Jeff Capel!!!!! Jeff ****ing Capel, Mutha****as!!!!

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

They obviously must not do the 'bubble drill'.

Do you know anything about scoring droughts?

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

also says he's not Lumbee.

strange.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

What happened to "home run" hire? I think Joe C. is trying to save $ or something. I'm so confused.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

I will suggest, ever so slightly, that perhaps, just perhaps, a few people here overestimated OU's ability to attract some of the well-known names thrown around on this board and other boards. But its only a suggestion. As a labeled sunshine pumper, I've just got to be optimistic that we will do well and try see the light halo around all that happens in the coming seasons.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

Damn people...you all need to just relax. This coach COULD be a great hire...at 31 he has the potential to be at OU for a long time. I have mixed emotions about the hire, but I am damn sure going to wait and see how OUr players react to him and what sort of team he puts on the court.

OH...and if Nick doesn't like the hire...then it must be a good thing.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

When did I say I didn't like the hire? I just don't know if he's a good coach or a bad coach.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

no idea how good he'll be, but I think its kind of cool they got someone completely off the radar. Im excited for someone really young to be in there.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

I think it's kind of funny. All the big names that were flying around here the last few weeks, and Joe hires Jeff Capel.

I'm not bashing Capel though - we needs to give the guy a chance.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

How can you not love this hire????

What with how well young coaching acolytes of Coach K have done to date.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

Of course we'll lose him to Duke as soon as Coach K retires.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

I'm going to echo all the people that mentioned Bob Stoops on here when I say:

-He was never a head coach before he came here.
-He is too young
-He certainly must know nothing about offense, and therefore we will be a team with good D and no O
-Blake sucked, but we'll only get worse from here with this hire
-This new AD is a total idiot and needs to be fired. How could he hire a guy with no head coaching experience to replace a guy who had no head coaching experience? He must be a moron.
-Has anybody ever even heard of this guy Stoops? His name rhymes with Poops, for crying out loud.

Everybody needs to calm down and see what happens. Might just be Joe found a diamond in the rough. Might be he didn't. Time will tell.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

Do his teams get up and down the floor?

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

save this thread...it will be funny if he is the next Bob Stoops.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

The averaged 67 ppg last year.............1 point less than Kelvin's Sooner team.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

I can't believe we couldn't land someone more known than this guy.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

OK, so what happened to 7-10 days? What was that all about? Was this some sort of mask on hiring this relative unknown? Anyway...

...I'm happy he's here. It might take him a couple of years, but maybe his enthusiasm can help attract big crowds, and maybe coaching at a big school will allow him to open up his offense. I just have a feeling that we missed a big mistake by not hiring Sturgeon and that we have hired basketball's Stoops. That means in 2007-2008, he better damn well win a title.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

At least BS was known, and was a "hot commodity".

This guy? Not so much.

I hope he is though.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

That should fill LNC.

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

A relatively obscure Billy Donovan went from a small school at the age of 31 to coach Florida, that turned out okay.

I like this hire. My very first reaction was "WTF!?11!?" but changed my mind after thinking about it for a few minutes. I'm excited!

 

Re: Jeff Capel? Jeff ****ing Capel??????

Agreed. Since we had never won a title in Football before Stoops got here, either.

I said it once before, and I'll probably get the same response for saying it now, we are a FOOTBALL school. No way we would ever get a big name to coach basketball here. At least, not until we win a title and increase OUr profile as a basketball program.
