[CornHOLIO]

I can't help but wonder who AZ is going to get that will fare any better...The French?

If AZ hires the French to run their football team, then the Army, Navy and Air Force will called into play the games for them.

Sign him.

You trying to say George Washington couldn't hit a curveball?

 

George Washington: Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come.

Eddie Harris: You know you might think about taking Jesus Christ as your savior instead of fooling around with all this stuff.

George Washington: Jesus, I like him very much, but he no help with curveball.

Let's not start a holy war here.

He came pretty damn close to being fired.

 

Despite a string of early losses, he recruited well and came out with a good game plan.

 

Stoops however... had not recruited well.

 

Well, yeah, but that "game plan" was inviting another team to play. AZ Stoops couldn't invite OU Stoops and his army to come provide support.

Next up... contrasting the Solich Era with the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

 

Vietnam War would be a better comparison. He won... but he lost.

The point of my bringing up General Washington's record in the early part of our Revolutionalr War was to highlight that the actual W/L record is not what is the most important factor, but the direction of the program is.

 

Is Mike Stoops losing because he inherited a bare cupboard from the previous staff, or has he had the opportunity to fill the roster with his players?

 

Is the team goaing through a transition with a new coaching staff, and if so why?

 

Does the team have a natural recuriting base, a national organization, and good facilities, or are the alumni and fans expecting something from nothing?

 

In looking at Mike Stoops' tenure at Arizona, I believe that he has had a fair opportunity to win... but came up short.

 

Washington on the other hand, turned things around and won big.

 

That said... the British Army was not the Big Red. They had a good offense, but the defensive gameplan was not sound.

 

I get it now- same logic that rationalized the firing of a 9-3 Frank Solich. The old "direction of the program" clause.

That obvious, eh?

Stoops got the job because of his name and the defensive success at OU. Not every coordinator makes a good HC
