Im still amazed at how many people blasted me for starting this topic, yet game after game there seems to be more people coming into the light. I know that there is not likely to be a mid(late) season change, but its still my opinion that we need to cut the cord at end of season. One recruit who will likely play for one season is not enough to convince me that he can right the ship. I just dont think he manages games well or that he knows how to put players in a position to be successful. #letspartways

Last year when underwear was having a season about like the one we are having now everyone was laughing at Illinois and thanking him for leaving. Now, he is the good one that Holder let slip away. Fickle bunch with a short memory fans are. Hopefully next year when Cunningham has us good enough to be top 20 this year will be forgotten. And, if not, the school will have ample justification to get a new coach and not look like the unsupportive place that is churning coaches as we would appear if we fired Boynton now.

Okay.....
So.....
We don't want a journeyman with a middling career and we don't want a guy with no head coaching experience.
So.....who would that be would be my question?
Can we get a guy that has proven head coaching experience, that has proven to be a winner as a Head Coach, to come to OSU.
At least one that won't be coming with some kind of baggage like a Kelvin Sampson type.
It seens that we are either going to have to hire a young guy with no Head Coaching experience at this level, or a proven guy that has baggage.
I don't see a guy like Gregg Marshall coming to OSU.
It's going to be a young guy like Boynton, an ecperienced guy like Sanpson that has baggage, or a guy with experience that has been a journeyman with a middling career
For instance.....
A guy like Bruce Webber is not someone I would want.

I don't consider Stephen F. Austin or Little Rock Mid Majors
Beard coached at Texas Tech as an assistant for 10 years, so they had a tie to him
But, he had 1 season at Little Rock and has struck lightning in a bottle at Tech the last 2 years, and is now 13-8 this year
Underwood is 42-44 at Illinois

My first call would be to Fred Hoiberg at Nebraska. He's an excellent college coach, and we're a better program than Nebraska. He would be an excellent hire if we could pull him away from the Cornhuskers.
Gregg Marshall would be an absolute homerun hire, but I don't think we would pay him enough to get him to leave Wichita State. It's sad that Wichita State's AD is more willing to support their basketball program than our AD.
I've always kind of liked Steve Alford. We could probably pull him away from Nevada.
I know it sounds crazy, but Kelvin Samson has really grown on me at Houston. I used to hate him as a Sooner, but I love the way his teams play. I wouldn't be opposed to him as a candidate if I was convinced he would run a clean program.
These are just off the top of my head. I think we could hire a successful coach if we aren't shopping in the bargain bin. If a change is made, we need to spend the money to hire a proven commodity.

Why do we keep deluding ourselves into the belief that a better recruiting class will make this guy a coach? There is no evidence of that. I understand that the mind set of many is to not want to believe what the every game result shows. The sign of every good coach is the continual improvement of his players and team as the season progresses. Even the worst of Eddie’s teams got better as a year went on. Tulsa (a team we beat) takes down Wichita State today. Syracuse (a team we throttled) played Duke to the end today. We are getting worse as each game is played. All he can say is that we lack confidence. This guy does not have it. We can just hope that somehow he will get better. Cade Cunningham will be an 18 year old phenom with no coach to make him better.
