    Zero chance Brad Stevens comes here.

    John Kochtoston CEO, Devastation, Inc.

    Given that his one of the three best hoops coaches in OU history, it's understandable.

    I'm no fan of sampsons and don't condone what he did. I was ready for him to go.

    My point is his teams were always competitive, regardless of talent. He coached them and adapted. I don't see that happening now.

    With Blake it was easy. Maybe too easy. Without him, not so much.

    The biggest mistake Capel has made is recruiting low character prima Dona types though. His evaluation system in that regard needs a serious upgrade. It's killed our program.

    HEY! Lets hear it for CAPEL. Great coach wonderful talent and a
    great style of play. If we can keep his mule's for 4 more years
    they will be mules with experience. But just better mules. A mule
    has never won the Kentucky Derby. And never will. Just Thoroughbreds.
    There is no reason for him to chew them out for turnovers and mistakes.
    They can not help it. They do not have the talent. He got what he recruited.
    MULES ! You do not punish a mule for being a mule. If you want something
    different you have to recruit something different. They give good effort
    they just can not play at this level. Another year of maturity and they
    will still be mules, just year older.
    I have learn to except it and cheer the players for thier effort. But I do not cheer
    Capel.

    So you say that you will cheer "the players."

    Is this before, after, or during you repeatedly call them "mules," "mules with experience," "MULES!" or "mules, just a year older?"

    Not meant as an insult. I was a mule, a walk on not talented enough
    to play at that level. I practiced and work hard every day but I was
    still a mule (not much talent) As a reward for my hard work the
    coach let me play in the last 2 minutes if we were ahead by 20 or
    more. The starter could come out to a standing ovation and not risk
    injury in the last 2 minutes of a game already won.
    I think today the players use the word scrubs. Which to me sounds
    more distastful than the word old word mule. Little Sampson played the same
    role he did not get angry, he new what part he played.

    To Capel's credit, Kellen Sampson was able to stay with the program even after his dad left... but if Capel was fired, would his successor offer the same courtesy to some of our current workhorse (or "mules" as red said) players who will gut out this season for better or for worse?

    i don't like how willie is just thrown in with tiny and TMG as one of the bad guys...sure he disappointed last season, and he wasn't a very good leader...and it was frustrating to watch him play at many different times...but i don't put him in the same company as TMG and Tiny, IMO.

    From my experience with coaches, what they say and what they truly think are generally two separate things. This only becomes more true when speaking in front of an audience. He may well think that those three kids may have lost him his job at OU, but do you think it would do him any favors to say that? No. You can't talk bad about the people you've worked with, especially if you're the one who brought them in. It looks bad.

    Done with people that never showed up at the games. Done with all of the whiners. Student section was hardly full (for those who attended the school). OU is a program! We won a National Championship in Football and went to the Final Four when I was a student. I had season tickets.... and went! Where were you cry babys then??? Sampson was amazing without McDonald's All Americans. ,,,and his name is KelVIN

    Zero chance we get ANYONE worth a damn.. old or young.... I guess we can always beg Terry Evans to come over and pay him 1.5 mil a year? He can always go back to the Broncs when he doesn't win 25 games/year as expected?

    wrong....
    we would have no trouble getting a competent coach to replace capel...
    we have resources.....we have a winning tradition...we have facilities...
    we were not long ago a fixture at the top of a good conference...
    your memory is short and your analysis is dead wrong...
    fire capel and move on....he doesn't have a clue what he is doing....he's john blake on hardwood....
    get gregg marshall from wichita st. before someone else gets him..

    one issue i had with willie is he said it was "his team" last year & instead of stepping up & trying to become a leader or whatever he just pouted & had beef with tmg... really i think willie is a nice guy & im glad to see him doing well with the clippers but that just really bothered me.

    I don't really care for a big name coach. There has to be a better coach than this. We basically have no system.
