I wish Joe C. would say something

[stoopified]

One way or another and get it over with.If Jrff is done then fire him and start looking for his replacement.If you(as I believe) are retaining him ,it is time to send a loud and clear signal to that effect.Unchecked speculation doesn't do Jeff or the program ahy good. I'm certain the decision has been made so let's get on with it and allow Jeff to step out of the shadow being cast by the perception of uncertainty OR let the search begin.

I assume Joe has good reason for not acting quickly ,however I must admit I have no idea what the reason or reasons may be. I sincerely hope we get our answer soon.I also fervently wish that whatever the decision is that the Sooner basketball family pulls together to help us back to a Sooner level of sucess.

I am a solid supporter of Capel BUT I will fully support OU should the decision be made to go another direction.My biggest concern is OU.I have loved ,followed,supported the Sooners through thick and thin since 1969(at age 9) through my all too brief college experience through to this very day.

I say it is time to fish or cut bait.Boomer Sooner.

Lookin for a coach?

[FenwayFaithfulSooner]

I really thought that by today we would have heard something. One way or the other. The silence is surprising to me. I just want this saga to be over. It is time to move on and focus our attention on next season.

I thought he said he is stayin...no?..thought I read that somewhere...

[Rock Hard Corn Frog]

Isn't coming out and issuing a statement that Capel is staying is like the dreaded "vote of confidence". I take the lack of any statement at this point to mean he is staying.

i'd be trying to make sure i could upgrade before giving him his walking papers...

who could we get that would for sure be better?

actually I heard at one time Izzo said if he ever were to leave MSU it would be to coach Oklahoma

[soonervegas]

You are terrible oumartin....

[StoopTroup]

Something.

[PhiDeltBeers]

No news is good news?

[FenwayFaithfulSooner]

If Izzo came here I might **** myself. That guy has always been a pretty good coach and is a winner. Kind of like Charlie Sheen, he's WINNING!

[Sooner74]

Seriously, Joe C not making a statement is probably for the best. If he came out that would mean Jeff was on the hot seat and Joe didn't have confidence in him. I doubt Joe C is looking for a coach then backdoor Jeff. That would be trashy. I bet you he is waiting till Tech fills there coaching slot and wants to see if it is BCG. If he gets that job, I think Jeff stays. I think if Joe C thinks BCG would come here, that he would cut Jeff loose.

I don't think he's pulling the plug or he would have said something by now. Since he isn't going to, then there isn't a reason to say anything publicly.

He doesn't come out each year and say "Bob Stoops will be our coach next year", so no reason to do so with Capel.

Since it only appears that minor to slight improvement is possible for next year (barring some unforseen huge recruiting grab), I would have to think Joe is giving Capel at least a couple of more years to turn things around. There would be no reason to keep him and set a totally unrealistic expectation for just one more year.

Of course, if next year is a fiasco then next year could be the end for Capel, or if the NCAA stuff involves him in more ways than just being the one that hired that assistant.

So I would say as of right now, it appears its two more years for Capel. I hope he gets it turned around. Cant say I have great hope, but I do hope so.

Aren't Mondays ususally the day?

The only thing I can think of is that Joe C. wants to wait until after the Big 12 tourney.Why,I don't really know as both OU eams are done.Maybe he is being a Big 12 guy ,not wanting to distract from the spotlight on teams still playing. this weekend.

[soonerbub]

Just what is he supposed to say? Our coach is under contract for at least 4 more years. If Joe was gonna whack Jeff he would've already.

That is excatly my point.The speculation is rampant as to Capel's staus.Local media more so than kational media continues to speculate about Capel's status.That is being used against OU in rcruiting.A strong joint statement by Boren and JoeC. that Capel is the coach now and for the future(even if they don't really mean the last part) solidifys Capel's status for the all important recruiting process.Secondly it would stop the rumours by those who want Capel fired.

so, this sucky recruiting class is on Joe C. I like it
