Mornin Golf!! “It is another fine day to be a SOONER”
Morning 47! It absolutely is!
Morning, 47!
Good Morning Jake!
Morning Sooner’s let the coach hunt begin.
Good Morning Dr.
Morning 47
Hey Doc
Morning Wooferman
Morning Doc! My thoughts to Coach Stoops: “Pick a good one”
Sounds about right. Good morning!
Morning Jake!
Hopefully someone with inroads to Texas and Louisiana.
Wouldn’t hurt my feelings!
I would not complain about that at all.
Boomer! Hope everyone has a good day!
Good morning, all!
Good morning!
Morning, J.r.!
Good Morning Kamm!
I heard this guy is available (apparently has strong ties to the state of Texas as well):
Mack seems real happy doing half time bits. I like the guy OK now that he isn’t coaching.
Am I the only one that doesn’t know who Steph is?
Well Dick, If i had to guess I would say Steph Curry?
But I have been wrong before!! Just ask my wife!!
Don’t ask mine ?
Or mine!
That would be an accurate statement
OK, I know who that is. I was in a football zone. Need another cup of coffee. Thanks.
Or two, Or three
I’m a 9-10 cup guy myself.
That’s it???
That’s all the pot holds.
Im on # 8 myself.
Make it two ?☕️☕️
Good morning, everyone!!!
Morning Sam!!
47, good morning!
Another fine day!!!
And, we get to do it 366 days this year. Bonus!!!!
Yes we will need you to work an extra day this month!!
Good morning, Sam! How we doing today?
We are locked and loaded and ready for the day. Bring it on.
Very nice. I”m looking forward to the 1st day on the board “King-free”! God bless America & TFB!
I concur!!
Did he meet the ban-hammer?
Finally!!!
That was Castor Troy Boy, all day. There’s no way for him to hide who he is. You read his post and BAM!
I would not be surprised.
I thought so, too. Something about the phrasing and the odd jumps from one topic to another. And he’s a psycho.
From his very first post, dude had bad news written all over him. I always wonder about people like that, what in their life is so bad that they must behave that way?
I just wish I could’ve heard him call someone Bubba. Glad he’s gone, made it uneasy around here.
Good morning, Pagan!
Edit: schizophrenic comes to mind.
ABOUT FREAKING TIME!
Yes, Jordan finally threw done the hammer (which included a sweet GIF of Thor).
I was surprised to hear Jordan say he didn’t find his comments that offensive, but rather annoying/attack happy.
I”m like, when you talk about raping another man’s wife essentially, your comments are 100000X past the point of offensive.
I agree. That’s sick and twisted. Did you see the video of the man who fell into the tiger’s den that he posted?
Sick, I tell you.
“Annoying” is probably easier for Jordan to define than what’s offensive. I find it hard to believe he didn’t think some of that stuff was not offensive or inappropriate.
I saw the posting of the video. But I did not watch it because I assumed it was going to be horrific. Not to mention, anything posted by that guy had the potential to be laced in viruses, IMO- lol.
I didn’t watch it either. How can that be fun for someone, that type of behavior? He’s someone who’s brain hasn’t evolved at the same pace as everyone else. I hope he doesn’t have any children.
What video?
I didn’t click on it but he posted it around noon yesterday. A man fell in a tigers den. He posted it with a warning and giving you the play-by-play, insinuating that this is what happens if you come at him.
Wow, I was in probate court around that time. Thats why i missed it.
glad I didn’t watch the video. sick son of gun.
I’m with ya, sketchy stuff.
Darn, I missed it! After reading a couple of his posts, I just ignored him completely. I knew he was not an OU fan, he was just trolling. I don’t need that kind of crap in my life.
It was a righteous banning! Sicko. Jordan dropped the Thor hammer.
I’m going to have to go find it now. LOL
Well, someone laid down the law yesterday.
Yep, just went and found what Jordan said. His tolerance level for stupidity is stronger than mine. I would have banned him before NSD.
He’ll be back under another name.
