[quote name="Ruckdad" post="983917" timestamp="1300306554"] I asked because you have been known to make some sarcastic posts in the past - and I just find it difficult to think that a guy who took OU to the Elite 8 would be interested in the Lamar job.  So I'm genuinely asking - are you serious? [/quote] I am serious. Now as for if Capel is interested, I don't know how serious he is. I apologize if I have misled you in the past. ;D

[/quote] I don't know - can I take this seriously? [/quote] Not sure I understand what you are asking.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="983898" timestamp="1300304801"] Capel was making 1.5 million at OU...........talk about a pay cut. [/quote] Yep. But sometimes you got to take what you can get. Also, sometimes the leading canidate doesn't get the job, for whatever reason. ;)

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="983895" timestamp="1300304554"] Please no Watkins [/quote] You are probably right on this, but.........

[quote name="sleepy" post="983876" timestamp="1300302690"] Cyprien is african american as well.  I also think it is time for a minority head  coach.  [/quote] Yes, Cyprien will get an interview as well.

He also has taken your post from over here about a minority hire and has posted it as one of his inside scoops.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="983830" timestamp="1300297619"] I will end up getting banned before it is all said and done. ;D ;D ;D [/quote] Looks like Dale found a way to post your uncle's name again. It's in the pro sports forum in the Dennis Walsh thread.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="983829" timestamp="1300297556"] LU will hire a minority as a coach.........this is not a hunch, but what I am being told!!!  Which I think is a good thing!!! [/quote] In that case, Watkins would make a good fit. He is 56 years old, but Lamar may need an experienced guy. He is currently the associate head coach at Missouri. Willis and Brooks will get interviews.

[quote name="killingmesmalls" post="983824" timestamp="1300296953"] Wildcatter stated "You are forgetting that a football ad is the guy who is going to be doing the hiring.  We had an opportunity to hire a really good basketball assistant last year, everything checked out on him etc.  Then, at the last moment, a good football assistant opened up and we instead had a new assistant bb coach who had never even played the game. I just think that a true bb coach is going to have trouble here due to the fact that the fb coach is not really interested in building a solid program, he wants to build "athletes" which means better football.  JMO" Who would this "good assistant" be???  The assistant that was hired was a head basketball coach and is the only one on the staff with ANY playoff experience.  Who should HF have hired? Does anyone know the list of applicants yet?  AAW has said a few clues as to who has applied but no concrete list. [/quote] I have been privy of some of the names on the list (which is still growing, no deadline set yet) but until HF makes it public, then I will not mention any names.

I am expecting a top assistant, one that has been a head coach at one time, to get the job here at Lamar. I was told last night that former Texas A&M head coach (no, not him ;D) Melvin Watkins is ready to get back as a head coach. I bet he throws his hat in the ring. Not sure he is a good fit, Lamar may be looking for someone younger.
