Daily Bullets (Dec. 1): Coaching Carousel Spinning, Rating OSU’s Hire

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• Wild circus in college coaching ranks yesterday – Lane Kiffin chose LSU, former OSU target Alex Golesh landed at Auburn, Arkansas signed the Memphis coach, and Florida got the Tulane coach  (ESPN)

• Carson and Colby recapped the season finale and talked about the start of the Eric Morris era (PFB)

• From the above ESPN article, columnist Adam Rittenberg analyzed the Eric Morris hire: 

Morris is only 40 (cue the Gundy memes), hasn’t been a Power 4 head coach, and before this season had only middling results with North Texas.

His quarterback track record is his superpower, though, and Oklahoma State needs a renaissance at the position after things fell off too sharply. Morris can recruit Texas and build up the roster.

Time will tell if he has the expertise to win one-score games in a league where programs are extremely similar. [ESPN]

• The O’Colly dove in and made a profile on Eric Morris (O’Colly)

• Cowboy Basketball is one of the few remaining unbeatens in college basketball (PFB)

•  Impressive stuff from Clint Bowen and the crew to finish the season: 

Clint Bowen won’t get his due, but Oklahoma State quietly went from giving up 38.8 ppg (2nd-worst in FBS) to just 17.0 ppg over the final three weeks (25th-best).

The Pokes didn’t end the losing streak — last three by one score — but Bowen’s run as interim DC gave them a chance. pic.twitter.com/4SMAzwqWtZ

Non-OSU Bullets

• How to remember everything you read (I recommend throwing it in Chat and getting a summary)

• How to practice gratitude when you don’t feel like it (faith-based)

“Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.”