He was the most sadistic troll I have ever crossed internet-paths with.
I’ve crossed paths with a few that put him to shame. They had some very, very disgusting things to say and pictures of things, it was just bad. Made me decide to completely leave one site.
It’s a shame what the internet can attract. Turns into an absolute cesspool
Yep. One reason I seldom get on the internet once I’m off work. I have much better things to do with my life, and I think my wife would cut my fingers off if I ignored her. LOL
Good morning Sam! How are you doing today?
good morning sam
Well I would be ok with CJ ah you. He’s familiar with the players and staff. Plus his recruiting could benefit from having a highly rated cousin in the 2017 class. Might help kick start some momentum even though his cousin is being recruited as a safety.
Its his nephew is it not?
You might be right. I could remember the exact relationship but that sounds right.
Oh and Good morning Zack!
And my three picks are former SOONERS!!
I agree with you. I would not complain if OU hired him.
He has that #OUDNA
Morning, Zack.
Who’s out there? The TFB Mods mentioned Leavitt last year. He is an aggressive/attack kind of coach. There is a connection with the Stoops brothers.
What’s up Sam?
I’m not sure who’s out there really. If they’re going to make a splash I would be surprised with the oil boosters hanging on to their seats right now. And the word is boren and many of his personnel took pay cuts, not sure if true or how significant.
Plus I can’t see them finding a guy who’s a “co-DC” currently because I think cooks is going to be deserving of that title soon.
As much as I would like to see ah you, he just took that job so I’m not sure if stoops would ask him to vacate the position so soon.
Stoops didn’t mind having Mark Jackson vacate his position with A&M, hehe.
LOL!
That’s a very good point. There’s got to be someone out there that would love to work with all of that talent. Fingers crossed.
I agree and good points. I think KJ said it yesterday and it would be great if we could get a guy who knows the SE recruiting scene.
Also, JB made a good point too as to go after a NFL guy as they attract kids too and know technique. I would really like to have someone with recruiting ties to the SE.
Morning, Boom!
Back atcha SS.
FS Utah prospect is stout.
I couldn’t get past the first 10 seconds of that Fuller House trailer, and it’s not because it sucked either. goodness gracious.
I predict that Shep will have a better career than more than half of the top 5 of Mayock’s WR rankings, as long as he doesn’t succumb to injuries in the first couple of years.
I hate to say this but Shep would THRIVE in the Patriots offense. But I prefer to have him in Green Bay with Rip. Go Pack!
I like your thinking! Green Bay or KC.
Morning, Kelly.
Shepard is going to be great. I don’t think the moment is ever to big for him. He always looks calm.
morning Sam. ugh, I hate saying “morning” or “good morning” but I just did it, it’s my attempt to be civilized and my one good deed for the week.
Sorry Kelly, I’m a morning person. I guess it stems from being forced to milk cows at 430AM every day for years while growing up.
lol. it’s all good Golf, I’m a morning person as well, I’m just not a morning people person. but I do appreciate when guys like you and sam say “good morning”. you guys should know by now I’m a crotchety young fart.
Good morning fellow Sooners! It’s a beautiful Oklahoma morn out here on the far western plains.
Good morning Slim!!!
Morning, 47!!!
I saw that you posted a pic of the “47 Straight” embroidered on the back of the OU jersey. You should crop that and make it your pic in your profile.
I will see what i can do. Not very computer savvy.
It’s easy. All you need to do is edit your TFB profile, insert the “47 Straight” picture for the one you already have.
Love the new picture!!!
Did not know it would change on all the past post’s. Was going to debut it in the morning. Oh well, SURPRISE!!!
LOL! Looks awesome!
Good morning Slim!
What? Am I chopped liver today?
Good morning, Golf!
Slide on down to your original comment on here this morning Mr. Sam. LOL! I said good morning to you. 🙂
Oops! Then it is I who is being rude.
Ah beg yo pard’n. Please ‘cept mah mos’ sin-seah apologies, dear suh.
