    Boomer Sooner! Best move of 2005-2006

    The best move of 2005-2006 has to be Chuck Long leaving to become a head coach. Look at what that brought to the team, bring back a great QB coach, move up a man who has produced some of the best offensive linemen in the country! In my opinion this is the best thing to happen to the sooners in 2005-2006.

    Good luck in MWC Chuck.

    I would say the best thing wouldn't be a coach leaving... Continuity with coaching is really nice, especially to a team of young kids who still don't really know what's going on in Div-1 CFB. But it's perhaps the most intriguing thing...

    I'd say the best thing to happen to us was a great emotional bowl win over a top team to carry us into workouts. We saw how bad a bad loss in the NC game could screw us up for the summer, so I imagine the opposite would be good for us. I can't wait!

    Yeah CL really sucked. All he did was teach a Heisman winner and a Heisman runner up. Oh yeah he also won a couple of Big 12 titles, and was the OC in two National Title games.

    just see how well the WSU butt kicking did for the team. They came out on fire the following two years.

    Luckily, Rhett has an assload of talent and is already an OK QB. Even if Heupel doesn't do much with him, he should gradually progress into a pretty darn good QB. All Heupel has to do is not screw up.

    Screwing up is not something Heupel does well. He sucks at screwing up.

    I think that may prove to be the worst move. Our offense won't ever be as effective as Chuck made it.

    Well we didn't do much with Wilson at the helm against Oregon.

    We really didn't do a helluva lot against TCU, Tulsa, or Kansas either. Those teams are juggernauts so I can understand.

    you forgot Texas but you're talking too Nick his football predictions are on par with his basketball predictions.

    You guys do know that KW has been a good OC in the past, CL was just a QB coach that was promoted to OC. Nothing wrong with that but KW does have some experience.

    Believe you-me, I'm excited about K Dub coming in. We certainly will not drop off our production at all and will probably improve assuming we can build on a healthy, young squad that got some great experience last year. Can't wait. Wilson has alot to prove.

    i need some context here. are you saying that those teams sucked last year? because normally the revisionist history doesn't start until may.

    We didn't have good coaching at the offensive line and the WRs weren't well coached. But I think our overall coaching last year was bad. Not just one staff member. We probably lost our overall best coach on staff.

    I'm really just explaining to Nick that we will be ok w/o Long. Sure we didn't look great on offense in KW's FIRST game with alot of freshman, but we didn't exactly light it up earlier in the year with Long at the helm. We won't miss him as much as some people might have us believe. And yes, those teams sucked in case you didn't realize.
