You still can't give us your reasoning as to why not. Just because he won't? He's a legitimate candidate, the only one we KNOW Foley will pursue.T REX;n94140 said:
I can tell you this: If we hire Stoops, I'm going to shove your posts about him so far up your butt they'll be tickling your tonsils.

Well I would be happy with the hire so you'd be shoving them up a happy as hell poster. Have at you.
Reasoning? The guy's been there what 15-16 years? He spent two quick seasons here. Give me a break already. Why would he leave? He's a GOD there. Give me another instance in CFB history where a coach left a situation like that after 15 yrs to take over another school. I'll hang up and wait...

I don't think the fact that he coached here in the 90's is a reason he'd leave. Hell, that's a reason for FOLEY, not Stoops - since Foley is always so hung up on having former Gator coaches.T REX;n94168 said:
I think being there so long is also a reason he'd leave, not stay. People like a change of scenery. He also has a chip on his shoulder about the SEC, and may want to take on the challenge.
Next - MONEY. He'd get a raise and God knows how many more perks. I want to also say that I think his kids are grown or nearly grown by now, so it's not like he's moving little kids across the country.

I feel your post is filled more with hope than logic. Sure, there's a slim chance he might come here but OU will pony up the money to keep him. Most of his recruiting ties are Okie and Texas. This is a pipe dream. You're setting yourself up for a huge let down...you know that, right?

Nothing wrong with dreaming. Who is your dream coach? After all, thats all anyone is doing at this point....

I'd take Stoops in a second...don't get me wrong. Funny you say that as I was going to add the third group to our fanbase...the pumpers, the negators, and now...the dreamers. We're a top 5 job easily considering all the factors. However, when you really look at the list of top guys...they aren't leaving most likely. Foley may pull a coup for all I know but the realistic side of me says...we going to get a guy from that second group.

I dont believe he will allow us to turn into rocky top....he will get a hot hire...we can afford it.

Setting myself up? Dude, this is Jeremy Foley we're talking about. I expect him to make a bad hire. I don't expect to get Stoops, but I'm not completely dismissive of the idea like you are. You're acting like it's impossible and it isn't. Someone like Chip Kelly, Jim Harbaugh, or Jon Gruden is impossible - I don't feel that way about Stoops at all. You're going to start to see the idea of him coming here pick up smoke as the season goes on.T REX;n94215 said:
All I'm hopeful for is that there will be other people besides Foley involved in the decision to hire a coach (and the rumors say that there are). Then we may have a chance.

If Chip Kelly was not having success he might be an option, sort of how Saban became an option due to failure with the Dolphins. Seems like he is having success so that is probably out. Now this is a two way street with other institutions involved. Folks with coaches we might want that are in power conferences can pay whatever we can (and maybe more). So unless there is some other reason they want to come we are getting another up and coming coach, hopefully more in the success of Urban than Zook and Champ. Time will tell and this is why I would perfer Champ to be a success as unlikely as that is.

How about we hire a co-head coach? Champ keeps the defense only, new guy gets offense and special teams and head coach duties. Would this entice some who might not otherwise come especially if you think that Champ is a great defensive coordinator (I think he is OK and has gotten talent rather than coaching). Bloviate!!

Good Gawd, I know you are a dwag.
Rich Rod, already destroyed a major program and proven incompetent
Holgorsen, 4-8 last year, losing record in a shiiit conferences, and a poor recruiter even by WV standards. Neither can produce even mediocre defenses (hence their losing).
I'm alright with Petrino. Seems like their should be a better choice. It feels like voting for Bill Clinton. I can't imagine Fooley going this way.

Zambo had it right. Not only does Muschamp and his entire staff need to be removed from Gainesville (the entire state if possible), but a full team in Hazmat suits needs to come in immediately afterwards and disinfect every square inch of the facilities. All the current players will also need to be stripped down and hosed off by the Hazmat team. Their clothes will need burning.VulcanAlex;n94299 said:
