To me, the wheels fell off when qb did not develop. He made a mistake in redshirting Justin Fuentes.

I think Justin could have been a decent qb by mid season – even as a freshman. He had a great upside in Howard’s Offense. People would have seen that.

To summarize: Treating a guy reasonably fairly is the way to go. You can look back on your coverage of Howard with satisfaction.

You stuck up for him all through his time and I have heard you stick up for him when others are making fun. I care not one way or the other , but you are showing a lot of class now and in the past.

I was actually excited when he was named the OU coach back in 95 – I don’t know why it didn’t work out, it just didn’t seem like a cultural fit. His old school style (i.e. no water breaks) and Gary Nords famous gaffe during their tour of the state were a couple of examples. It all unraveled after the Texas tie. Oh well, enough nostalgia – we have a legend in the making now (Stoops) and Schnelly is back where he belongs (Florida). The planets have lined up for both.
