Missing those two guys absolutely crippled our pass offense, yet we still scored 41 points, and could have easily been in the 50's had we not let up in the fourth quarter.

    We have three losses in nov, and we won without our qb and best player, we might have even played better without them because it makes josh not spike himself with the play calling. I think it puts things in greater perspective...

    What the h.ell kind of attitude is that ? That gratitude crap will only serve to control your stress and lower your blood pressure, so be careful.

    It doesn't matter what you game plan or scheme if the players on the field don't execute. It wasn't JH's fault when Hunnicut got snake bit and left 9 points on the field, not his fault Sterling pulled a groin muscle and that Trevor went down. The only thing Josh did, not so much lately, was the old Mangino "treat first down like it's a throwaway down".

    The Pukes pay their OC $400K per year and he is in so far over his head they are going to have to pipe air to him or run him off.

    I hate this business of fans discussing salaries like they are paying it out of their own pocket. Bottom line is that the OC is Bob's decision and it is too bad that the last QB to deliver a National Championship is being talked about like he is a doofus by a bunch of arm chair QBs.
    There's Only ONE Oklahoma!

    I wouldn't take Josh's job even though $605k is way more than I'm currently paid. At least people don't hate me for going to work everyday at my 99 percenter job, so I'll stick with that.

    But yeah, I would be an OC upgrade.

    Ever since you told me I don't know football while seeing more of your comments, I feel better about my knowledge daily. There is no doubt josh doesn't know what he has even at half time in some games. I'm actually surprised he didn't come out fun and gun this game...
    I'm happy that you've convinced yourself you know the game. It's very apparent to me that you do not. Please, point out any of my comments that show my lack of knowledge. Based on what you've posted here, I feel very comfortable saying my knowledge of the game exceeds yours by light years. You should probably stick to watching the games and pretending you know what's going on.

So please, do us all a favor and be more real, this isn't a college classroom where a number 2 pencil would be offended if someone else had a number 1 pencil.
    So, tell me exactly what Heupel has done so badly. Avoid the "he's a bad play caller", or "he didn't use the right offense" generalizations. I want tangible proof that he's a bad coordinator. Take your time, I'll wait.

    I read the article, and I still don't see anything that says he's leaving. In fact, it says the opposite:

    Josh Heupel is a problem that isn’t going away. I say that because of Stoops’ reluctance to fire coordinators in the past. Also because Heupel’s salary of $605,000 this season places him among the highest paid coordinators in the country. But rest assured, until Heupel is out of Norman, Oklahoma’s offense will lack the consistency and continuity that it takes to win at the highest level.

    Refer to the article, as he makes my points for me. He will be gone because stoops
    Won't see his aptitude at being offensive coordinator as you do. He will leave, but you will say because he got a promotion not taking any integrity hit...

    Yeah, and how's Mike working out? We have had a horrible defense for the majority of the year.

    I'm not talking about arbitrary statements. I want you to tell me, exactly, what Heupel has done that makes him a horrible OC. If he's gone at the end of the year, then I will suspect it's because Stoops told him it was time to move on. If he's not, which he won't be, then I will assume I was right...and you'll continue to profess that anyone that doesn't agree with you has a low football IQ.

    He had some pretty weak calls on crucial 3rd and 4th downs in both the TCU and KSU games. Overall I would give him a B- for the year.
    Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.

    It worked for Ricky Bobby.
