JQ, here's my case for Heupel;

1. Did you see Lock's face at the beginning of the season compared to the end. He needs real help, or we run the risk of wasting an incredible talent. Heupel can do that, in fact it's the best thing he does.

2. He was fired to settle down the Stoops naysayers. OU fans are spoiled, and were calling for Stoops job ala UGA fan. Firing Heupel, bought Stoops time.

3. Heupel learned recruiting at OU. They recruit 5 stars as hard as 3 stars. They expect recruiting success. Mizzou has had a WDWWD attitude toward recruiting. Basically playing it safe with 2 and 3 stars and developing. We could benefit from an outside philosophy. Especially if were keeping Ford, and Hill who miss a lot of local 4 and 5 star talent.

4. His offense will be aggressive, using our talent to attack defenses. For the past 3 years, we haven't had an identity on offense.

I would say that 2013 definitely had an identity and lots of talent on offense. The last 2 years have been major struggles. Huepel has proven to be more flexible and willing to go with what works.

I love your reasoning, but agree with wubilli on his minor disagreement. We had an identity on offense in 2013 and a much paler version in 2014 - running the ball. Between Josey, Murphy and Russ they took games over in the 4th quarter.

For a second (albeit a jaded) opinion of the hire, here's a thread over on the Land Thieves board. LINK

I guess we can keep an eye open to see if their criticisms of him at OU reoccur here.
