I have seen a lot of home games but this one was the worst. Worse than Miami damn near ruining our season in 1985 and even worse that some of the Nebraska beatdowns and Kansas State upsets. This time OU was embarrassing and the coaching staff had no control over anything. I've pissed off some of the OU fans on this board with my incessant criticism of Flatline Bob but I'm right; either he goes or he has to make changes in his coordinators. I'd prefer to keep Stoops and see new coordinators but if that isn't possible then it's time to bite the bullet. Unfortunately Boren/Castiglione WILL NOT do it. We have another 2, probably 3 years of this to live through. Next season will hurt even worse because Saban, Snyder, Meyer, Patterson, Briles, etc. would waltz into the playoff with the talent we will have in 2015.

I owe some of you guys an apology. I've been a strong Stoops defender, but I'm ready to BURN IT DOWN.
Sanchez called the loss “embarrassing” and “not acceptable.”
“Something’s gotta change,” he said. “We’ve gotta fix a lot of things.”
Not surprisingly, Mike Stoops said he’d change the way the Sooners approached the drive if he had another chance.
“(Petty) just was distributing the ball and we couldn’t sack him, we couldn’t tackle him, we couldn’t … you know … just in space we struggled,” Mike Stoops said. “In hindsight, you’ve got to take your chances and you’ve got to tighten up and you’ve got to force them into making an accurate throw.”
By the time the game ended and the Sooners walked off the field having been handed their worst home loss since 1997, the stadium was mostly empty.
Sanchez called the booing “disrespectful” but said the Sooners needed to be better.
“That’s just how it goes,” Sanchez said. “When you’re hot, they’re gonna ride with you. When you’re low, they’re gonna walk out during the game. But the true fans, we respect them. We appreciate those fans. For the ones that leave the game early regardless of the score, that’s just what type of fans they are and how they’re gonna be. For the loyal fans we do have, we do appreciate it.”
newsOK
Sanchez and M. Stoops after the loss.
Don't worry about the fans Sanchez. OU loyalty is and will always be there.
As for Mike's comments. That says it all for me. He needs to go. He is getting paid to figure that out during the game, not in hindsight.
Bob needs two new coordinators. He don't have to fire, he can demote, but its got to be done.