LOL! Sam, it would take an awful lot for you to offend me.
Seems like a lot of heavy lifting is needed. Well, I guess I should go to work. LOL!
ROTFLOL! You should already know that though, even the orange fingers photo just made me laugh.
Do you want me to scratch and, literally, bring it back out? No sniffing, of course.
You’re the man.
Do what you must. I’m going to go work on payroll. At least I don’t have to worry about lurking today when a certain person shows up, since he got the hammer yesterday.
That guy was bad as bad gets
He was horrible. I get ticked when guys argue about little things on here, but that guy was on a whole other level. He wanted to argue and cause dismay over everything. Life is too short for that.
way too short for that BS.
I totally agree. And Good morning Hemi!
Glad the board is back to normal. Where we all can enjoy a great conversation about OU FOOTBALL.
No kidding! We can disagree and discuss without attack dogs coming out. LOL
that’s my motto, too !!!
We can all disagree, offer different perspectives, but we know it’s just a conversation at the table. It’s not life or death.
Ooh! Ooh! I have a funny: “The King is dead. Long live the King.”
Ha! Ha! I kills me.
ROTFLOL! Ok, that got too much of a laugh from me.
I aim, with build up on my fingers, to please.
You might want to get that check out by a specialist.
Morning, Hemi!
It is no fun lurking. Im glad that is over with. Already a different feel on the board today!!!
Yes it does!
Yepper!!
If you could find it in you to look past my fingers, I’d like to pass out the checks.
ROTFLOL! They are all direct deposited, not much to pass out. Although I just give mine to my wife.
Well, can I use the keyboard?
You know I won’t quit, right.
Yeah, maybe you should come work for me. Do you have a class A CDL? LOL
Uh…, why…, yessssss. Yes, I do.
Well, I happen to have two jobs open at the moment. You wouldn’t even have to move. 🙂
SWEET!
Morning, Golf!!
Morning, Slim!
Howdy, Sam!
Morning Slim
Morning Dave!
Morning Golf
Morning, Dave!
Morning Sam, how goes it?
Well, except for the snow. We got about six inches last night.
Wow, it was 78 here yesterday. My Dad was begging me to go golf with him but I did not have time.
Lucky. I want snow. 🙁
No you don’t.
Yes I do Sam. I hate this warm weather in Jan/Feb. You know in Ok we don’t get much so it would be a welcome relief to see the white stuff. Plus I have a granddaughter that I want to play with in it.
I’m from South Georgia. I get what you’re saying. I like the snow too. But this morning, it was a complete surprise. One inch on the ground when I went to bed and around six inches this morning. I guess the snow trucks should have been a clue. When they are out dropping salt on the streets, they’re expecting something.
It was a sunny 63 yesterday, I struggled through my afternoon walk with should I or I shouldn’t I just go home for the day(we get a 30 minute break to exercise)
That’s not cool, Dave. LOL!
🙂 sorry I couldn’t help it
Morning Slim. You guys have it easy around here. Either all of you are retired or you just have easy jobs. I wished I could be on more in the mornings to talk to all of you like this. Great group of posters on here.
I don’t have an easy job, but I do own my company. So I can sort of do what I want. LOL
My job requires me to hurry up and wait a lot. While I debug stuff and whatnot
This, plus I come and go while the sweat is flying off of me.
I already retired once but have this job and will retire from it in about 17 years. LOL!!!
Retirement is great! Love it here all the time but especially mornings with the gang. Super fans!! Lol
I Don’t know if this was said already.
Jackie Shipp is the new DLine coach at Mizzou.
Jackie Shipp’s aunt was my 8th grade algebra teacher in Topeka, KS. I have always like Jackie, and I would not complain about him coming HOME!
That won’t be happening especially after the last time he was here.
Yeah, I’m sure it won’t. Things did not go quite well then.
I’d look at his predecessor (Craig Kuligowski) who just joined the Miami staff.
That name popped into my head as well. Mizzou usually had some solid D lines.
