OU ASST HEAD COACH GONE

[cykick]

It was reported Sunday the Asst Head Coach Beamer is leaving to take the South Carolina Head job.

What ( if any ) effect will this have on OU and the Conference Championship game with ISU?

 

[SoapyCy]

Probably none.

 

[jsb]

Zero.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Zilch.

 

[alarson]

He's staying at OU through the championship game so... None

 

[Cyforce]

Half the offense will need to be scrapped.

It is a bit of a distraction for him personally. He'll be juggling trying to put together a staff with his usual game prep. And also any press he has to do for the S Carolina gig takes time away from his current duties. Probably not enough to really give us an advantage, but might be something.

 

[Neptune78]

Not much effect, but the distraction certainly doesn't help OU either.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Jeez, I would hate for it to be a distraction for this collection of 5-star recruits.

Apparently, shortly after hearing the news, Rattler put his helmet on backwards and tried throwing left handed.

Oklahoma Assistant Coach named HC at South Carolina

I’m guessing we will see a lot of schools take a chance on emerging assistants this year to save some cash. I think a lot big names like Campbell will sit on the sidelines and wait for a better market next year. Like National Champion IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY!

I guess I don't understand Beamer's decision. I understand he made a commitment to OU, but it's not like he's the HC or even OC/DC. If that were me getting my first HC job, I would be on campus the next day. Evaluating assistants, reviewing recruits, etc. I know a lot of it can be done virtually, but with the early signing day coming up, I'd be more focused on the new job anyway.
