Oklahoma State needs to move on from John Smith

[BaldAt23]

Things are hitting rock bottom in Stillwater and it is time to start a new era. 2 All-Americans is shameful for this team, especially when you consider the caliber of recruits they are getting. Their guys don't seem to progress.

This OKST thread sounds similar to an OSU thread...

If only they had Ferrari.

So, I kind of feel that Coach Smith should probably go, but who do you replace him with? 

[TylerDurden]

The thing is, you don't fire John Smith. He has to retire.

The AD should give him a nudge in that direction, but you still let him go out on his own terms (kinda). 

Who replaces him? I don't think you'll have a shortage of candidates who can perform at the same level they've been at recently and who want that job. Pendleton? Cunningham? 

It is tough to follow a legend.

This is a real catch 22, for the university and a coach. When and how does it end or change?

They should  probably look for a guy who doesn't hate his team.

Did Penn State recruit Ferrari? I just get the feeling that guys like Ferrari would find themselves unwelcome at Penn State.

• Semifinal - Vito Arujau (Cornell) 24-1 won by major decision over Daton Fix (Oklahoma State) 29-1 (MD 11-3)

Ouch.
