Neither of these batty rumors even approaches last year's " Les Miles to Washington! " rumor, for my money the grand champion insane coaching-move rumor of the past half-dozen years, but they're both in the conversation for this year's trophy. Door #1 is Bob Stoops to Notre Dame : If athletic director Jack Swarbrick decides Weis' Notre Dame career is over after his fifth season, a...
... for the NFL Draft isn’t until mid-January. If Jimmy Clausen comes back with a Brian Kelly or Bob Stoops at the helm (and the receivers return), if Jake Locker comes back to an improving Washington program, if the PSU D decides to return en masse … well, in all likelihood none of those things would matter, as ND would go 7-5, Washington 6-6 (8-4 at best) and PSU 9-3, 10-2 at best. But, the...
... current coaches, had little trouble reloading from year to year.Excluding their debut seasons, Bob Stoops' lone "down" year prior to this was an 8-4 season in 2005, while Mark Richt's was a 9-4 campaign in 2006. In both cases, their teams were starting freshman quarterbacks (Rhett Bomar for Oklahoma, Matthew Stafford for Georgia), and in both cases, their teams got better as the season progressed...
... of the BCS. The Cowboys travel to what is sure to be an angry bunch of Sooners this weekend. Has Bob Stoops mentally checked out in Norman? After giving up over 500 yards and 41 points to an ordinary Texas Tech team, you have to wonder if the Sooners even care anymore. An Oklahoma State loss would almost force the BCS to take Boise State … unless you really think they’d take a 3-loss team...
Texas Tech 41, Oklahoma 13. The Sooners’ worst loss since a 45-12 thumping at the hands of Vince Young in 2005. Has Bob Stoops mentally checked out? The locals are still scoffing at the thought their coach leaving for Notre Dame. Two weeks ago we thought the Irish would pursue Stoops. They’d be fools not [...]
Charlie Weis is cooked at Notre Dame after losing to UConn. Next comes failed flirtations with Bob Stoops and Urban Meyer before Brian Kelly becomes the logical target, Dennis Dodd says.

... replace him. Amongst the names bandied about ( Sorry, word of the day calendar ) is "Big Game Bob" Stoops, who continued to watch the Sooner collapse this week against Texas Tech. For a system guy, he sure seems to struggle when his personnel changes throughout the year. I would, for what it's worth, wholeheartedly support a coach from the game heading to South Bend- Mike Leach...
VCU's cheerleaders may be F ugly, but the basketball team's style of play es beautiful, mang. From start to finish the Rams manhandled Oklahoma . Just a bombs over Baghdad 3 point barrage VCU brought. There is a joke in the college football universe that goes as such: What does Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops do? He loses football games. Maybe we should add Jeff Capel to that list for having...
Here's the odds on who would replace Charlie Weis before Bodog closed the betting. Urban Meyer 3/2 Brian Kelly 3/2 Jim Harbaugh 7/2 Chip Kelly 21/4 Kirk Ferentz 12/1 Bob Stoops 10/1 John Gruden 30/1
... than Darren McFadden. More happy thoughts: *Notre Dame fans salivating over the idea of hiring Bob Stoops. (Unlike the Urban Meyer theory, I actually can see Stoops leaving OU for ND. This season was THAT bad.) I can only imagine how Oklahoma fans are feeling about that right now -- either the idea of losing Stoops... or the idea that Stoops would consider leaving. Many...
Today's Calls : C.J. Spiller vs. Adrian Peterson, Tim Tebow vs. Dan LeFevour, Mike Scioscia vs. Jim Tracy, Bob Stoops vs. Mark Mangino, JaMarcus Russell vs. Bruce Gradkowski, Antawn Jamison vs. LeBron, Hawks vs. Anyone and More. The Opening Pitch: Some folks would look good in new uniforms. — C.J. Spiller will look good in whatever NFL uniform he puts on. (The Dolphins could use him tonight.)...
