OU Fires Capel. On Seth Davis's twitter.

Sorry to hear it, but certainly not a surprise. At least they paid him a lot of dough.

Mercury · Mar 14, 2011

pretty expected. I'm sure he will land somewhere.

GA Tech!

Maybe Shaka Smart will think twice before jumping onto the first ACC boat that gives him a ticket.

if shaka goes to gt, does capel come back to vcu? :lol:

VRam · Mar 14, 2011

Seems like only yesterday that the same AD had that big parade/reception for him to announce him being hired. Band playing, mascot, cheerleaders, the whole friggin' deal.

Only if 18-10 and 19-13 seasons are "winning enough"

Don't know him personally, but it sure seemed like he went to a cocky "I'm in the big time" attitude when he left. I guess money will do that to you. I really liked him while he was here and working his butt off.

Sorry, but this is a silly statement.

You don't know him personally, but then you're going to assume things about his personality? Based on what?

When I interviewed to Jeff before and after the Oklahoma game last year, he was down to earth, gracious and friendly, just as I remembered. He's a good guy and I'm sure he'll land on his feet.
