You could name a lot worse candidates than that. 4 NC games since 2000, won one and lost to Pete Carrol, Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. He is not in the first tier of coaches like Saban and Meyer, but we aren't about to spend 7 million a year on a coach either.

All three of those coaches also won while recruiting in states with more talent. There's no logical reason that OU should be good in football besides tradition and facilities. They've always had to poach players from other states and in today's day and age, that's much tougher than it used to be.
