I really do not know anything about college football. However, when you look at both NFL and NCAA teams and their offenses, it would appear that we certainly lack creativity, innovation, and ingenuity. On several occasions in the past years, I have been able to successfully guess what play we are running -- if a football idiot like me can do that, what about our opponent? Stoops has said he leaves the offense with the OC, but that fact is a bit bothersome when you are the head man and you clearly still see some very weird choices for play calls. Third and 17 and you run the ball? That is nothing more than a capitulation and one more wasted play. We have to be among the leaders in no-count, wasted plays. You who know this game far better than I know it must be supremely frustrated.
After 12 years of a chance, with a 12-team playoff system in the toughest football conference, is continuing this boirder-line futility and mediocrity OK with everyone? We gave him an outstanding chance to get the job done, and he got us some good years with some signature wins. But we've also had many "signature" losses (several this year!). Recruiting has been just north of plain vanilla, and player development has been so so. For whatever reason, we have experienced in all 12 seasons under Stoops a ton of truly embarrassing moments and losses that rest squarely on Stoops' shoulders. Vacating 10 wins and a bowl game is one of them. This is why I think we have more of a Mark Richt situation here and now than any other. Despite some great seasons at UGA, Georgia finally decided he was not the answer, went to Kirby Smart, and now have two championships to show for it. We have to decide what it is that we want. For me, it's time for a change.
