If they've reached out to GJ that might change things. I'm sure he would like to have Marion as his OC, but we could still offer Marion as a head coach and that might be enough to sway Marion our way. The position of HC might hold more sway than more money as an OC. When you say off the field goings on, are you just talking bout being up for various jobs?
No. I thought some of the stuff was known, but I’m not wanting to get involved any further. Let’s just say TU isn’t interested.

I figured TU wasn't interested in him from what Chris had said several times over the past few days. I was just operating on the premise that they might be interested in him in this thread.(Two separate premises running concurrently.)
 
@kcarzoli am I being too much of a miscreant? ;)
lol, I’m not sure what happened I accidentally clicked on your name and it popped up to unfollow… I’m really not sure what that even means on here I didn’t know I “followed” anyone lol. But sorry, no hard feelings

I don't even know what it means either. Does it pop up under notifications in big red letters, or what? I was just joking, no hard feelings had!

On main forum page, I normally click where it says “last post 3 min ago” and I missed that and hit your name and then i guess I also hit unfollow at the same time. But I think I’m following you now for what that is worth

Yeah, I you only get notification if somebody is following you. You could unfollow me now, and I'd never know. I was followed by a woman that had a complaint against a football player on TU's team. Regrettably that one was serious. I had made a comment about him, and she took it as a sign I might know something about him other than what I said. Left me an email iirc.

You can accuse me of being excited to hear who we hired tomorrow. That one I'm guilty as charged. Hopefully you won't have to accuse me of being disappointed after the fact. ;)
 
I’ve now been told this announcement could be as late as Wednesday.
Let’s announce/introduce the new coach in front of an arena 3/4 full of OSU fans!! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Sorry. First thing that came to mind.

Also, Wednesday is national signing day. It’s a day ( or two) late to hire a coach.

Please ask your friend not to reproduce the last FB search. Odom is our new coach! Oh no, wait, he's not our coach. Wilson is our new coach! Oh no wait, he's not our coach, he's pissed that he wasn't our first choice. No wait again, Wilson IS our new coach! Nothing like leaking your new coach and then figuring out you can't pay him enough.

Report: Barry Odom out of the running to be Tulsa head coach
 
Well 1981 obviously the search is NOT over. So I am NOT sure any of your information that you are putting out on this board is valid. We still do not have a coach!!

That’s fine. I was told by someone who would know that a selection had been made. Ever think that the candidate declined the offer?? That’s what I think happened. All told, I’m confident Justin will get this right.
 
TU has found its new coach and it will come out tomorrow.

So what you meant to say was: "I heard from someone that TU made an offer, hopefully there's an announcement soon." I appreciate your enthusiasm, but false hope man!

Wrong. TU made an offer and it was declined.
 
I’m not saying “I know all”, but if you knew what I know, you’d probably just stay quiet, 1978.

You’re closer to this, 81
 
Looks like we are missing on our targets I think we ought to go after an up and coming D2 coach I think K-state did that and it worked out good for them
 
This program is taking its last breaths. I'm not being black pilled, just facing reality. Unless big money comes in and brings a big name coach and gets us into the "money" I do not see how my alma matter crawls back from this in the NIL era.

Everything I have heard from pretty reliable sources says exactly the opposite of what you say. In fact, I have been surprised with the amount of money being thrown at TU sports recently.

I don’t have any sources but I do feel this is the case. They hired a younger AD with a drive to get things done and I don’t think they would’ve done that without knowing they were going to have to make some changes to go in the right direction. His email he sent out gives you the feeling he will do whatever necessary to right the ship.

I don't have any direct experience but I think NIL is overrated as an influence. There have always been major differences between richer and less rich schools, that hasn't changed. If the interwebs are right, Big 10 schools got $60m last year and AAC schools got $10m. It's not like some teams suddenly got rich and upset an established system. If NIL was the main factor, then you'd expect the top 25 to be filled with rich schools, and that isn't the case. If anything, there seems to be more variability this year than in prior years. I'm not saying NIL is unimportant, just that I don't think we're worse off in this system than we were before NIL. I think with the right coach, we can compete for AAC championships.

Carson sees no reason we cannot be as good as Tulane. Emulate SMU. That we should aspire for excellence in all things.

Better decisions and resources are needed. But why not Tulsa?
