who knew ou actually gave a cac?

The 10 of us who care, really do care.  A lot.

who's on the coaching short list?

Big names are Billy Clyde and Buzz Williams.

I think it is more likely to be an up and comer/ mid major type.  Not sure if OU has the money to get a big name after paying Capel's buy out.  Of course the rumor is that in order to buyout Capel they had donors willing to pony up and get rid of him.  So who knows.  

Jones at UNT
Marshall at Wichita St
Cuzonzo (sp) at Mizzou St
Bennett at St. Marys
Blaine at ODU
etc
etc

The wild card that fans are throwing out there is Terry Evans at University of Central Oklahoma.  A D-2 school in Edmond, OK.  He's a former OU player and has had great success there.  He claims to have he best team in Oklahoma this year.


Also I approve of the move, I think Capel is a great guy and has the potential to be a good coach down the road.  But it looked like with the Willie, TMG and Tiny crap his hole had become too big for him to dig out of.  Shitty situation all around, for Oklahoma and Capel.

I learned that TMG is amazing to follow on twitter

gotta get buzz.

[CNS]

TheRecruitScoop tweeting that OU recruit is being told that Billy will be next OU coach.

[SoonerHoopsfan]

gotta get buzz.

I can only hope that is the answer. Still feel OU will go cheap.

That recruit who told the recruit scoop could be hearing that from anyone, AAU coach, high school coach or read it anyone.  I doubt anything concrete breaks till late this week, early next.

Floyd and Eustachy are always available.

OU fired Sampson cuz he was dirty, Capel was a boring loser...so now they are going after a confessed alcoholic. Impressed.

I really think you are reading way too much into the Buzz nickname on Mr. Williams.

[goldenticket]

when andy katz and doug gotlieb were talking about the pat knight firing last week on the espn ncaa bball podcast andy katz said maybe they would look at billy gillispie and gotlieb said he (gillispie) is telling people he will be the next oklahoma coach.

[michigancat]

I hope they get BCG and not Buzz.

blake griffin wasn't happy about it


The former Oklahoma star who is now playing for the Los Angeles Clippers said the university's decision to fire his coach was "unfair" and that the school was "piling it on."

"What bothers me the most is that everyone is saying he did all of this when Blake Griffin was there," Griffin said. "Well to me, you say he deserves no credit when a certain player is there and then, when things go bad, throw all the blame on him. To me, they're piling it on. He took over the program after Kelvin Sampson and all of those sanctions and he put his faith in everyone. This is what he gets? Within two years we're in the tournament and now two years later he's fired? It's completely unfair."

Griffin, who said he received a text from Capel shortly after the university's decision, felt so strongly about Oklahoma's decision that he reached out to ESPN.com on Tuesday afternoon.

$3M buyout.

I'm fine with this.

$3M buyout.

I'm fine with this. 

rumor was 3.8, but newer rumor claims that number is false.  more like 1.5ish and it drops significantly in about two weeks.
