The last time that Oklahoma and Texas both had 1st year Head Coaches in the same year....

[outofyourmind]

1947
Texas - Blair Cherry
Oklahoma- Bud Wilkinson

Cherry won the first meeting in 1947 then promptly lost the next 3 to Bud Wilkinson.
In those next 3 years Bud Wilkinson went 31-2 with one undefeated season and a National Championship.
Cherry could see the writing on the wall and retired.

 

[outofyourmind]

Bud Wilkinson went on to 31 and 47 game streaks, 2 more National Championships, 14 Conference Titles in a Row.

Blair Cherry went on to sell insurance.

Sorrows? Your head coach just quit, screwing over the 2017 recruiting class. And you handed the keys to some kid with no experience, no sorrows here.

So if the trend continues, things are looking up for OU and teja$ is circling the toilet. Sounds good to me.

The funny thing is I bet you honestly believe that. Stoops waits until well after signing day to retire, sorry suckers you're locked in now and can't leave.

Sorry Man @Texas Jefe
