had hoped and I understand that. But that was 1995. It’s 2006. And the fact you are still bitter enough to throw your credibility out the window with your vote and place the University of Oklahoma at number 18 is reprehensible and speaks to the reasons why a state full of good, honest people like Oklahoma had to send you on your way after just one year. From the practices without water to your handing over OSU at least two wins over OU with the botched recruiting of R.W. McQuarters, you earned your pink slip in every way. The dark days of OU football in the 90’s ironically has you at the zenith in 1995.
I’m sure you have learned from your experience and I’m happy for you that you found your way back into coaching, something you obviously used to be better at and enjoy doing. But get over yourself and your bitterness. It doesn’t bode well for an elderly man with a high consumption of alcohol. What you attempted to do to OU in the polls is unprofessional, shows no class and wreaks of jealousy for the tremendous job Bob Stoops has done resurrecting a proud, great program that you left in need of an overhaul. In fact, he’s done so well, I think “books are being written and movies are being made.”
So do everyone a favor. Get over it and be a man of integrity when you vote.
Best Regards,
The Maestro
