Anyone got a competent Defensive Coordinator candidate?

Watching WVU dismantle OK state. Might be a long birthday for me this year, the WVU band will be playing "Country Roads" ALL game long. Will score 40 on Oklahoma.

Another close call this week. Hard to have an offense this good, and a defense this bad. Cardiac test every week. And this was Oklahoma State, which nearly always comes down to the wire (and nearly always ends up with the Pokes being disappointed), but that 2 point conversion at the end was the right call by Gundy. If the QB makes the pass they win the game. Next week is Kansas, so that's something of a break anyway.

"Acceptance" as in Kubler Ross stages of grief? No, I don't think so. I've got a sense of humor about it, but I find nothing about this defense acceptable. This is not our standard, I'm ready to fire a second DC at the end of this season. Hire someone who can hold opposing teams to an average of 28 points or fewer. That will pretty much do it.

I see what you did there, but as an OU fan this year I see no need to be defensive.

Well, it's increasingly clear I won't be worrying about them again this year...

Sure, when mama Iggwilv gave me my unholy life and daddy Grazzt felt the cold touch of fear knowing that I would inevitably rise up and supplant him. Good times.

The OU-TXTECH game today... My Sooner defense is not good. Damn. Next week in Stillwater should be another one. Play West Virginia on my birthday. C'mon, now. Really?

Dude. You are Maryland, not Alabama. What are you doing?

That would be absolutely fantastic. A battle of champions/contest between those two would be hysterical.

Off season camping trip, middle child (15 year old son). Humboldt State Park.

Why would a decent human being even say such a thing? You kiss your mother with that mouth? Sheesh.

That average running back had great hands, and was better utilized earlier in his career than later. Get him the ball in space and he was a terror for defenses. Unfortunately for him, mostly that was not the case. He did the best he could with the hand he was dealt. I find that what team you end up with, the coaching philosophy/GM, and luck tend to be the best determinant for NFL careers.

OU soundly defeated TCU. No margin for error now. If they win out there is a likely rematch for the Big XII title (aka. "Bob Stoops Invitational"). Would love to see OU beat Texas in the conference championship. Would be delicious.

Ultra Human. I want me some Superman archetype.

Sums it up pretty well.

Probably already posted, but I really like it so...

Yeah, bad news for Cal and UCLA. Otherwise it's hard to say.

Agreed. Painful, but necessary.

It's not. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oklahoma-fires-mike-stoops-as-defensive-coordinator-after-texas-loss-ruffin-mcneill-steps-in/ Thank God. At last our long national nightmare can end.

No hangover. But three different recruiting sites (Hale, 24/7, Rivals) are reporting Mike Stoops is fired.

I generally agree, but think 1 & 2 are definitely on the table at this moment. Even a couple years out, if you get 67 votes 3 becomes almost a requisite action by the Democratic leadership. And 4-5 are terrifying, but maybe necessary. Time for hard choices.

Going into work, my weekend is shot anyway.

This. Practically speaking the Dems best hope is to take the House and fight a holding action. This November is the halfway to 2020 mile marker, nothing more.
