Don't know about the others, but Allison's going to Syracuse.

Oops.  Brain fart on my part.  Good catch.

SL had 0, and got 1 million.. 

What is your problem with our program?  SL also turned around a 1-11 team and got us to a bowl, only to lose in OT.  SL also has a history of improvement everywhere he has coached.

No problem at all... It was said for $2M you only get a coach with 3 winning seasons, and I pointed out we agreed with SL to a $1M contract before he had ever a winning season with no HC experience.. Remember how many people were worried on here about his new contract and the potential of how big the buyout would be if he did not improve?

His improvement was as an position coach/OC, not as an HC..

Honest question... With the 10th coach spot being allowed (soon) and Traylor being a RB coach in his past, any chance we open up and hire him? I know it would be a lot in terms of salary and he would likely command near what GH/TR make but the dude is 1 hell of a recruiter and would be a great addition to this staff in that spot alone...

I'm assuming he is likely bound for a coaching spot at ARK with Morris as well...

I know SL has a track-record as an RB Coach, and we have Choice as well, but Traylor could be worth it just in recruiting alone...

Rumored to have the RB coach job at Arkansas so would likely take more than that to get him here.

 

Also, looks like Dykes may not be rumors much longer.

Great hire for them...he’s a damn good G5 level coach. He throws the ball all over the place.

BTW, Courtland Sutton was the number three pick OVERALL in a mock draft I saw last week. So glad to never see that dude play our secondary ever again.

Especially with 1 on 1 coverage... should have brought a safety over the top to help.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
