OU is a bit better than BSU given tradition and history of being one of the oldest institutions, possibly richer alumni due to medical school and offering majors such as engineering. They are in a better position than us to make changes. It does not look fair to fire a guy that has better record than Mr. Whitford but different situation.

Ohio has had best attendance in league for yrs & he was not producing good teams. Getting worse & fans were upset with his lack of winning. Real questions are WMU Hawkins while bad has over time done well there. Does NIU & EMU have the money to pay off Montgomery & Murphy? We will see.Phillips was making $572,000.

Point being, Ou didn’t put up with mediocre, whatever the background there. And I kinda thought bsu had built a pretty damn good reputation in basketball at one point but I guess the rationale here is a pretty dumbed down program is ok at bsu. We give extensions to mediocre.

I'd be interested to see how many people on the OU board are openly advocating to accept mediocrity.

Yeah I'd definitely bring him in for an extensive interview if we have the balls to dump Whitford. |

Easy decision for OU because there was no buy out. They never extended the initial contract; may have made it difficult for Phillips to recruit, but made it easy to let him go.
Go Cards!

Early name being tossed around for Ohio is Ryan Pedon. He’s been in the MAC, Butler, and Big 10. So he’s got a good background. |
