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.
Garrick McGee issued a statement thanking Bob Stoops for the offer to interview; but notes that he is committed to Louisville.

‘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)
Huge honor & responsibility for @TyDarlington56 as NCAA voter.

Great piece on JM..
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
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.
This. Don’t really care for personal shots at a young man doing whats best for his family.
He seems to almost be in Stephen Dale realm or castorboytroy. Not quite but if he keeps working hard, one day he’ll get there
Always something to strive for…who knew you were such an optimist?!?
Havent seen anything from the always upbeat dale today. Dale are you there?
He always reminds me of the candy man. That old Sammy Davis Jr song
dont do it!
those two…..geez louise
Agreed. I’ve been following his story for a while and I had to call it out, trolling or not.
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.
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!
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.
Come on Jim, keep it classy. Wrong board.
Sorry, didn’t realize a little trolling on Texas was frowned upon on an OU fan board…
texas sucks
Texas the team and Texas the school, yes. But we don’t need to stoop down and take personal shots at players.
That’s what God made aggies for.
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.
Exactly… I think AD had 2 kids by 3 women….. think about that haha
And’s it more than that now. I wonder if he even knows how many kids he really has………….
Smh.
he may keep track by visits from CPS..
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.
Why is that extra incentive?
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!
You don’t like bob?
Prediction.
Defensive changes after NSD.
MS will find another job. Kish will follow MS or be dismissed.
This. It would be the height of insanity to expect different results with the current bunch. Hope this is a correct assessment.
We can only hope!
lol @ not liking Bob.
Good Morning.
Thank you Jordan for this special OU web site.
Happy to do it. Just trying to give the people what they want.
I do like the football stuff, but Salma Hayek in her underwear? She IS a Mexi-Can not a Mexi-Can’t!
Seconded
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. .
No one runs the “Alabama drill!” They don’t yell “Oregon!” “Oregon!” at the line of scrimmage, now, do they?
They do yell “Omaha”…if they’re Peyton Manning.
LOL! Alabama drill.
Damn straight skippy!
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.
maybe here.
May be a little premature(that’s what she said) on my part, but hope he sticks around to take over for Bob down the road
So did getting Murray just get a little tougher? Doesn’t look good now.
Yes
there was a lot of smoke reL Murray, never saw it coming to the light so to speak
That should make the flip of Kyler less likely. Finish strong NSD is getting closer by the minute!
This class is a linebacker or 2 from being a great
Or 3
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.
Selma Hayak…MMMMMMM.
In her underwear. Fighting the evil Japanese. LOL
Love me some gun porn…especially when it stars a nearly nude Selma Hayek.
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…
We won’t see him next year and hopefully by the time we do our defense will be stout.
Plus, dude lost his starting job cuz he just wasn’t producing and/or too many mistakes. No guarantee he ever starts at TCU..
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”
lets not forget ESPN had him as their heisman frontrunner for 3 or 4 weeks as well.
I wish we had a policy like that.
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.
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.
I’m sure there’s another JM in the medical sales biz already, hopefully a former QB/WR.
What would happen if Stephen Segal kidnapped Liam Neeson’s daughter?
I would watch that
There would be no violence. Just give Segal a dozen doughnuts and you get the daughter back.
Charles Bronson would come back from the dead and smoke everybody.
Ok so after careful deliberation, Boren should turn over the coaching searches to TFB’s. That is all.
In this forum, there might be some serious internet violence happening…were that to occur. LOL
YES!!!! Settle this gladiator style!
I’ll bring the doughnuts…
“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’?
Pretty accurate statement right there.
Some coaches just don’t execute very well.
LOL
To busy screamin his head off, lookin like a fool
Okay can we stop the idea of Murray coming to OU now
It might help A&M a LITTLE bit, but not much. Their starting QB will be a true sohpmore next year.
****Speculation……….
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.
I read it. I read it.
Wonder if it appeared in the paper the same way… ?
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.
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.
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.
Well I guess we can take Applewhite off the board (huge amount of sarcasm here)… He’s landed at Houston.
Bob opened up a position of tackle dummy at OU too?
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.
Humility goes a lot further than arrogance.
I have a small poster on my classroom wall ( I teach HS history courses) that reads: The difference between a dream and a goal is a goal has a plan.
Blaster, thanks for sharing. I like that one.
I didn’t think I could like Monty any more than I already did…dude is great.
i love reading stories like that. Good for Monty for initially sacrifcing to make his dream come true.
Yes. Great story. Makes me appreciate — and respect — Monty even more.
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!
Salma Hayek looks good. The movie doesn’t.
Salma always looks perfect.
I’ll watch just to see half naked Salma. 🙂
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.
Decent QB in a great system. See Johnny Manziel. Pretty sure his head got way too big from the publicity that A&M paid for.
Somebody keep Sooner Ray from the Selma Hayak clip…his poor laptop could explode
It’s not his laptop that’ll explode!
