Stoops: Peaking or Peaked?
6/8/2009 4:30:14 PM


It's hard to believe that it's been eight-plus years since OU defeated Florida State to win a national championship.

Numerous things happened to make the championship possible.

Heupel was magical.

The defense attacked.

Florida State was vastly overrated.

Will Stoops win another national championship?

Reasons for:

He's a great recruiter.

He's a fierce competitor and is probably getting tired of hearing the Medium Game Bob business.

He has embraced the quarterback pass game, not the quarterback run-pass game, which is more dangerous to the offense than the defense.

Reasons against:

Is he loyal to a fault to his coordinators?

The defense thinks too much.

The defense has lacked a game-changing playmaker.

The BCS voters are probably getting tired of all the big bowl losses.

Suggested changes:

Display sense of humor.

Hire somebody new.

Beat Texas for a pleasant change of pace.

You probably could have put this on the non-sports board since ou doesn't win bowl games anymore.

As long as they keep winning the Big 12 Stoops is going to keep getting chances and he is good enough coach to win some of them. We owe it to Bob to win the Big 12 so he doesn't have to l;isten to all the talk this year.
