Mike Stoops To.....

[Stooper]

Traber said on the pre game today that Mike Stoops had been offered the FAU Head Coaching job by Schnelly. Traber also said that Mike had been contacted by Urban Meyer about Ohio State Defensive Coordinator job. Has anyone else heard this? I sure was hoping he would come back to us in some capacity.

I heard he will not be back at OU.....His descison......

I think the high profile DC job would be a very nice landing place for Mike if true.

I read this morning that the FAU job was "rumored" to be an option. He's probably going to have a good sized list of options, both for HC and DC.

I think he would be a good fit with Ohio State under Meyer.

venables never leaving unless he gets good HC gig. Not looking likely with D rankings in bottom 50 since he took over.

One website is saying that multiple sources close to Stoops say that despite other offers, Mike is locked in with Urban at tOSU. Stoops is going home to Ohio, looks like. Also, tOSU is about to get scary good. They are about to start dominating that league again...but this time it may be far more dominating.

Maybe Mike realized what Gary Gibbs did, they are a better Defensive Coordinator than they are Head Coach. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, some people are better Head Coaches than Coordinators and others are not, the demands of Head Coach is not something all deal with well.

He picked the wrong school. Arizona will always be a butt pimple.

I kinda like the thought of him at Ohio State, cussing out everybody.

[SoonerinSouthlake]

I get it..
I understand all the circumstances.

But man...If Mike is gonna be a DC..I sure am disappointed it wont be for OU

[oumartin]

why on earth would we want mike back. we got Brent

I can't argue with that one....

I think tOSU is going to struggle. Once the NCAA wraps up their investigation, there is surely going to be a stiff punishment handed down. With Michigan on the rise, and seeing how they compete for a lot of recruits, it would seem that tOSU will have trouble landing the top tier players they have grown accustomed to signing. The Penn State situation may help them a little, but I think Meyer is going to have to be ready for several years of mediocrity. Plus, he doesn't have Tebow. :)

Well, no great love for tOSU here, but kudos to them for assembling a great coaching staff despite the sanctions coming their way. I like that spirit.

At this point, I'd love to see Ohio State or even USC or Miami dominate college football. Anything but this SEC BS we've had recently.

I'm sure in a few years I'll signing a different tune.

I would tend to agree but no other team in the B1G has proven to reload every year. Wisconsin and Michigan State will need to replace Wilson and Cousins. Nebraska isn't a world beater. Penn State deal of course. Michigan having its best year in a LONG time. Will they continue after Denard Robinson is gone? Even with other sanctions, players will flock to Urban and tOSU. Plus tOSU nearly beat Michigan this year and they are only 6-6. First time in 7 years Michigan has won and it barely happened against a 6-6 team. tOSU has ruled that conference. Until proven, I don't see anyone taking their place...unless the NCAA hammers them hard. And I don't see that happening either.

I heard he is locked in with meyer going to tosu:(

[pphilfran]

My predictions..

Urban won't last 4 years....

Stoops woul do fine as a DC with the Buckeyes...he won't be back at OU...he needs to make his own path to success and working under Bob a second time will not help...

Maybe BV can go to tOSU and Mike can come back...would be a great move especially if he markedly improves the D at OU...

And maybe if I wish hard enough a millions dollars will appear out of no where!!! I love this game!
