HOWARD sCHNELLENBERGER

Sooner Schnellenberger? Is that your true alias?

The guy is literally 80 years old now. His coaching days are over. He is wondering what brand of Depends to wear. In fact, his days were over a long time ago. As someone else said, he capitalized on his rep from the early 80's at Miami when he had every gang member known to man with good athletic ability on his roster, but he did absolutely and positively nothing ever since.

Why you pine away for this senior citizen is a tad puzzling. Why not have a 53-year old guy (or thereabouts) with one NC under his belt and 8 BCS appearances leading the program? For better or worse, Stoops is far better than Mr. Bourbon, John Blake, or Gary Gibbs. 

You won't win a NC every year. And surely Schnelly wouldn't have given his stupidity. It's one thing to say on national TV when OU is getting blown out in the Copper Bowl (to what team I don't remember) "These guys are fat and out of shape." Anyone can say that, especially when the team is getting steamrolled. It's another thing to lead a program. Bob Stoops is definitely the right guy. Perhaps you ought to remember the Schnelly era like I do when I was a student at OU. Or the Gibbs era. The present is far better than the 1990-1998 time frame. Just look at the wins and losses, NC's, Big XII titles, NCG appearances. 

And when the meirda hit the fan, the guy just bailed. That sums it up right there. No commitment to the program. More of a politician spewing a bunch of gibberish.

That ought to tell you all you need to know about Howie.
