Congrats to Leach for Coach of the Year.
He’s definitely deserving of it. Stoops on the other hand…

I haven't the foggiest idea
I thought that award normally went to the coach who did the most with the least. Seems to me Stoops did about what he should have done. I’d have considered Art Briles…they didn’t win more than last year, but the Bears were hella more competitive this year.

I thought this was going to be one of OU best years, so why coach of the year.
I go with Mack and Leach before Stoops and Leach.

Not sure it’s a real snub – it’s kind of difficult to rank the top 3 QBs and call any of them demonstrably superior to the others. It would not have been surprising to have the 3 listed in any order.

think it is kind of ridiculous that Dixon received newcomer of the year
when he already played at Tech as a freshman, and hence is not a newcomer