4-3 scheme, not 3-4 scheme.
Birddawg, good morning!
I have a brother who’s nickname is “Bulldog.” He got that as a teenager and it stuck. They told him when he gets mad he looks like a bulldog.
Good morning Sam
Lol!
My Nickname story:
My junior year in HS. Football was the sport. We brought a lot of defensive guys back. The team/coaches knew our offense was going to struggle after graduating so many the year before. It was the first game of the year. Both teams were having a defensive battle.Tied. Our offense just punted the ball with like 2-3 mins left. On their first play they broke a run on my side. 25-30 yards. Field goal distance. I was pissed…I’ve never been more mad.
Coach calls timeout.
“What the hell was that!”
“You owe me! We need that ball”
Next play, they ran the exact play to my side again. There was no way I was letting that sh** fly. I tackled, stripped, scooped, and scored.
Everyone just started calling me “Bird dog”.
and I don’t even think I ever stripped the ball again. lol
Awesome! I love it.
That’s a good story. I guess “that dog will hunt” the ball down.
It’s funny how that kind of stuff sticks with us as long as we are alive.
good stuff.
Regarding the DL position…I really like some of the suggestions and many make sense to me…some not so much.
For argument’s sake and if one prizes continuity…CJ makes a lot of sense, but with him recently gone are there any other guys currently on staff that could fill in here?
why the hell are we having such a hard time hanging onto DL coaches??? losing 2 in 2 years.. is there something we are not hearing about?? I would like to think that being at OU would be a destination job.. With such a great coaching staff.. But there must be something we are not aware of.. What am I missing?
I know that Diron left because he wanted to be back with his family. I figured when they did not move to OU with him that he was just here for a short period. Monty left because he and MS did not really get along (from what I have read). However, I agree with you. I think that one issue is Mike’s demeanor at times. I have worked for people who had anger issues, one of them threw a keyboard at the wall and missed my head by about 6 inches. I would much rather work for someone who does not fly off the handle all the time.
I glad im not the only one who is suspecting M.S.
I like Mike, don’t get me wrong. But the dude needs to relax some. Kids learn so much better when you keep an even keel rather than foaming at the mouth screaming. Heck I’ve had a couple of employees call my wife and have asked her to ask me to scream and yell at them because they find it creepy when I get mad that I just lower my voice and talk quieter to them. But they get the message loud and clear.
I think Monty wanted in the NFL and Diron wanted to be by his family. Can’t fault either. Just how it goes sometimes in coaching. Hopefully we don’t hire a Patton or Kittles. I’m sure with Mike on staff we won’t.
Well I know that Monty and Mike didn’t exactly see eye to eye, but I agree. I want to find someone that can teach kids and is a hard worker. He should also be able to recruit. UGH! I trust Bob, I think he will find a good DL coach.
I agree with everything you said. Which I think made Mike go to the booth. Tired of ripping the coaching staff and players on the field during a game.
Yep. I was watching some Sooner highlights from years past, and they showed one where Mike and BV got into it on the sideline. I did not remember that, but Mike has to chill out.
I’m sure Bob has a short list of people he wants. OU has stability that few other top programs have. If your family is in a good spot, especially with kids in school, it’s hard to make a change.
$$$$$$$$
I’d guess that Bob has already fielded some calls from prospects.
You know he has already. I wouldn’t be surprised if he contacted some guys he had in mind to get a feel if they were interested.
I’m sure he has MoJo. I imagine the coach has a lot of connections and already has an idea who he wants as his next DLine coach
I think what we saw from Mike was stress. He understood the nature of the situation: immediate success or else. Some folks don’t handle that type of situation well. They flail their arms, scream and yell, to give them the sense that they are working hard.
One time, at work, billing system went down. I was making calls to every IT person I knew. My Director, at the time, stepped into my office. He asked what was going on. I replied, “I’m not sure but I’m trying to get answers.”
I was addressing the issue on the floor with the employees: “Here’s how we’re going to handle this, etc. etc.” I was as calm as I could be.
