Agree with cvsooner's comments. Also, didn't know why we'd go for him until I read the recruiting tie per 8timechampion's post. Makes sense now.
I think OU has a pretty agressive program on reclaiming players, and Stoops as been known to forgive if they walk the line....Dusty Dvoracek's case comes to immediate mind. This guy was at the height of his career & got put in Bob's doghouse, but made it out & did what was right.
On the other hand, would agree he's on a very short leash. An educated guess is that with one miscue, he's out, and he has to know that. You can bet there's a lot more to this story than we're seeing/hearing in the press.
Folks can aysay all they want, but agree with the "In Bob we Trust" sentiment. I believe Bob is firm and consistent with his players on discipline, but he does believe in second chances. However, if you squander you second change, you're gone.
