Gottlieb to Interview for Okie Lite Job

The further they fade away in the big twelve the better for ISU and well we did you know whip em three times this year.

This would be the start of a return to the glory days of a group of coaches I have missed for a while. It is hard to hate any Big XII coaches today, not like we used to hate some of the Big 8 coaches:

Norm
Dickey
Billy Tubbs
Quinn Snyder
Ricardo Patton
Dave Bliss

The coaches today aren't near the characters these guys were (Weber could be if we didn't own them and Huggins just doesn't have the floor show or character flaws the above guys had)

I could see Cyclone alley coming up with a new version of 'Sit Down Norm' for Dougie boy.

Did anyone actually hate Dave Bliss while he was coaching Baylor? I remember being largely indifferent right up until the whole lying to cops about players murdering each other thing, but that was in the offseason.

Why is everybody so certain Gottleib will fail miserably?

Because hiring a head coach with no coaching experience of any kind only works 1 in a 100 times (if that often). Fred also had a lot more playing experience and exposure to high level coaches to learn from.

Please verify your numbers by providing the 99 specific examples of times it didn't work for the one time it did;-)

Sorry, couldn't help but be a little snarky in this anonymous message board era when an untruth becomes truth because it is said so much ad naseum that people start to believe it.
 
Hubert Davis should have just continued being an analyst on espn instead of becoming an assistant coach. What a dummy.

I don't think everyone thinks he will fail miserably, it'd just be funny cause he's such a douche and it'd be fun to have a coach in the league to really hate. I could see him doing decent but not propel them to the top of the conference.

But we have Huggie's F-Bombs and Self's foot stamps to make fun of...what would Gottleib provide for us to hate on? I'd be more than happy to settle on another 2-3 wins per year...
 
I believe Jeff Goodman tweeted something along the lines of "Gottlieb came in second last year before OSU hired Underwood." This may not be as far fetched as some believe.

Yeah, I agree. It is not tried all that often, so I doubt it could be 1 in a 100.
 
Its too bad Underwood and Evans won't be around next year, their program was finally going to have some offseason buzz for the first time in years.

At the very least hiring Gottlieb would bring some excitement to the OSU program in the short term. And by judging the size of the crowds at GIA there hasn't been much to get excited about down their for a while.
