I might as well go ahead and start this......Fire Lincoln Riley. He's been on the job over an hour and I'm not impressed.

Then maybe Spavital and he can bring Murray with him...Hey, it could happen.

Not true! There's still a "Fire Garrick McGee" thread floating out there somewhere.
If we're so concerned about ESPN showing us as running the ball more than we throw it, we can just arrange for our QB to get sacked a few more times. I'm sure that would win us a NC.
It's obvious that Air-Raid offenses have had success, so why do you guys act like it can't win us a NC? If Leach didn't run into the best OU team since Switzer, he'd have been playing in the NC game at Tech, and that's with half the resources we have here at OU. Sure, there are far more conference and national champions that don't run the Air-Raid offense, but what do you expect? There's usually 5 or less teams running the Air-Raid offense vs 100+ that aren't, so it's not a fair statistic at all. Furthermore, how many of those teams running the Air-Raid offense are top-level schools like OU? TCU passed the ball similar to 60-40 (don't you dare use statistics that include QB scrambles and sacks against me), and was one of the top 2 football teams in the country this year. In the NFL, only two teams ran the ball more than they passed it, and there was only one in 2013.
It's not about WHAT you run. It's about HOW you run it.
I wondered how long it would take.
What? The name of our greatest president (outside of Big George, of course)?

I only count Washington as our greatest because of the positive precedents he set. He was a tad too Federalist for me.
Indeed. I'm biased towards preservation of the endeavor. Try to walk off with a chunk? I'm all for killin' to keep it whole. Hopefully Mr. Riley will share that attitude as concerns things that serve or don't serve the interests of the OU football team.

Really?
He played/coached under Leach at Tech. So, No, I don't think that is a connection to Bob.
Where did we rank in run offense this year? How did that work out for us?
Why doesn't it surprise me that there are already fans complaining about this hire before the guy has even spent one night in Norman?
Stoops really should read message boards, because clearly there are football geniuses that are so much smarter than he is, and they're all posting on message boards!
How many Pass happy NCs do we have? Or you just prefer to win 9 or 10 games a year?
And then they would have lost worse than we did.
Hopefully it will work out for us though
"We just try hard to fit it to our personnel. As an offensive staff, we don’t have an ego on this deal. We don’t say we have to run it this many times or throw it this many times. We just want to score points and do what we can to help win.”...Lincoln Riley

You are just taking the easy way out.
If you are critical your not supportive.
If you are supportive then if it doesn't work out in 3-4 years you can say "Well at least we gave him a shot". Keep clapping for the hire. I hope you are right. I just think finesse football won't win on the big stage.
ignore this
You can't tell me what to do, sir.
Lol well I accidentally posted a bunch of random letters I can change it back to that if you'd like
You do realize that you have to win the conference to have a shot at the playoffs, right?!
How do you know he's only going to win 9 or 10 games a year? How do you know he won't incorporate the run effectively? You don't.
Can the guy actually call a game before being considered horrible?
I have no problem with being critical of a coach's performance, but shouldn't he actually have a chance to preform? I want OU to win, I could care less what I "can say" 3-4 years from now. Riley is considered one of the best young coordinators out there, and I'm sure Bob did his due diligence. Can we at least let him do his job before being critical of how he does his job?
I'm sure Bob just looked at t the ecu 2014 football highlights and made a phone call right away. Bob's been around for 25+ years. He's got a pantload of connections and did his homework. If it doesn't pan out, oh well. This season was too frustrating so I'll give this guy a chance. He's built connections with high school coaches and players since he was 19. Lets get through the summer first. Edit....Dang it, 8x beat me to it.
