Shiatttt! Just when I was starting to feel slightly optimistic about things.

 

UGH!

 

Now that I have picked myself up off the floor I would like to add that now is the time for a really, really, really high profile hire. Hire somebody with a name, and success record that is recognized around the world, and do it real quick like!

 

Wow. Did not see that coming, and I wonder if that factored into the decision to keep Kish. We absolutely must make a splash replacement hire.

 

Noooo kish was supposed to leave not yoooou

While I hate to see him go, it speaks volumes about the quality of people Stoops
hires. It appears they all did it the right way, after NSD...the kids certainly won't
begrudge a coach going to the next level, like they might if the coach went to
another college....

 

Sucks for us, but good for him!

Now Stoops must go find a D line coach that can relate to the players and deliver in recruiting. Not an easy task.

At least he (Monty) did it in a timely manner, so that Stoops has plenty of time to move. I'd be surprised if Stoops didn't know about this prior to NSD.

 

This is both terrible and also validating: the guy is/was elite level. For all the morons who wanted him gone, and you know who you are, apparently you believe yourselves to be better football minds than people who are paid, literally, millions a year to get it done. And, to unpack that for you: that means you were utterly wrong about him.

 

Awful news----Lets outbid the Packers

 

I'm sad for our recruits. We crucify other schools for this same stuff, so my opinion is that any player he recruited should be let out of their NLOI and allowed to sign elsewhere.

 

I think that would be all of them.

 

I think that OU is feeling like the recruits are. I think we knew it was a possibility, and that's probably why we upgraded him to co-DC, but it doesn't seem like we knew this would happen.

 

Stoops should have camped in Monty's yard singing "Stay with Me" all day. It swept the Grammy's, so it might have worked.

 

Yeah, but then Tom Petty would be pissed.

 

more reason to despise the Packers

 

See post #8....bet he's spot on....

 

Nah, he would get his cut.

The Grammys are the only entertainment awards I watch because it's like a real variety show. Tony Bennett singing with Lady Gaga - how cool is that? But by the end of this one, I was soooo sick of "Stay with Me". Fortunately, I DVR'd it and used Mr. Fastforward button.

 

Rumor has it that Bob actually fired Monty, because he wasn't able to get enough good linemen to run a 4-3.

My source will be here soon to confirm.
