Stoops is doing his job that should not be the concern. Look around at the players who seem to not give it their all even when the coaches are in their faces and instead of playing the game their on facebook and twitter complaining. Let whoever wants to transfer go because we don’t need them we have coaches that can recruit and a great school to get them. Running quarterbacks are a problem they get injured and turnover the ball. Blake Bell has showed durability and I know he’s a very tuff guy because I played against him multiple times. The problem is he’s not playing Kansas high school players anymore. Maybe he could stay healthy and keep turnover minimal but stoops not wanting to risk injury should not be a down side to his coaching because without your main guy playing your chances of winning become very low. If your a true Oklahoma fan you would let stoops do what he thinks he needs to do to win and if results are produced in the next 2 years HE WILL be gone. And don’t for get Stoops has taken many teams to the national championship and great bowl games.

You could add Adrian Peterson and DeMarco Murray to this list.

What you’re all forgetting about old OU and “smash mouth football” is that those were Switzer teams. Stoops will never be Switzer. And before you go and bad mouth Barry, just you consider ole Bob has never put together a NC team. He inherited that 2000 team. Those days are gone for good.

Tim I have often wondered about the QB issue and how Bell or Thompson would fit into Stoop’s style of offense. If we have Whaley healthy and Bell can throw the ball as well as he runs with it. OU would be very hard to stop provided the injury bug didn’t hit mid season as it has since we adopted the up tempo offense. Is Stoops capable of allowing his QB to be a threat for defenses tucking it and running with it when defenses get stretched, break down and the opportunity arises?? I don’t think Stoops would tolerate it. Bradford was made aware of it immediately in fact any other QB would have been jerked in Stoops system. The biggest surprise OU could give Iowa would be if Jones bucked up, got out of the pocket and ran or threw the ball outside the pocket.

And there was to be “running back by committee” at OU as broadcast at the beginning of the season. Only Finch really lasted but he did not get to play much during the beginning of the year. The fact is the Sooner running game sucked and was near the bottom. Only the “Belldozer” could get the ball in the end zone…a gimmick play. A bevy of prime RB’s now down to only a few…. Next year?

We need linebackers and DBs. Instead we are getting about 6 receivers….and we won’t be able to keep all of them….and what does that say about who the next QB wil be.. Thompson?? Bell?? Dont’t they both like to run the ball?

What ever happened to that RB from Iowa who transferred too late to make this season? Is he now going to Montana Tech or something too?
