Charlie Tanners whiff on Whitlock and the subsequent sack of Obannaya in the end zone for a safety, had has much or more to do with that loss than the Gideon drop. That miscue ignited the TT fans, and it would take the next 2 and a half quarters to recover.
Bubba, We don't have to worry about Herman calling a recruit from the sideline during a game telling him, "Watch, we're gonna hang half a hundred on em".
HIC, Don't feel sorry for Jones. He did it to himself. He took Jimmy when no one else would take the job. When they "broke up", NOBODY would work for Jones. He turned to his old friend Barry for one year to try to repair his image and find a coach. Next year, no takers, so Barry stuck it to Jones. The job gave Barry a Texas address, TDL, voter registration, and no Oklahoma taxes.
