Jackie Shipp just got fired from OU, I would slaughter some innocent animals to hire him for recruiting/any coaching spot he wanted at KSU...
Why was he fired?
Everyday I hear the words "stale" and "OU Football" about 10 times in the 50 minutes I'm driving to and from work. There are 3 players from the early 2000s who go on the radio in OKC alot and have connections in the program. According to them the entire program has just plateaued out. Some specifics include having recruiting contacts that were awesome 5-10 years ago, but those same contacts are not so great anymore and they haven't cultivated any more. Bob finally needed to change things, so he fired 3 guys he didn't think were bringing in the talent they needed nor still had the ability to motivate the players like they needed to be.
Remember when Bob said 2 years ago after their bowl game they were going to cut the dead weight and team cancers dragging the program down. At the same time he supposedly told the coaches that from then on out they were responsible for making sure no more of these cancers developed within their groups or they'd be next. Shipp, Kittle, and Patton were next.
