That's why I hate this time of year. Sitting back, fat dumb and happy, after the bowl win, then get smacked with something like this.

Maybe he's just working to get some more money for his coaching staff (like keeping Wyatt here)?

He knows the turnover in NFL head coaching. He's got a young family and I can't think that he would subject them to that uncertainty.

STOOPS AND NFL TALK HEATING UP AGAIN
Deanblevins.com
01.02.06 - 4:28 PM

We’ve been holding off for a week now. We might as well jump out there and address things that have been on the NFL grapevine the past ten days or so. Of course it all centers once again on OU coach Bob Stoops.

Radio reports are about to hit the air in KC speculating that Stoops was the guest of Kansas City General Manager Carl Peterson at Sunday’s season-ending 37-3 route of playoff-bound Cincinnati.

A Chiefs insider just told me he believes, but cannot confirm, that Stoops was in Peterson’s suite Sunday. He also believes the two were together Sunday after the game and that Peterson had unofficial conversations about the Chiefs job when OU played CU in the Big XII title game last year.

Informed sources tell me, “They’ve targeted three guys….in order they are Herm Edwards, Bob Stoops and Butch Davis.” He says the Chiefs have made a lot of money in the past....but right now they are set on doing everything they can to win a Super Bowl while the popular but unhealthy owner Lamar Hunt can see his beloved Chiefs play. “Mr. Hunt’s son Clark will make the decision but you can bet Peterson will sign off on it.” Before Sooner fans relax, keep in mind that I wouldn’t put too much stock in that order. Politics are involved in everything. And if I’m doing the hiring, I’d have a hard time choosing Edwards number one. Check with Jets fans on that one. This Chiefs source says that former OSU and Dallas assistant and Miami U and Cleveland head coach Davis is interviewing for the KC job right now.

He said he expects OC Al Saunders to leave and that he is the leading candidate in Detroit.

But first things first.

Stoops is cautious about putting himself in situations that make him vulnerable. While it would surprise me if he and Peterson would be hanging out shooting the breeze in the GM's suite, it would surprise me more if there is not serious consideration on behalf of the Chiefs.

Published reports have the OU coach as one of the leading candidates.

Multiple sources say this is nowhere close to any slam-dunk-Stoops- to-KC story. However, one NFL source just told me that if the speculation is true about Stoops and Peterson being together, “there’s probably something there.” We’ve talked and written for a couple of years about the fact that Stoops respects Peterson. And that the sucessful Peterson has a tremendous amount of respect for Stoops-the former KSU DC who has proven himself in college and appears to have the potential to succeed in the NFL.

Part of the transition could be easy if Stoops were to go to KC. One source told me that OC Al Saunders has been with Vermeil and has a good group of veteran assistants and would be a great fit if Stoops were hired. The Chiefs are good on offense. However, one of the KC Chiefs sources say that Saunders will not be in KC and that he is the leading candidate for the Detroit job.

However, some sources say that Peterson does not want to start the final years of his tenure grooming a coach. And that’s what it would take. Even Stoops would need a little time. Heck, he didn’t win a national championship at OU until….oh, I guess it was the second season.

Kansas City sources say strong candidates include Washington DC Gregg Williams, who floundered as head coach with the Bills and can’t be formally interviewed until after the NFL playoffs. But one source says following the charisma of Vermeil and with the magnetic Peterson, the Chiefs might want more than Williams-“not exactly Bobby Bowden when it comes to coming across to people.” Herm Edwards is connected to the Chiefs organization and key personnel including Vermeil and Peterson. But Edwards may be pushing for a pay raise from a loyal, strong and fair owner-a rarity in the pro ranks.

Sources say even though Edwards played for Vermeil at Philly, and is widely regarded as a terrific guy and coach, that it doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone feels that way…“there are mixed reports out there on everyone?” The Stoops name has consistently been speculated at or near the top of the list to succeed Vermeil. We’ve noted it for a couple of years, and have had conversations with some of the KC payroll about Stoopsand have had conversations with some of the KC payroll about Stoops/Peterson and KC. Kansas City’s Len Stiles will have a big say. He’d coached with Vermiel at UCLA and the Eagles and has the ear of people who want his input.

Kansas City is not the only team that has had Stoops connected with potentially becoming the head coach. Ten days ago, we were told by insiders of interest in Dallas and Houston. Each is intriguing.

In Dallas, Bill Parcells could be repeating history and just posturing for a pay raise. Or could be that the recent death of his brother could really have led him to give up the whistle. NFL sources say he’s interested in and has already drawn interest from potential network TV suitors.

Or, the unpredictable, daring, and Oklahoma connected Jerry Jones might be ready to give Bill a chance to jump ship before he would pull the trigger himself and bring in a guy who might not always be available for the plucking.