Once the issue was resolved, he called us all into his office and proceeded to tell us “how it pisses him off that we were acting like we didn’t care about the situation. You all were not moving fast enough or screaming at the IT people to get this resolved.”
No one said anything. They just took it. But I didn’t. I told him, “Just because I’m not screaming and yelling doesn’t mean I don’t care or that I’m not trying to resolve the issue.”
Yep, I hear you. You can get a lot more done, quickly, with kind words than you can yelling. When I worked in IT and someone yelled at me, their problem went to the bottom of my pile!
Customers who yell at me seem to have a higher bug rate in their code, versus the people who are nice to me. Just sayin…. 😉
LOL! I hear you! There would always be something wrong with their SQL queries when I was working IT. It seemed that their results always had way more than what they were looking for.
I feel you Sam. I had a boss that was asking us to help get some stuff shipped out and he was yelling at us to help out and we had already plan on doing it and then he comes over to us still yelling and all I said in my calmest voice, “ok, lets do this we’re ready”, he looked at me and you could tell he wanted to scream again but I didn’t give him the chance as I was walking off with some of the packages to ship. He got the message.
Wow! I find it hard to work for people like that. I tell my leaders that I will manage them in a calm way because I want them to be calm when they are managing others.
The best boss I ever worked for called me and another person in to a meeting. We were not agreeing, my boss and I, and she had the other person leave. She then told me to spill my guts what was bothering me. I went ballistic on her. I had my son’s birthday party planned that weekend and she wanted me to work and I had already told her about it. I went off for like 20 minutes. When I was done, she said, in the calmest voice ever, that I would not have to work that Saturday and she had forgotten. She apologized and said she would move the project to the following weekend. From then on I never had a problem talking to her, whenever I got upset about something I would go and talk to her. She took me to lunch all the time to discuss things going on at work. I still miss working for her, she was that awesome.
Great leader: she owned the situation.
She taught me a lot about being a leader, not just a manager or boss.
I don’t work for him anymore. I have another job that is easier(sometimes) and the bosses we have are fantastic. Glad I got this other job. Just say I still hear about him from time to time still doing the same thing.
Sad.
It’s interesting that you should ask that. I remember a few years ago there was this concern that no one wanted our coaches.
I personally think it’s a good thing. It’s good for our coaches to get these chances and it prevents the program from getting stagnant. You avoid “Academic Incest” so to speak, keep thing fresh with different perspective to get great results.
I hear ya.. but Frustrating never the less.. Now.. we have to bring a new guy in and we all know this year we need to bring in some good DL recruits.. and whoever it will be will be playing from behind on the recruiting trail.. and I was hoping Diron being in his second year would hit his stride on DL recruiting..
You’re right. Can’t seem to get any traction. I agree, we need someone who can coach and recruit or we a need a great coach who recruits just want to play for.
Me, too, but I can understand why he wants to do what he thinks is best for his family.
They should ask if they are prepared to move family down here. That would give you a clue if they planned on staying a little bit at least. LR moved his family here.
Might have something to do with a California job opening and the family living in California. When you don’t move the family, it’s probably short term.
Morning MoJo!
Mornin’ Golf, hope all is well with you this morning.
It’s great day since the ban hammer came out last night.
Yeah, he was a bit of a pest.
Morning, MoJo!
Mornin’ Sam. Two days to Belize. Hope you all can hold it together without me.
Can I fit in one of your suitcases? I’ve always wanted to go to Belize!
I’d take ya if I could Golf. You’d be proud to know (even though I’m not a golfer) that my mode of transportation down there is a cart. Cup holder is a must.
Careful around that hole.
You talking the Blue Hole? If I’m too lazy to golf, you know I won’t be doing any scuba.
Yeah. It’s creepy and mysterious looking. Sometimes I Google it just to look at it and wonder.
My dream is to go there and spend about a month. Fool with the blue hole, the beach, ruins, golf, fish, hike, etc., etc.
