24-44 in conference a 35% winning percentage...puke. And he took over a good team they made the tournament 7 out of 9 years. The previous year to his takeover they advanced to the second round. Then they disappear. No slow build needed, the team was doing great and there are few schools with more resources than OU. He is a bust. Plain and simple.It might. They have four huge opportunities ahead. I don’t think 2-2 will do it.
It’s the dumbed down expectations of here taking hold. A new normal. If he makes it this year, it’ll be a hotseat next season unless he’s more than 1 and done in the NCAAT. But OU goes from making the tournament better than 75% of the time to making it 25% of the time (giving him this season for best case) and it’s somehow considered successful. I don’t comprehend that.
Now if he saves his job this year and does something next season, then he’s gaining ground and will start to shut up his naysayers, which is most of Sooner nation.
Maybe it happens.
If he falls flat this season, that’d be 2 NCAA tournament appearances in 21 years. A career winning percentage of 55. And a conference winning percentage around 42.
This is the very definition of mediocre, at best. At least so far.