But as good and as confident as Stoops is, some wonder how he would step in and do a better job than Parcells-a guy who is a sure fire Hall-of-Fame coach and on a very short list of the best to ever coach in the league? In Houston, we were told last week that Don Capers was out and that Stoops might be the preferred choice. On the surface, the Texans don’t sound so good. But it could be appealing.

There are plenty of pros and cons to the Stoops and the NFL. Stay or leave? REASONS TO STAY: 1/ Job security. 2/ Championship caliber team returning. 3/ Failure of mentor Steve Spurrier in Washington. 4/ He’s a college coach. 5/ Family settled and wife successful Mary Kay business. 6/ Biggest figure in state. 7/ Pursue standards of Wilkinson and Switzer. 8/ Desire to see Peterson and Bomar finish college careers. 9/ Security of remaining staff and their families. 10. Increased time at work meaning less family time.

REASONS STOOPS WOULD REJECT THOSE REASONS: 1/ Not concerned about job security and all three jobs have quality ownership/management-Jones in Dallas, McNair in Houston and Peterson in KC. 2/ Albeit improved, the 2006 Sooners will not win the national title and if Vince Young returns, will be up to a ten-point underdog against Texas.

3/Would be going into much better situations in Dallas and KC. Spurrier jumped into bed with Washington owner Daniel Snyder-a guy one NFL source described as a “clueless jackass knuckleheaded squirrel). Houston’s owner is a respected man and is committed to seeing the Texans become a winner. The winning ingredients are in place with QB David Carr and Reggie Bush.

Stoops is used to calling his own shots and the NFL flow chart is not like it is in college. But the work hours “are what you make them…it depends on the quality of your work…you’ll spend more time at night because your stuff has to be ready by 8AM.” 4/ Yes, Stoops is a college coach. But just looking in Dallas you find a couple of guys from this state-Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer- who won SB rings early after making the switch. 5/ Better to move young kids than wait till they are 16. And can’t you sell make-up in Kansas City? Probably would expand her business. But they won’t be in food lines wherever they live.

6/ Who cares? Vermeil’s pretty big in Kansas. 7/ Stoops could leave an absolute hero right now. He doesn’t need to match or better the records of Bud and Barry. Maybe the pursuit of that tandem is not so hot anyway.

8/ Good point, but leaving those guys and other stars would be a nice way to go out. 9/ Another good point. But those guys won’t have trouble finding work. It would be surprising if the new coach would come from within, but a couple could possibly go to KC. A KC source says he was told Brent Venables would join Stoops in KC. And the bottom line is that the coaching business is a transient business. It is not the responsibility of a head coach to be totally responsible for a staff forever.

10/ Another good point. But this guy is in his prime. Work ethic and energy are not a problem. Some things would need to be adjusted, but it’s probably not something that would be a deal-breaker.

At the end of the day, you might ask why he wouldn’t take the large green and find out. If it doesn’t work, he shouldn’t have any more trouble finding good work than his pal Spurrier. Win-win for Stoops. Of so it seems.

But, don’t discount his current gig. Not easy to find a Joe Castiglione, President Boren, tradition, facilities, administrative commitment, money, Peterson, Bomar, and other talent.

A lot of mountain climbers like to go back after being there before and getting zapped halfway down the cliffs.

So, ready, set, go. Let the emails, denials, scoffs and badgering begin. Lots of cynics out there who consider this darn near blasphemous.

But we view it as irresponsible to not pass along facts, opinions and comments from insiders, when it pertains to a figure as big as Bob Stoops in Oklahoma.

And trust me. Whether anything comes of it or not, the NFL grapevine and now the KC media are again talking Stoops.

Does Stoops feel the urge to get to the big show? Or is he the coaching equivalent of the mountain climber who got knocked off the summit and is determined to see the view from the top again?


sigh....

