While Chuck Long’s play calling was at times predictable, at least he seemed to change his play calling in reaction to the defense. Kevin Wilson doesn’t seem to do that. He seems completely set in is game plan. It’s almost like he scripts the entire game, as some of the plays do not seem to take down and distance into consideration.

I believe that Kevin Wilson should step down. And if he refuses to do so, he should be fired. This is certainly not a one season issue. This has been an issue during his entire tenure as offensive coordinator.

I blame Bob Stoops for appearing to take a completely hands-off approach to the offense. He is the head coach and is 100% responsible for the play of the team. I realize that his knowledge is in defense and game management, but he needs to be aware of what is going on (or supposed to be going on) offensively. In college football today, you cannot win with a great defense and a subpar offense. In OU’s case, they have the weapons offensively, but lack direction and consistency. That isn’t a player problem, it’s a coaching problem.

If Bob Stoops can’t recognize that and can’t realize that the appropriate move is to make a change at offensive coordinator, then I question his leadership. Stoops consistently get a pass in the blame game for OU’s woes, and I for one cannot understand why.

1) “The OU coaching staff makes NO adjustments during game situations….”

Why do all OU fans think they are smarter than college football coaches? This drives me crazy. You are not a coach. Yes, they make adjustments at halftime. They do. There is not a coaching staff in the country that does not make adjustments at halftime. Even crappy high school coaches make adjustments at half time. Just because you think you can’t see what they are doesn’t make it the coach’s fault. Players have to execute for game plans to work. This statement is outrageous.

2) “I’d gladly take an old worn out Switzer with his play-calling, ability to evaluate talent and player’s coach personality..

Well, if that’s true, you’re an idiot. I hope you’re just venting and not being honest, though the fact that you came on and responded to an article means you had time to think about what you were saying. Who cares if he’s a “player’s coach”? If that’s really what you are worried about, go watch USC. The players obviously like him well enough, or they wouldn’t come here.

3) “Sadly, Landry Jones doesn’t have what it takes to lead the team. He proved himself to be medicocre at best!”

He’s a redshirt freshman. Why do OU fans think that they have the ability to see into the future with every player, and why do they have to make such ridiculous statements about players after one bad game? Stop with the reactionary thinking people, and just watch the game. This is not life or death.

And my personal favorite of the asinine OU fan comments on this article…

4) “In all due respect,know the players work and coaches work hard, but for myself who isn’t a wealthy person, Sooner Football is a very expensive hobby and one that hasn’t been very enjoyable.”

You know what? This is not the NFL. These are not professionals. They get their school paid for to do this, but this is not their job. This is how most of them are getting through college, and hopefully graduating after they are done. So you know what buddy? If you don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on this particular extra-curricular activity…DON’T. There are plenty of other people who would love to have your seat. These are not the Cleveland Browns. You do NOT have the right to imply that you should be getting a better product for your money. So if you aren’t enjoying yourself, then stop watching and go bowl. I hear you can play over at Sooner Bowl for 25 cents a game during OU games. That would fit your budget AND you could have fun and have nothing to gripe about. Except you would inevitably find something wrong with the lane you were on I’m sure.

Lastly, Berry Tramel, what exactly is your point? That OU should play not to lose every game, instead of playing to win every game? You are nothing more than a shock jock at a bad newspaper.

Fans, here’s the deal. OU can’t win every game. They cannot win the national championship every year. They can’t win the Big 12 every year, or even the Big 12 South every year. It’s not going to happen. That will NEVER happen. No team in the nation will ever even touch the 47 game win streak. College football has changed too much for that to happen. There are more people playing football now, and less scholarships to give at each university. College programs are going to go through periods where 1) they aren’t as good as they usually are, 2) have a rash of injuries to All-Americans that hamper their ability to be play up to their potential, or 3) a little bit of both, like we’re seeing now. Stop calling for coaches’ jobs and hurling insults at 21 year olds. The simple fact is, there are going to be years like this. It just happens, and there’s nothing that can ever change that. Every team in every sport on every level goes through cycles of winning and losing, so when OU’s downturn comes, take it with a grain of salt and understand it’s not going to last. Drink a beer, take a deep breath, and remember that this is Oklahoma football, and this season is not the norm, and this won’t last. Relax, stop with the vitriol, and understand that college football is not life, nor is it worth getting so angry about. I’m sure your wives and kids will love you for it.

Talk about overrated….Especially Stoops….

BIG-GAME-BOB……WHAT A JOKE!!! I’d gladly take an old worn out Switzer with his play-calling, ability to evaluate talent and player’s coach personality ability to recruit any day………
