The coach sounds great, but we already have the best starting QB in Oklahoma. BB lit up the kitties ( as a red-shirt freshman) and will only get better. A scary thought for future opponents. (although we can't have too many QB's to keep each other sharp). Welcome to the group, SFB.
Wasn’t one of them the football coach in Modern Family?
An interesting post earlier in this thread from a first time poster.
I don't watch much outside of King of Queens, unfortunately.
The Tulsa World is as useless as toilet paper after eating 30 tacos.
Stigler must be writing for the World.
To be fair, their list is long and includes GJ and Brennan as HC candidates.
As it should. But listing a damn hs coach perpetuates that nonsense perception that TU is somehow so much less than that we’d hire someone with zero college coaching experience at any level.
Pretty much all of the local media are doing that with this deal.
Because most are uninformed and are OU/OSU fans.
Just remember that you can’t fix stupid. Accepting that tidbit will give you peace. LOL
Twitter has several morons going on about how TU made the wrong decision and how TU isn’t a good coaching job blah blah blah. I didn’t realize there were so many haters out there.
Likely whatever he wants to make, with respect to the highest paid coordinators, if the Frogs get by K-State and make the BCS.
There have been some good HS coaches who eventually became FBS head coaches, but in almost every case, they are a college assistant coach for a few years before becoming a head coach.
They’re not haters, they’re just folks that are too ignorant to think for themselves or develop an educated opinion. As southern ladies like to say “that poor thing”.
It was publicly reported he was offered the job and they failed to reach terms.
Everybody has an angle on this type of deal. They have to spend money to cover this story so they throw garbage out like that so every Bixby fan will click. It’s a lot more clicks than the Barry Lunney fan club. Same thing with mentioning Todd Graham.
I'm surprised they didn't bring owasso along for the ride.
Would have been funny if they put David Alexander's name in the hopper, while not taking Broken Arrow along for the ride.
Malzahn was a HS coach who was hired to be the OC at Arkansas. He was hired mostly because Arkansas wanted the Springdale 4 to go there. He then came here and lit it up before being hired at Auburn. I believe his 1st HC gig was Arkansas State for 1 yr before Auburn brought him back to replace Chizik who was fired for all sorts of violations. But again, it is exceedingly rare for a HS coach to go straight into a HC role in D1 with no college coaching experience. Now am I opposed to whoever gets the HC job bringing Montgomery in the be a position coach or even an Oklahoma recruiting coordinator? No. That'd be fine.
Owasso is all excited about getting another crack at Bixby after taking down Union. Any distraction that can be thrown toward L Montgomery is fine with me.
