Finally Mark Stoops admitted Monday that he had not been on the same page with his offensive coordinators.

While I am not sure that is totally accurate with Neal Brown before he left to become head coach at Troy, it was obvious last year that Stoops and Shannon Dawson may not have even been reading the same book some games.

“I think it’s fair to say, but again, I don’t want to get into all that. I’m into getting first downs and scoring points by any means necessary. Each coordinator that I’ve hired has full autonomy to do whatever they have to do to move the ball. One hundred percent, I don’t interfere," Stoops said.

"If there’s a game management issue. If things are getting slid one way or another, I’ll talk about it then. Outside of that, they have full control. I’ve said it since I’ve been here.

"I think it’s very, very important that I fix the things I know I can fix. And that’s defensively, special teams, attitude, there’s a lot of things. But fixing offensive problems, I cannot do. So that is on the offensive coordinator 100 percent and it will be as we move forward".

The best way to fix offensive problems is to recruit more talented players. You be surprised how much better a team gets when the talent level is upgraded.
