Sooners News Daily 1.9.15

FOOTBALL

Great feature on OU’s Jerry Montgomery. (TW)

The Garrick McGee thing yesterday was a perfect example of why you don’t just take stuff at face value in this whole coaching search deal.

‘Bob Stoops is not going to fire Mike Stoops no matter how bad it gets. And, it got pretty bad this year.’ I’m not even sure how to properly address this. (TW)

The Trill is gone.

OTHER

He is not the smartest man alive. (Deadspin)

Ahem…/movie voice over guy voice…”This time he’s doing the taking…”

Kill Bill ripoff, right?

    Great piece on JM..

  • Jim says:

    1. LOL at Kenny Hill. What a bitch.
    2. That’s awesome for Dotson! His picture makes him look like he’s in his mid-late 30’s, but he’s only 29.
    3. A Texas underclassmen has 2 kids already? Shocker…
    4. And yeah, Monty is incredible

    • Indy_sooner says:

      Lot’s of college students have kids. The difference is this one is married and a great dad. I realize it’s Fexas, but no need to rag on Brown. The guy actually has his head on straight and has the talent to boot.

      • kokevo says:

        This. Don’t really care for personal shots at a young man doing whats best for his family.

      • Jim says:

        Relax, Indy. It was more of just a shot at Texas and the legacy that precedes Brown.
        And yeah, he is legit. A guy we could have really used but lost out on to Texas.

        • albsooner says:

          Jim – it was a direct shot a Brown, a young man trying to do well for his family. Keep that crap off this board brother – we are better than that! Please keep it classy man!

        • Indy_sooner says:

          What do you mean “legacy that precedes Brown?” Look, I get that everyone, me included, is anti-Texas, but Brown and his kids should not be part of that IMO. This is not attacking you, BTW
          His character and maturity is refreshing… If anything, I would LOVE to have him on our squad and show the other guys what accountability means. FYI- Dede Westbrook has 2 kids.

    • dallassooner says:

      Come on Jim, keep it classy. Wrong board.

    • ND52 says:

      We’ve had players who’ve had kids while still in school. Most teams have.

      Also, could you please edit out that one word? Thank you sir.

  • F1at1ined says:

    Kenny Hill could develop as a solid QB for TCU, if he can mature and is willing to listen. Of course, it could serve as extra incentive to grab Cumbie from TCU 🙂 (not that we should need it).

    Did recruits stop picking up the phone after 2am when Jerry was calling? I just find it hard to believe he sleeps haha.

  • Jason Scism says:

    Have to agree with the TW article. The defense was worse than the offense and yet Bob will not get rid of his brother. This is the second time Bob has fired coaches and should be his last chance, next time it’s him and he better know it. Never have like Bob since the day he was hired but I love my Sooners and truly hope he can turn it around!

  • Waters says:

    Good Morning.
    Thank you Jordan for this special OU web site.

  • paganpink says:

    Montgomery is the real deal. He stays at it until he figures something out, and he really cares about the kids. No wonder he is such a great recruiter- he is just such a genuine person. That must be a contrast to many of the coaches coming to talk with these young men who are so full of themselves. And Jerry is representing OKLAHOMA. He doesn’t have to explain his school’s successes. Everyone knows Oklahoma. He can focus on the player. .

  • kokevo says:

    Makes me like jerry even more hes good for this coaching staff brings a little life to it we better enjoy him while we can he will be a head coach before long.

  • Sooner Ray says:

    So did getting Murray just get a little tougher? Doesn’t look good now.

  • STL Sooner says:

    That should make the flip of Kyler less likely. Finish strong NSD is getting closer by the minute!

  • F1at1ined says:

    That article on Monty was pretty epic. You cant help rooting for someone like that, so its even better that he’s OUr rising star.

  • lulzer says:

    Selma Hayak…MMMMMMM.

  • HoustonChiver says:

    Out of all the schools, why did Hill have to pick TCU! I don’t want to have to deal with this guy for the next couple of years…

    • Sooner Ray says:

      We won’t see him next year and hopefully by the time we do our defense will be stout.

    • Daddy R says:

      Plus, dude lost his starting job cuz he just wasn’t producing and/or too many mistakes. No guarantee he ever starts at TCU..

      • boomersooner says:

        Another awesome job by ESPN. “He had some success against a wildly mediocre so. car team? Well then by all means let’s nickname him since he took over for johnny bag o douche. Let’s see if he’ll trademark his too.” Doesn’t shock me that it tanked. Feel for the kid. Not for “TMZSPN”

      • HoustonChiver says:

        I wish we had a policy like that.

      • lebval15 says:

        He does not scare me, and he’s certainly nowhere near the player Boykin is. He put up good numbers against A&M’s weak non-con schedule and then fell apart once conference play started.

      • Boom says:

        Not really, he lost it for outside reasons for the most part. Not going into specifics but the outside stuff affected his on field stuff.

  • Greg sparks says:

    I’m sure there’s another JM in the medical sales biz already, hopefully a former QB/WR.

  • RBear says:

    What would happen if Stephen Segal kidnapped Liam Neeson’s daughter?

  • JJSoona says:

    Ok so after careful deliberation, Boren should turn over the coaching searches to TFB’s. That is all.

  • RBear says:

    “He just told me, ‘Jerry, what you put on the field represents you. What
    you put on the field and what those kids do is what you taught them. If
    it’s bad, you’re bad. If it’s good, you’re doing a good job,’ ”
    Montgomery said.

    Hey Mike, ya listenin’?

  • Jeff says:

    Okay can we stop the idea of Murray coming to OU now

  • L'Carpetron Dookmarriot says:

    I love the Klein article, especially the second half of it that is an exact repeat of the first half. That’s what I look for in a good article, copy/past errors for the reader to find. Nice.

    • RBear says:

      I read it. I read it.

      Wonder if it appeared in the paper the same way… ?

    • soonermusic says:

      He left out the part about how Bob will never fire Heupel because he’s his golden boy and has a relative who’s married into the administration.

  • Sam Philbeck says:

    Taken has kinda run it’s course, but Run All Night looks good. He did a movie last year called A Walk Among the Tombstones that was good. I want Neeson to be the villian in the The Equalizer sequel. Him vs. Denzel is the ultimate showdown.

  • Billy says:

    Haha. This is awesome. My TCU friend and I were talking about OU never taking a player like Hill. Now he ends up at TCU.

  • Daddy R says:

    Well I guess we can take Applewhite off the board (huge amount of sarcasm here)… He’s landed at Houston.

  • SamSooner says:

    What Monty has is gratitude. What’s even better is that he’s willing to pay it forward. He’s not ashamed of his past; he embraces it. The fear of failure is one of the greatest motivators. A clear vision of where you will to be is prophetic. He knows his destination. Here something I wrote once to keep myself going: “Know what it is that you’re trying to accomplish; then, do those things that will get you to your goals.”

    Monty is someone who everyone hopes succeed.

  • ToatsMcGoats says:

    I didn’t think I could like Monty any more than I already did…dude is great.

  • lebval15 says:

    i love reading stories like that. Good for Monty for initially sacrifcing to make his dream come true.

  • WilliamJack says:

    I hope everyone on TFB takes the time to read the article on Coach M. Makes you proud and grateful to have a man of his persistence and character as a Sooner! BOOM!

  • John Garner says:

    Salma Hayek looks good. The movie doesn’t.

  • blaster1371 says:

    What’s the dope about Hill other than he got busted for smoking weed? Is he a jerk of the highest order? He seemed pretty talented in his first four or so games.

  • blaster1371 says:

    Somebody keep Sooner Ray from the Selma Hayak clip…his poor laptop could explode
