Being in Okie, with OU fanatics as buddies, I keep up alot with OU (even though I pure, flat hate them). Anyhow, I dont think we're giving BV enough credit. He runs the Defense. Stoops WAS a defensive guy, now he lets BV run that. And he runs it very, very well.
Second, as someone mentioned, he's a fantastic recruiter with ties to Oklahoma and Texas, obviously. Strong ties.
Last, he's got the correct coaching tree. He's from Snyder/Stoops and a VERY fiery guy. I think this has actually cost him some jobs, there was a time he was considered borderline crazy. The man takes passion to a whole other level. As far as Mike Stoops being a negative, the dudes in Arizona. It took time. But, he's turning it around. Theyre having a hell of a year.
