Oklahoma is about to have a Tom Osborne like drop off. End of an era.

They had a drop off when Switzer left, too. It's nothing new.

 

 

Oklahoma isn't currently at the pinnacle that Nebraska was at when Osborne left so maybe the drop off won't be as bad as you are expecting. Also, some schools can actually handle a succession plan correctly or they can just get plain lucky.

 

I don't think I know of a school that hasn't had a drop off after a very successful coach leaves a team

 

 

Ohio State had one bad season when Tressel left. I hardly count one season as a drop off when you are considering a program as a whole.

 

LSU win total went up after Saban left and Les Miles took over. It then went back down once Saban went to Bama.

 

Wisconsin from Alvarez to Chryst has maintained success.

A few schools have managed to keep rolling but overall I think you are correct. Oklahoma, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, Florida State, Oregon, Kansas State to name a few all dropped off for some period of time after a very strong HC Retired or was fired.

Iowa maintained when Kirk Ferentz replaced Kirk Ferentz.

Outside one year with Luke Fickell as head coach at OSU when was the last time OSU didn't have a HOF coach? Answer, you need to reach back to the 1950s. I only bring this up because Oklahoma may be able to pull this off and not have much of a drop off like some other schools have seen. Just because places like Nebraska made mistakes in transition doesn't mean that all schools will do the same.

Is John Cooper a HOF coach? He wasn't bad, but I don't remember him being THAT good.

Thanks. I remember him as a guy that beat the teams he was "supposed to beat", but struggled against top 10-ish competition, especially Michigan.
