Not that long ago? That was about a decade ago when he was co-coordinator with Sonny Cumbie.
Bill Cosby was "America's Dad" in 2014. Things can change.

I'm personally acquainted with Doug. He coached at GMC when I was a student there, and he married a girl that I went to school with. As such, I've kept up with his career.
I hope for good things for both his and OSU's sake.

We have people on here still pining for Dana Holgerson and Todd Monken…..

Gundy is on the chopping block if he doesn’t go bowling next year
I'll give you Holgy, he hasn't set the world on fire.
Monken's been killing it and I'd take him back yesterday

These DC and OC hires feel a lot like his forced apology he made for calling us deadbeats.
He's doing it because he has to, not because he wants to make things better.
I hope I'm wrong and maybe things will turn out better.

Sure but not relevant to the knock on Meachem being his best offense was 2014….
They’re already better than Gannon and Shipensburgh State.
Exactly. I can't understand how someone in his position is allowed to even have such a mindset. Seems like the BOR agrees, and is tired of him stealing money from the university and fans.
Even Google's Gemini doesn't like the hire...

Is Doug Meacham considered to be a good offensive coordinator?
[Gemini]
Doug Meacham has a long history as an offensive coordinator at various levels of college football, and his record is a bit of a mixed bag. Here's a breakdown of his strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths:
Doug Meacham has the potential to be a good offensive coordinator. He has a history of success, experience with high-powered offenses, and familiarity with Oklahoma State. However, his inconsistent results and recent time away from play-calling are potential concerns.
Ultimately, his success at Oklahoma State will depend on several factors, including the talent on the roster, his ability to adapt his system to the team's strengths, and his ability to work with the coaching staff.
It's worth noting that his hiring at Oklahoma State has been met with mixed reactions. Some fans are excited about his return and the potential for a high-powered offense, while others are more skeptical due to his inconsistent track record. Only time will tell how successful he will be in his second stint in Stillwater.

Doug Meacham has a long history as an offensive coordinator at various levels of college football, and his record is a bit of a mixed bag. Here's a breakdown of his strengths and weaknesses:
Strengths:
- Proven track record of success: Meacham has been part of some very successful offenses, most notably at TCU in 2014 when they were one of the nation's top offenses and he was a Broyles Award finalist. He has also had successful stints at Houston and Oklahoma State (in his previous tenure).
- Experience with high-powered offenses: Meacham has experience running offenses that put up big numbers, both in terms of yards and points. He has shown an ability to adapt his system to the talent he has and maximize the strengths of his players.
- Familiarity with Oklahoma State:Meacham is an Oklahoma State alum and coached there for several years under Mike Gundy. This familiarity with the program and its culture could be a significant advantage.
- Inconsistent results: While Meacham has had some very successful offenses, he has also had some that have struggled. His time as the offensive coordinator at Kansas was not particularly successful, and TCU's offense in 2021 (his most recent stint as OC) was not as productive as in previous years.
- Hasn't been a full-time OC recently: Meacham has spent the last few seasons in more of a position coach role, which means he hasn't been calling plays consistently. This could lead to some rust or adjustment as he returns to a coordinator role.

If the offense is better than it was when Yurcich left, I'll eat all the crow you give me.
I don’t know what it’s going to be. But hiring from the NFL and TCU is already better than what some on here are saying we’re capable of.

I give us a 30% chance of a winning season at this point. If he picks some good talent out of the portal with P5 experience then maybe that changes
I’ll wait to see what Vegas says for the odds.
Being one of what, 84 teams making bowls isn’t exactly going to scream that the future is bright.
Others have said it, but that being used as a barometer of success needed to go about a decade ago. Guaranteed Venables will be gone if they go 6-6 & ‘make a bowl’ next year.
Forgot about the Beatty years!

Not many (any?) of our offers have starting P4...
We’re waiting on guys that are in the CFP?
