What About Stoops!

[Phil C]

I know OK and others have crowed or complained about Coach Mack not winning the big one but Coach Stoops has been at OK for five years 1999 - 2004 and has lost at least two games a year including last year's colapse in their last two games and except for this year and 2000 and remember this year they got whipped bad by USC for the National Championship. I know in 2000 OK was 13 - 0 and were national champions but we have to remember that he did it mainly with talent that year obtained by the prior Coach Blake who was fired after just 3 years (sort of like Notre Shame - I mean Notre Dame did - please excuse the inadvertent typo.) I wonder if OK fans will start howling. We will see.

Phil--Rest assured Stoops is still "devine" in OK. Next year will be a pivotal year for him at OU, with all of the players they are losing. If OU has a down year next season, and the right NFL coaching job becomes available, I think he will give the NFL a much longer "look".

If Big Bill ever leaves the ranch I would love to have Stoops replace him.

because Mack Brown cant win the big game that gets them to the BIG game. Brown hasnt coached in a National Championship game. Ou is losing in the Naitonal Championship game and Texas is losing games that causes them to miss their own Conference CHampionship game!

mack should be happy....new contract....just cant seem to beat ou. i think that stoops does a great job. it is sad taht people would want to get rid of either coach. i would love for tech to win 10 or 11 games a year. i think that one reason why mack is looked at like that is because he is probably the best recruiter in the country. he did it UNC and now at UT. having some media guys say that you have the best recruiting class in the country year after year and dont win the natl championship is high expectations.

also, remeber that ou won it all a few years ago and has been back several times. UT hasnt wona national championship since the yar that joe namath won the super bowl with the jets. thats quite a while.

Raider don't forget that just two years ago Texas won the national Championship in baseball.

i as a red raider would like that also....tech has had a couple of individual things such as cross country but the only team championship that i am aware of was the lady raiders (bb) hopefully tech will get one in football, basketball, or baseball someday.

Wrong again it was 1970, they won back to back in '69 & '70.