It’s a perfect place for all of that. The Blue Hole is about a 4 1/2 hour boat ride from shore. That’s a long day.
It’s on my bucket list. It could be a two day boat ride and I’m down for it.
That is the primary mode of “social” travel where I live Mojo. All golf carts in my area are equipped with a drinks cooler, an “OU” sunshade and lawn chairs for going down to the beach in the evening to watch the sun go down and chat with friends. “Life is good!”
Good to hear Rick. Mellow is my middle name.
That’s funny…..so if mine! The wife wouldn’t allow “Mellow” on the captioning of the the golf cart though…she thought it somewhat presumptuous.
Mine allows me just about anything any more. But she’s seen me in the worst of times, and the best of times; lol.
I do hope you and the Mrs. have a wonderful time. I would ask you to think of your bros. during the trip, but the indigestion would cause a less than desireable effect on the fun, relaxation, romance etc and etc. Have lot’s of fun!
I travel with Koozie’s as you can’t have enough.
I collect them from everywhere I go. I tell the wife I have everyday koozies and dress koozies. She pretends to think I’m funny.
My friends come over and they go to my koozie drawer where I keep the cheap ones. My good ones I keep in a secret safe place as they seem to disappear. When I travel, I only take my OU koozies.
That’s funny, I’m the same way. Somebody comes over, I give them one and tell them not to forget where they got it. Not my dress koozies though.
Last story. My next door neighbor seems to forget to put the koozie up. When I go to his house, I always wear cargo shorts. When he goes to the restroom, I reach in his drawer & 75% of the koozies are mine. I fill my pockets up and the next day he says, where did all my koozies go? I just laugh and what makes it funny, he’s filthy rich and doesn’t want to buy any.
Josh wanted to get a TFB party for the spring game and I told him I would help. One thing I would buy for everyone is TFB approved koozies. I think it would be a great time. Who’s in?
In
I’m in!
I’ve seen a couple of golf courses in Belize, one was right on the ocean. That is a place I must visit before I die. I hope you enjoy your time down there.
Very calming atmosphere. But I’ve heard that golf will even ruin a perfectly good walk.
A bad day of golf beats a good day in the office! 🙂
We won’t be able to now that you mentioned you’ll be in Belize! Ha. Have a great time, brother.
Thanks Jake. Love it down there. Very easy going.
Great to hear
I will. Trust me.
If you see a midget in a cat mask when your over there, run the other way
That goes without saying Jason. Not just in Belize, but everywhere.
fwiw, Sterling Shepard is projected as 58th pick overall to the Kansas City Chiefs in Yahoo draft preview.
I like that A LOT!
As a Chiefs fan I endorse this message
Hell yeah!
Anything positive happening for Shepard is ? great

Whoever Bob hires will have to hit the ground running in recruiting.
He better be in as good a shape as Reynolds was then (with all that running ;])
Yep DL is the obvious biggest need this cycle. I think he will find a good ‘un
Is there a Diron Montgomery available.
His name is SFD84 for short.
Bob, are you here today?
I’m here Sam.
Good morning Bob!
Good morning Sam.
WOOHOO
Morning, Bob! How are you?
For anyone interested in real estate investing, the latest Bigger Pockets podcast featured Ryan Broyles talking about legacy wealth.

I love how Jerry Montgomery never changed his Twitter handle from “OU_CoachJerryM” (now a year later).
It’s almost like he told Coach Stoops, “I’m gonna go pad my resume for a year with GB, I’ll be back this time next year, big dawg”.
#JustWaitOnIt
#Boom#Boom#Boom
One can dream.
Every night! ?
For as good as Monty was as a recruiter, you could tell Reynolds was a better coach. I am in no way trying to say Monty was a bad coach. But do we take Monty back if its an option or look for someone that can better coach the talent they bring in?
I’ll take elite recruiting with above-average coaching, versus semi-elite coaching with average recruiting.
