Sanctions are likely to follow Bruce Pearl but only for 1 maybe 2 years and we won’t be any good in a year any way. Joe C might be a light gun shy though after the way things turned with Sampson and the NCAA.

Forget Tad Boyle he has his dream job roughly 1 hour from where he grew up. I would go after Lon Krueger and also take a serious look at Greg Marshall at Wichita State. 50 wins the past two seasons (so far) beat Virginia tech in their gym (Duke didn’t)maybe Bobby Cremins from College of Charleston

The idea of bracketology for Capel’s successor is innovative, creative, and lots of fun for all. Great work.

The perfect man has not even been mentioned. That would be Larry Brown. He has stated recently he wants to get back into coaching at the college level. He is 70, but a young 70. He has coached 2 College Teams, (UCLA and Kansas). He won a National title at KU and took the Bruins to the title game!! I don’t think he would drain OU for money, he justs wants to caoach again. It wouldn’t take him 3 or 4 years to get the Sooners back where they need to be!! Maybe 2 years. The only setback would be he probably would only be here 3 or 4 years!! He does not have a track record for staying a long time at one place!!

Very surprised Shaka Smart didn’t even make the play in games, when you are reaching for names like Eddie Sutton, Shari Coale and Byron Scott

Bruce Pearl just entered the job pool. How about him? I will bet that he would be happy to get another job and would take a significant pay cut to get it.

They dropped the ball Billy Gillespie was the hire, He turned UTEP back into a winner and NCAA tournamnet team,
Then turned A&M around and they were never good. Got railroaded in Kentucky, has been living in Dallas working with the AAU teams. Could have landed the players and revived the OU program.

For what it’s worth, coaches do not leave jobs at Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, etc. for a job at OU.
