I hear he is looking at a possible position at Boise State.

[NOVSooner]

yeah i'm hearing it heat up too, from the Tribune and ESPN (so take it for what it's worth) but their saying Stoops and Ferentz which essentially would wipe out Ferentz from any chance are the top candidates on the ND AD list. yes it would be a step down from OU but some would have to think he's more interested than in year's past.

[FaninAma]

Heard where?

Anybody who talks to Notre Dame about a future job has a career death wish.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Every time a top job opens up, Stoops's name is dropped.

[boomermagic]

I seriously doubt Bob will even get an offer..

[Sooner in Tampa]

Blevins says it's 45/72 that he bails and goes to the Domers

[swardboy]

Colin Cowherd is quoting the Chicago Sun-Times as saying they have a source claiming Stoops and Ferenz are on the short list, and that Stoops has expressed interest....fwiw.

[NormanPride]

Those people are all full of ****. How the hell would they know he expressed interest? What their conversation went like was:

Domer Office Gopher: "So I heard maybe they might be getting rid of Weis."
Reporter: "Wow, what else?"
DOG: "Yeah, and they might look at Bob Stoops and Kirk Freererrenetz. Or whoever."
Reporter: "Holy penis what a scoop!"
DOG: "Yup. Stoops probably wants out of that Okie hellhole to come up to glorious Jesustown, USA! I bet we get a couple championships next year with him at the helm."

There you have it, folks.

From all accounts (^^) he sounds VERY interested.

[swardboy]

Wouldn't that make our home and home with ND interesting if IT happened?!!

Personally I think that if a four loss year is Stoops worst here, he's nuts looking around.
(aside from his first year, which is certainly understandable)

[goingoneight]

Just who exactly is the coward who won't speak out about who their source is, when and where Stoops said he was interested so he can shoot the rumors down?

[Collier11]

Stoops is not talking about other jobs during our season

[tanjou]

Tracking the tail number of the plane the coaching staff uses for flights, there have been flights to Chicago in the past week...

[goingoneight]

goingoneight's fearless prediction:

Dean Blevins, Al Eschback or Chris Lincoln will ask Stoops tomorrow about Notre Dame.

To add, Stoops will say no, making the inquirer look like a fool.

[SteelClip49]

Of course Stoops is interested...he's Catholic.

If he does bolt for South Bendover then I lose all respect for him.

[KRYPTON]

Your sample of one (stoops = catholic = notre dame) is countered by my sample of one (me = catholic = thinks ND can choke on a priest's...)

[SunnySooner]

goingoneight's fearless prediction:

Dean Blevins, Al Eschback or Chris Lincoln will ask Stoops tomorrow about Notre Dame.

To add, Stoops will give the reporter his famous "Good Lord, can you really be as stupid as you look?" face and say no, making the inquirer look like a fool.

Fixed:D

[Sooner Eclipse]

Look, the only logical reason for him to do this is money. And the money doesn't add up. He might make 500K to 1M more at ND. At that price, he'll have 3 years to be in the NC game or they'll hang him by his short hairs too. Odds are he(or anybody else) ain't doing it at ND and will be fired just like the last 3. He can stay here and in 4 years earn more than he would have in the likely 3 n out scenario at ND. Plus he still has his job after the 4.

He's more likely to return to prominence here. He's less likely to be fired here. And there isn't a whole bunch of us Okies lining up financing to purchase that castle he's building.

[Snyder Cyclone]

If he was to bolt for Notre Dame, I say Jim Harbaugh is the man to go after.

[Collier11]

He isnt going anywhere...have you all seen the house he is building and the money he is making?

[SouthFortySooner]

Carol likes the beaches there. C'mon people.

[homerSimpsonsBrain]

If he thinks recruiting at OU is tough (i.e. getting good talent that can qualify), wait till he tries recruiting at ND. They made a choice a few years ago to hold their guys to a very high academic standard and they're paying for it in terms of the caliber of athlete they can get. Really smart, slow, and small.

That in and of itself tells me he wont be going to ND. Same reason Meyers picked Florida over ND.

[rawlingsHOH]

If he was to bolt for Notre Dame, I say Jim Harbaugh is the man to go after.

I would be shocked if Michigan doesn't make a run for him this year.

[1981]

It is funny how people get mad just at CST reporting this. OU is almost .500 this year. Let him go. Bring in Mike, Harbaugh, or that guy from Boise St.

[Partial Qualifier]

Where's the house? same addition he's at now?

[BoulderSooner79]

If we measure results by a single season, we'll end up with the coach we deserve.

[Collier11]

1981 is dumb dumb dumb dumb

[Collier11]

West Tecumseh and 48th maybe(not exactly sure), apparently its like 25,000 sq/ft or something crazy like that

[BoulderSooner79]

If he was to bolt for Notre Dame, I say Jim Harbaugh is the man to go after.

The news out here (I live within walking distance of the Stanford stadium) is that Harbaugh and Stanford are close to signing a contract extension. That doesn't always guarantee a coach will stay, but is shows intent and that Stanford knows the risks.

If that's aimed at me - I meant we'd get the coach we "deserved" in the Blake kind of way.

[Collier11]

are you 1981? I thought you were bouldersooner79?

[OK2U]

Will he have flat-screens in his bathroom like Mack???

[BoulderSooner79]

I think we're agreeing (about judging on 1 tough year).

[meoveryouxinfinity]

In Norman Bob is basically assured all home games as wins. Here you have to play Texas and the occasional tough Big XII away slate.

At Notre Dame you have to play USC and Ohio State. And a bunch of service academy-type games that Notre Dame has been losing.

[General Applewhite]

They are saying it would be over $1million/year more and a 7 year deal........if it is your dream job, kind of hard to say no to that money and security.

If I was him, I wouldn't do it, but you never know.......

i hope you are trolling/joking

[OUAlumni1990]

I thought it was in Stoops contract that any potential employers wanting to hire Stoops must go through proper channels (contacting the university) first?

Anyone wanna bet this is either a puke fan or a uterus fan?

[BoulderSooner79]

If Bob went to ND, he would have to factor in the cost of applying goretex to all his clothing. It would be needed as defense from all the advice he would get from Lou Holtz.

[sooneron]

He's a UTerus fan.

Is it cold in here?:D