Trust me, I was VERY happy from what I saw with Reynolds & I believe his recruiting would have picked up this year/going forward. This is a definite loss, but it is fun to think of a Jerry Montgomery reunion.
Calvin Thibodeaux? He almost got Bledsoe to stay in Kansas, plus he’s from the Houston area…ties to Texas would be big in recruiting. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a former Sooner.
I would have to think this is at least a definite option that’s worth exploring (for the reasons you mentioned). Makes sense in a lot of ways
Good thinking. I thought he might have got the job when they hired Monty.
Thibodeaux would be good. I also like the idea of going after C.J. Ah You. He would definitely help when going after those big, mean Polynesian dudes out on the west coast.
Kinda nice that Bobs been around long enough that his former players are starting to work their way up the ranks and learned from him well enough to be good to great coaches in their own right
only problem with CJ is he has never been a position coach or recruiter at the D-1 level yet……whether he could influence the Polynesians in Hawaii, California, Utah, etc to come to OU is a streeeeeeeeetch at best…Kasatati didn’t have any influence and he was a starter for 2 yrs…
From what I remember when he left, he and Mike were not the best of buddies. Not sure that chemistry could be worked out.
Heard the same. That’s a shame if that’s the case.
I too remember a few heated exchanges during the games where MS was ranting and JM was looking at him like, what…really.
Morning Rick! How are you doing?
Still kicking, finally got a couple of big moves, landed in Huntsville, Tx. Looking at a board with 18 loads within 500 miles of here, not good! I’m blessed, I’m happy! How’s my bud?
Doing ok. Trying to find two drivers. I have one retiring this week. Other than that, all is going good.
That’s cringe-worthy
Id be pissed too if I had a top DT on my team along with Tapper and our line wasn’t getting the job done
Does Monty have another twitter account..Im curious if this one isn’t locked into OUs system
No, this is the same account that he’s used for the last 3 years. He makes posts semi-regularly.
If Mayock were really good, he’d be working for some pro team. That Shep isn’t among his Top 5 WR’s reveals just how bad he is. I would bet next week’s paycheck that Shep is in the Patriot’s top 5. A lot of other teams as well.
Better than Kiper.
Morning Dustin! But that’s not really saying much. Kiper is a jerk and a weasel.
At least McShay is full of knowledge and insight.
he also equates on field production to ability not just the guy runs a 4.3 and jumps 38″
McShay gets tired of Kiper rather quickly. LOL
Today he’s full of something else..
Kiper is pure entertainment and no substance. Mayock and Kiper argue for ratings.
Mayock has actually laced up a pair of cleats.
Morning, Dustin!
Hi there, Sam.
That’s not saying much. At least he played the game and as such, you’d think he’d see or recognize the special skills that Shep possesses. The kid simply makes plays.
I think Mayock is a pure numbers guy. He isn’t able to equate mental ability in his evals.
You guys keep acting like I am the one hiring the new coach. I’m not.
I have confidence in your hiring abilities Sir.
well then what good are you? lol
Bob,
Your humility is lost on us Bob.
Perhaps one silver lining in having a new coach is all the Dline guys will start “even”. I have nothing against Matt Dimon, the dude plays hard and is solid but I wonder if he should be in ahead of a few others namely Que. it sounds like Stoops gives his position coaches a lot of say in the depth chart of their own position group. Not pumping sunshine here, I would prefer Reynolds had stayed but maybe some good can come from this.
Pump away ?
They started Even last year yet Dimon still started at DE…He wasn’t even competing against Que
Overton and Dimon play different positions. Dimon over Walker is a legit question.
Yeah, I realize they play different positions but I’m pretty sure there was a game or two where Dimon slid inside at DT rather than going with the young fella. Maybe my example wasn’t the best but again, nothing against Dimon but IMHO there seems to be several more explosive/disruptive lineman options.
perhaps tfb will have an op with coaches they think would be worth going after
They have done this in the past. Always an interesting read
Something to talk about!
If anyone wants to throw their hat in the ring….

DL coach is not listed in there yet. LOL
