I also don’t think Stoops would be worth max money, but that is a much different conversation. My priority would be finding someone who has built nothing from something and able to maintain it. Obviously everyone knows I like coach Bill. I didn’t know much about Josh out of UFC but based on what I’ve been reading I do like the idea of him. LSU defense has been shaky this year but I think their DC would be a good prospect . Of course Coach Brent at Clemson too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he leave Penn State? He was born and grew up in PA. Blue Blood school that doesn't have to compete for instate kids. Plus gets to hand pick talent from NJ and NY as well.

Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 10 hours ago, AUEngineer2016 said: If I remember correctly, it was because of the offensive performance in 2014, specifically with the passing game. It was Trevor Knight's first year as a starter, and he threw for 2300 yds, 14 tds, and 12 ints with a 56.6 completion percentage. OU went 8-5 that year with losses to TCU, Kansas State, Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Clemson. Bob needed to make a change, and rather than fire his brother Mike as DC, he decided to change the offensive scheme and adopt the air raid. Note that OU's defense gave up 25.9 PPG that year and 38.8 PPG in their losses. Both co-OC's (Heupel and Jay Norvell) were fired after a 40-6 loss to Clemson in the Russell Athletic Bowl. This is a pretty good recap article: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-sp-ucf-josh-heupel-oklahoma-fired-bob-stoops-20181011-story.html Hupel's offenses as an OC/HC: Oklahoma 2011 - 39.5 PPG (10th) Oklahoma 2012 - 38.2 PPG (15th) Oklahoma 2013 - 32.8 PPG (40th) Oklahoma 2014 - 36.4 PPG (21st) Utah State 2015 - 29.0 PPG (64th) Mizzou 2016 - 31.4 PPG (48th) Mizzou 2017 - 37.5 PPG (14th) UCF 2018 - 43.2 PPG (6th) UCF 2019 - 51.7 PPG (6th) His QB stats since leaving OU: Utah State, 2015 - Kent Meyers - 121/199 (60.8%), 1593 yds, 16 TDs, 3 INTs. 85 rushes, 354 yds, 3 TDs. Mizzou, 2016 - Drew Lock - 237/434 (54.6%), 3399 yds, 23 TDs, 10 INTs. 52 rushes, 123 yds, 1 TD. Mizzou, 2017 - Drew Lock - 242/419 (57.8%), 3964 yds, 44 TDs, 13 INTs. 43 rushes, 111 yds, 1 TD. UCF, 2018 - McKenzie Milton - 171/289 (59.2%), 2663 yds, 25 TDs, 6 INTs. 79 rushes, 307 yds, 9 TDs. Week 3 game against UNC cancelled due to hurricane Milton hurt in 2nd to last game of the year UCF, 2019 - Dillon Gabriel - 38/62 (61.3%), 719 yds, 9 TDs, 0 INTs. 7 rushes, 28 yds, 1 TD. Milton still recovering, starting QB Darriel Mack broke his ankle in the offseason, ND transfer Brandon Wimbush has been sidelined with an injury as well Gabriel is a true freshman If you look at those games you see TCU quickly jumped out 14-0 and the game finished 37-33. They were up by 14 on Ok State with 5 minutes left and lost that in OT. Baylor just annihilated them 48-14 or something. The K State game was a 31-30 loss with multiple FG shanks. Offense wasn't perfect, but it wasn't the whole reason they lost that many games. Even Oklahoma papers called Huepal and Norvell sacrificial lambs and the hindsight writers are questions if titles were left on the table by not getting rid of Stoop's earlier.

We need a little competitive balance. But a blindedfolded WC would be better. 77-0 would still be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't bet on that. Stoops still is pretty heavy involved in OU football in regards to boosters etc. I don't think Heupel and Stoops are even on speaking terms. I know there weren't last year. While appreciative, Heupel might not prefer to return to OU. Plus if he is getting OU asking him he will have plenty of top notch offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will watch equestrian with you. It's not said much, but I don't think the spiritual climate (actual or theoretical) would be compatible with who Dabo is now as a coach and person. If there is anything REC to be believed, I can't see Dabo having any part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant speak for everyone but I feel as if we’ll know a tremendous amount more after this weekend. This game might just show us if we’re contenders or pretenders.