Search to start close to home

By ADAM TEICHER

The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs will begin their search for a new head coach by interviewing offensive coordinator Al Saunders sometime this week.
But it won’t end there. By the time the Chiefs hire a replacement for the newly retired Dick Vermeil, president/general manager Carl Peterson probably will have talked with several candidates with far-reaching backgrounds: college head coaches, NFL assistants and former NFL head coaches.
Peterson indicated Sunday after the Vermeil era ended with a 37-3 win over Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium that he has several names on his search list, though he would reveal none other than Saunders. But NFL defensive coordinator Gregg Williams of Washington, a native of Excelsior Springs, and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops could be on that list.
One of Peterson’s favorite candidates, Jets coach Herman Edwards, appears to be off limits. Edwards has two years remaining on his contract, and Peterson said NFL tampering rules forbid him from contacting the Jets regarding Edwards.
“If the Jets call me, obviously I’d talk to them,” Peterson said.
After the Jets ended their season Sunday, Edwards tried to end the speculation he would jump to the Chiefs.
“As far as I’m concerned,” he told reporters in New York, “I’ll be back.”
Peterson also indicated he would comply with the NFL rules requiring teams with coaching vacancies to interview at least one minority candidate.
Asked whether he would interview other internal candidates in addition to Saunders, Peterson said, “At this point, no.”
That would rule out former Chiefs head coach Gunther Cunningham, now their defensive coordinator.
Peterson said he had no preference for a coach with an offensive or defensive background. He indicated he wanted a seasoned coach but didn’t care if that experience came in the NFL or college.
“Besides Al Saunders, there are some talented guys, and some of them right now are coaching in the playoffs,” Peterson said. “I owe it to Lamar (Hunt) and Clark (Hunt) to talk to those people also.”
Lamar Hunt, the Chiefs owner, echoed those sentiments.
“I think it’s important for us to have somebody who has experience,” Hunt said. “I don’t know personally that it is important to have pro experience. I’m open-minded in that respect. Clearly, the job Nick Saban has done this year (with Miami) proves you can come out of college and do pretty darn good.”
The Chiefs are replacing a 69-year-old coach in Vermeil. Even when he was hired five years ago, the Chiefs viewed Vermeil as a short-term coach. He wound up staying five seasons, two longer than they expected.
Their next coach probably will be someone much younger who could be a long-term solution.
“One thing I’d like to see is someone who has ample time to really make a name for himself and build a foundation here.” Hunt said. “We’re not looking for a two-year fix or one-year fix.”

Tx Boomer beat me to it. Coach had his chance to hit the NFL, and he turned it down. I honestly don't think he wants to do it. Money isn't the issue, at least as I read him. If the family is supportive and he thinks he'd like the NFL, he'll go. Otherwise, he won't. But you'd think he'd have taken the Cleveland job if anything, seeing as how he's from there (Ohio I mean).

However, if we do need another coach (argh!), I'd take Kragthorpe. Guy did an un-freakin-believable job this season. Tulsa was supposed to be nothing and they won their conference first year in plus a bowl game. Crazy, man.

Look at Pete Carroll, people love him where he's at, but the NFL made him look like a complete joke!
We love you here, Bob! Please think about traditional football before biting on the NFL's bait. Many great years are ahead of you at OU, whereas the NFL could see you laughed out of your stadium.

Watch the National Championship victory post-game show of 2000, or any of his other bowl game/conference titles/rival game victories... He really does like it... it's only a question of what he likes more... Tradition, teaching and respect... or gambling with your job on the line for a team who doesn't really represent anything other than an NFL franchise.

If one day, the NFL would stop the whole "what's fair is fair" and the recruiting/drafting situation ended up something like high school-to-college recruiting... I probably wouldn't hate it so much...
But then again, the only dominant forces would be in Texas and California... Much like a few years back with Dallas and San Fransisco.

TRAIN YOUR OWN DAMN COACHES, KANSAS... WE ALREADY GAVE YOU MANGINO!

I heard Mangino has thrown his hat into the ring too. He thought they said Chefs. :D

Now that I've had time to have some liquid nourishment, and think, I don't think this is going to happen. It's not about money. Bob is a millionaire and his wife is too. They built a house. They have young kids. Bob and his old friend, who just happened to be owner of the Chiefs, got together and chatted about old times. It just happened to be in KC where it happened.

I feel better now. I know that I can just write off tomorrow as being totally unproductive at work, while I scan the internet for the "latest."

There is no way Heupel comes in only to have his HC leave, there is simply no way Bob brings Josh in to this job only to leave him in a lurch after one game in the booth. There is no way Chuck Long leaves for SDSU only to have a snubbing for the HC job. I know fans don't like him, but he wouldn't bail the ship when he has friends and a vacancy opening up.

Vermeil isn't a spur of the moment fire, he is a retiring coach that made this decision a long long time ago. If they could have sealed the deal with Stoops during the season they would have and we wouldn't be discussing what if's now.

If Stoops does this, I will be sad but, he will always be a legend here, and there is no changing that. But his actions after losing his OC, and the fact that he won't take his staff with him to the NFL adds up to alot of talk and no chance at success. This isn't going through.

There are tons of good reasons why Leach would come back to OU. Facilities, money, recruiting power, fanbase, tradition. I think he'd take it in a heartbeat.

We could never pay Bob Stoops enough money to make up for the amount of money he has brought into the Athletic Department, the University, the City of Norman, and the State of Oklahoma. I have a good friend at the Budget department at OU. She said in 2000, there was a 100 million dollar swell in the local economy tied to Oklahoma gamedays (I think this also included bowl and BCS game payouts).

Do you think we would have as many stadium expansions ongoing if Blake were the coach?

I think Bob Stoops makes more then enough money, but he is worth 20 times what we pay him.

