New Coach For Next Year

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I disagree, Capel recruited really good players that everyone in the country wanted and they knew it and were pretty much total *******s who thought the world should have worshiped them. North Carolina struggled for a a year there because they made similar mistakes. At OU, the coach needs to bring in top 25 recruiting classes...not Top 5 because Top 5 is gone after one year. Capel's team was much better this year despite having a lot less talent. I will take a Cade Davis over a TMG or Not so Tiny Gallon any day. We just need a solid game day coach who knows how to interweave talents together.

But his initials are TB, not KM!

Tony Bennett's at Virginia now. He left Wazzu two years ago methinks.

I've followed that one's career closely, because his daddy used to be at my tiny Wisconsin high school before eventually landing at UW-Madison and taking em to the 2000 final four.

I wish I could have seen Bennett play just once at UW-Green Bay - he apparently had the highest 3-point shooting percentage in NCAA history - just under 50, like 49-point-something. I can't imagine... you know he must have had off-shooting nights, so every other night must have been all-on

My fault! So the initials are KB then.

Yes... because I assume Kelvin's middle name is Basketball.

[birddog]

bring in evans and let him build a good staff and see what he could do. the support for him over the first few years if he were would be overwhelming. comin around to this idea, mainly because i know terry but he's doin well currently and he's as guy we can groom into the job and allow a solid staff guide him through the mess that is ncaa bball.

Haha. Gotta admit, I'm a little lost now. Wazzu's new coach is Ken Bone, but I think you are talking about Tony Bennett's dad.

Capel could have been here for five more years and Evans would still be at UCO in case we wanted him.

5 more years of capel and even evans wouldn't want this job.

[OU_Sooners75]

5 more years of capel and even evans wouldn't want this job.

So why do you hate the guy?

[87sooner]

So why do you hate the guy?

Well, he is gone...let it be now. He is no longer our coach.

Are the Sooners targeting Illinois' Bruce Weber?

Thanks! I think it is funny the Chicago Tribune has picked up on this and sends you to the Norman Transcript for further details!

Hehe....

If Roan and Blevins are correct we may have our coach by Friday.

Not sure what to think about Weber!

Boy it sure looks like it. I'm reading all over that it's serious on both sides. Even Dean The Master of Misinformation said it's a done deal and presser on Friday.

Deano tweet : I was told ystrdy morn OU was hoping/planning 4 Fri press conf 2 name new coach. After striking out w/Buzz, appears 2 b BruceWeber, Illinois

Brian Birchell (who?...KSBI sportsguy apparently ) tweet : Source close to the OU program tells me tonight Bruce Weber will be named the next OU head coach as early as Friday...(he apparently deleted his tweet several hours after posting it)

Could be something to this, also could be all the smoke is someone burning cow chips on the fire...only Joe knows. Lets ask Deano!

Hi, I'm Dean 'The Dream' Blevins. You might remember me from such hits as 'Stoops To Florida' , or 'Dave Rose is the Man for OU' Today I put whats left of my tattered reputation on the line and definitively state that Bruce Weber will be the next men's basketball coach at OU. I 100% guarantee that this prediction has a 50% chance of being wrong and I have a 75% chance of looking like a complete hack.

[OU_Sooners75]

zan....take it to the misplaced Bruce Weber thread (on football forum). At least try to keep it on one thread.
