The world didn't end and the sun did did come up this morning.
I thought for sure after reading some of the threads yesterday that Armageddon would happen.
Last week everyone was complaining about TK and yes he had that very bad int but the team over came that and had a chance for victory. Look at his stats this week they were very good. If we give him plays that he can make the numbers will be there. We do have a few play makers once they get the ball in their hands.
Many of you are calling for Bob's head, you guys are crazy. Is there a better HC out there that would come to OU? We have stability and that's what is needed at the top. Do we need better position coaches, possibly. Could the play calling be better, of course it could but to say Bob needs to go would be the worse thing that could happen at this point. Look at the top programs and see how many coaches they go through before finding the next best one. It's hard to replace a legend and the next coach becomes a legend too. Look at the years between Barry and Bob, is that what we want?
Does it suck to lose? Sure it does, but it's just a game. Many of you never played beyond high school or have ever coached beyond youth leagues and have all the answers, it's hard to play or coach at the D1 level let alone what level everyone on this board wants.
I'm not saying everything is rosey but it could be worse than it is. Last year we got the bounces, ie fumble recoveries going our way. Look at just the past two weeks, there were 4 opportunities where we could have had 4 recoveries but the ball bounced the other way. Is that coaching or bad plays by our team? No, just the way it goes sometimes. We could easily be undefeated but at the same time we could be looking at a3-4 game losing streak.
The Sugar Bowl was a blessing in disguise. After beating Bama everyone just assumed we were back at the top and could compete for a NC but we still have to play the games and to think you could go undefeated in the Big12 is asking too much. If we win outright will the season be a success? Not in the eyes of many, but if the growth of the young players is there, than yes.
