So Stoops told Texas A&M no thanks? Thats kinda crazy, guess they didn’t want to break out the brinks truck for him.

I think it was the other way around.So Stoops told Texas A&M no thanks? Thats kinda crazy, guess they didn’t want to break out the brinks truck for him.
He strikes me as the type of coach that could let potential realignment impact his decision. If Syracuse gets left behind in realignment Kansas would be a much better job. Thats a big if, but one that needs to be thought about before making a somewhat lateral move.Is Kansas a better overall job than Cuse though? The recruiting area is better, they have a good roster, a great atmosphere, and you can get guys to follow you because there are way worse places to live.
It‘ll be hard to say no.

I feel like their initiation involves goats in some capacityStoops probably walked in and saw that weird tradition of theirs, & said…nah, Lexington is safer.
I agree but if rutgers got in to the B10 then we could bring them over with us just because of their basketball alone.He strikes me as the type of coach that could let potential realignment impact his decision.

He took over at Kentucky. Go look at what Kentucky was before Stoops, a habitual 3-5 win team. They were happy to win 6 games in a season.I like stoops. But he won’t last with the leash they give him. Stoops took over in 2013. Def not a flashy hireView attachment 267780
No way Stoops makes 9mill/year. Saban makes 12, Kirby makes 11, Day makes 9.5, Harbaugh makes 8. If Kentucky is paying 9 million a year I'd be stunned.Cheap hire? Mark Stoops makes 9M a year at Kentucky. I don't think he's coming to Texas AM and taking a big pay cut.
This guy knows ball. Coach Stoops the real deal.If he can keep Petrino or hire someone on his level or higher, they will be a force. Do not underestimate a Stoops with top notch resources.
Double edged sword though.I wish our board/boosters would’ve done that when Blake hired Manny.
