jackwebster Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) I've been hesitant to attribute the pokes' early season success to any technical training changes made by Taylor and co. I assumed that the team's aggressiveness, bonus point pushes, and ability to get off the bottom have been a result of a general excitement following regime change. We are still seeing elbow ties, an abundance of stutter steps in space, and shin whizzers or bust (not too many busts at this point). But then I noticed something: None of the coaches are wearing vests. Even Caldwell has abandoned the Stillwater sartorial staple. The trainer is the only holdout.

BruceyB Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Imagine the Pokes' coaching staff pulling up in this fit. To any of the older generation guys, no coach actually wore a singlet in practice did they?

Dad said he was an AA at OU and strutted around like a "Billy badass" ... meant derisively, of course. This had to have been in the late 70's, early 80's.
