Sooner Born, Sooner Bred
I dont' have any specifics but a number of OU website's are saying that big changes are coming. That it isn't so much a coaching problem, but more or less a program mentality problem.
Kish and Bobby Jack are easy decisions. Heupel being demoted is just common sense. Norvell was in serious hot water one time before when he got caught Tweeting the fuck out of recruits and the NCAA came within a hair of suspending him. Now he can't coach the receivers up and (maybe even worse) his recruiting has been poor. He's deadwood. The word I've heard (and it's coming from people I have talked to who have been making a lot of noise since the bowl fiasco) is Bob won't relent on making a change in the DC. He just won't do it. And that's the biggest problem we've got because we have a D that is under talented, under coached and the players are worn out with his antics. If Bob Stoops wins this power fight I think he's lost any chance of being at OU long term. OU will not be successful with Mike Stoops as the DC and that will lead to more problems that Bob Stoops is adamant won't be solved by firing his brother. We'll see what happens but I don't have much hope right now that Bob Stoops will cut out all the cancer; he'll leave some of it in his coaching staff.
Problem is, if you don't cut out all the cancer it will just come back. I have no clue what Bob saw out of his brother's defense this season that makes him think he has any chance of turning it around.