Same old refrain: Is Stoops NFL bound?
By DAVE SITTLER World Sports Writer
1/3/2006

View in Print (PDF) Format


The tears hadn't even dried on Dick Vermeil's face after yet another crying jag by the emotional Kansas City Chiefs' coach before speculation started over who would replace him.

To the surprise of no one, Bob Stoops' name immediately made the short list of many media members who were forecasting a successor to Vermeil, who coached his last game Sunday.

Kansas City officials apparently will have to get in line. Stoops' name has already surfaced as a possible candidate for a number of NFL jobs that are already open or expected to open this week.

Houston, Minnesota, New Orleans, St. Louis, Oakland, Detroit, Green Bay, Buffalo, the New York Jets and possibly Dallas could all join Kansas City in the coaching search.

Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione sighed Monday when contacted by telephone for comments about the latest Stoops-to-the-NFL rumors.

"Can't you just use the ones I've said every year?" Castiglione asked, laughing. "What's your headline going to be: 'Second Verse, Same As The First?' "

Well, that's an idea. Or, "Same Song, Sixth Verse" would also work.

Stoops has been a hot commodity on both the collegiate and professional

levels ever since he won a national championship in just his second season at OU. Everyone from the Cleveland Browns to the Florida Gators have checked out Stoops' interest level.

By being honest, Stoops has added to this persistent speculation. When asked about the NFL, he's candidly said he'd probably like to eventually see how he'd fare at the game's highest level.

Some observers believe Stoops changed his mind after watching his idol and close friend, Steve Spurrier, struggle with the Washington Redskins.

Wrong. Stoops isn't going to base his future on a friend's experience. He knows he's a different type coach than Spurrier (and a better one), and is confident enough in his own abilities to believe he could succeed in the NFL.

Just last week in San Diego, while standing alone with Stoops on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz during a Holiday Bowl function, I told him his name was already being mentioned if Vermeil or Dallas coach Bill Parcells decided to retire.

And Stoops gave his standard response about being happy at OU, but that the NFL could be in his future at some point. So it was no surprise when Stoops didn't return phone calls Monday, because he would have had the same answer.

"I don't know why it always comes up, but it seems to," Stoops said last week. "I guess it's better if people are mentioning your name than not talking about you."

Angry fans like to blame the media for keeping Stoops' name out there. But more often than not, it's a coach's agent who floats his guy's name when vacancies occur.

Stoops' Cleveland-based agent is no different. The agent is going to benefit monetarily if his client takes a new job, or the current employer gives him a hefty raise to stay.

That tactic has certainly worked at OU, where Stoops is college football's highest paid coach at $2.6 million per year. And if Stoops stays through the 2008 season, he'll receive a $3 million bonus.

"It's a package that's comparable with most of the NFL jobs," Castiglione said.

The best guess is that it will take a unique NFL offer to get him to leave. It would have to include a quality, hands-off owner who would give him considerable control, which is what Stoops has at OU.

In addition to his hefty contract, he has a boss in Castiglione who is one of the best ADs in the business. Castiglione is a coach's dream, because he works hard to give that coach all he needs to be successful, and then stays out of the way instead of meddling like many ADs and nearly every NFL owner and general manager.

But there are owners, like Houston's Bob McNair and Kansas City's Lamar Hunt, who are content to stay in the background. That was something Spurrier didn't have with the Redskins and the ultimate meddler, owner Daniel Snyder.

In his typically candid way, Stoops has also said he believes a coach can stay too long in one place. Even if he's been successful, Stoops said, a coach can wear out his welcome.

It wouldn't seem that Stoops has reached that point at OU. He could probably stay for life if he wants. But he's the only one who knows how he feels on that subject.

So, until he comes out with a definite statement, Stoops' status is again a hot topic.

And who knows? In a few days those tears could be on the faces of OU fans, while the rest of us are writing the first verse of a new Sooner coaching song.

Stay tuned.

Kragthorpe would be a fool if he were offered the OU job and turned it down if going out of state was his only reason.

He'd also be a fool to turn down OU next year (should Stoops decide to leave) to wait for a job offer from another school out of state that may never come.

Heh, I remember a few years back when Bob's name was circulating for NFL jobs and when he refuted the idea, he mentioned how the reporters kept bringing up how he was "intrigued" by the NFL. He said he was intrigued by high school, too, since his dad had coached there, but that it didn't necessarily mean anything. The Owasso job was open, and I almost started a "Stoops to Owasso?" post.

Actually, one of the sports radio jocks out here has been saying for awhile that Bob is holding out for the Texas job. As soon as Mack goes to the NFL, Bob'll be in Austin the next day. :rolleyes:

I can't believe a rumor by Dean Blevins - the guy who can't even beat Jenni Carlson at picking weekly college football winners - is getting any credibility at all.

I'll go 60/40 that Dean the Dream is 90/10 wrong 100/0 of the time.
