Well, well, well-- Stoops has all of the Oklahoma spring workouts closed

to the public. The spring game will be on TV, national ESPN broadcast.

Stoops will be trying to find a QB, with Paul Thompson gone. Their hot

shot recruit from MI,Keith Nichol,6-2,180lbs, is rumored to be given the

opportunity to earn the starting QB job. They also have R-FR John Ninmo,

6-1,190lbs and FR Sam Bradford,6-5,197lbs, in the mix. Last years back

up,Joey Halzue,(sp?),6-3,198lbs is a JR as well as Hays McEachern,5-11,

180lbs--holder for PAT's/FG's.

Looks like the Sooners do not want anyone to know whats going on with

the QB position, and I am sure the Sooners are still smarting from the

loss to Bosie State.

Will their new QB give us an advantage? Maybe, but it is still Oklahoma!

I beleive Cocah Dodge will have our team ready, and will give Oklahoma

more that they think!

Why would they close practices and then have the spring game on TV? If their starters are good, or if they suck, it's going to show during the spring game. Even if they run just a few basic running and passing plays.

Is NTTV going to broadcast this year's spring game?

If not, why not?

It would be the most watched thing they've broadcast.

I do not know why Okla will close the spring workouts to the public, then

have the spring game on national ESPN coverage. TV money?

I guess the Okla coaching staff do not want a debate from their fans

as to who the starting QB will be--

This sounds like our situation--who will be our starting QB!

As far as NTTV covering the NT spring game, I think this is

a good idea. I would prefer that all the NT fans to come to the

game, tail gate, and fill up Fouts to show our support!

SMUt is starting practice today and the DMN said their practices will also be closed to the public, except for their spring game March 31. Like SMUt has any talent to hide anyway? :lol:

Please don't slap me from saying this but I think it might be a good idea to keep most of NT's spring practices closed to the public as well. There is going to be a huge learning curve and loads of media attention. I'd want to keep the kids attention on learning and not the media/fan spectacle.

How? You can park on the 35W and watch everything that goes on. Add the fact that the fence around the field doesn't provide much visual protection either.

You build a wall. You make it 11 feet tall. You see- normally, most NCAA teams would build a wall as tall as they could - 10 feet. But us- here's the great part, we build ours 11 FEET! That's a whole foot larger than the largest allowed!

"Why not just have a 10 foot wall and make it thicker?"

"....but our's goes to 11."

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
