ORUParentLurker Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The MO for new head coaches is to get their own players and assistants in there. Mills had only one recruit o the roster in year one. He also retained two assistants. We're definitely seeing some player turnover which is typical. I wonder if the coaching staff is set.

ORUalum Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I think ORUpl's point was that a condition of employment for the new coach may have been retaining the interim coach and director of ops for the sake continuity to the program and players. Now that we are one year in, would the coach have more latitude to round out his own staff as he sees fit? It seems like a legitimate question and this first year may have been a year long job interview for a few people on the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUALUMNUS99 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I am pretty sure that Coach Perry has not been at workouts for this entire off season if that is what many of you are wondering. Perry and Upshaw were both holdovers from the Sutton era so that the players would all not get up and request their papers. Which did not help much since we lost all of our main players except for Kearns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUalum Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 All the best to Coach Perry. He seems like a great guy. Tough situation being a holdover from the previous staff. Hester seems to focus on primarily recruiting TX, Patterson the foreign guys, and Bozeman appears to have AR roots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the great single-scene performances in cinema history, rivaling Jack Nicholson’s courtroom scene in “A Few Good Men” and Robert Shaw recounting the sinking of the Indianapolis in “Jaws”.

theeagleman5 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 It IS one of the great scenes in movie history....too bad OT can't post the entire 10 minute clip but it's very R rated..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUParentLurker Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 What's hilarious is that most definitely is one of the most memorable and iconic scenes in movie history. Yet it was part of a pretty horrible movie. Which is pretty shocking considering the cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he lands on his feet. Bozeman is originally from Mississippi and played at South Florida before moving to Little Rock. He has had success recruiting in the Southland Conference. I have to think that MIlls assumes he can bring his links/contacts with him to ORU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
