Mark stoops contacted by lsu
- Thread starter Mulder14
- Start date
Timing of the Stoops/VM talk is curious. I'd remind all that we're less than a month from football signing day, this whole thing could be a concerted effort by some to derail what some are calling UK's best recruiting class ever. On a side note, recruiting site "experts" have been working overtime trying to sway recruits to those sites who have more subscribers than UK. Beware.
Well if he hadn’t propositioned a board of trustees members wife and then still pursued her even after she told him she was pregnant and married he probably wouldn’t have been fired . And it didn’t help that he allowed his young girlfriend and her children to participate in team practices on the days leading up to games . That said , if he had kept winning it would have been ignored.
Sorry but if you base it off of how we have performed against SEC teams we don't have anyone that is a legend even Bear Bryant. I am not saying he is a legendary coach for Alabama football but UK football has suck far more than it has been good and in comparison to most others stoops has been as good as or better than most others.
You would be surprised how “unconservative” our current offense would be with top athletes running it .
LSU is going to make this hire very soon to let the new guy get working for early signing day. If it’s O’Brien I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s before the Iron Bowl. Regardless, I’m not sure how the athletic department could put together a plan for an indoor facility in the next two weeks. What are they just going to tell Stoops they pinky promise to build it?
Jimbo isn't taking the LSU job. That said, if I were LSU I'd take Stoop over O'Brien. Mark's a superior HS recruiter, and has spent his career in college football. O'Brien's college HC experience at Penn St. (2 yrs. while they were on suspension) was "average" at best.
Success…..we’ve lost to every decent team we’ve played this year. We have only beat 1 team with a winning record and that’s Chattanooga.
So Stoops will throw away a sweet-heart contract and lifetime tenure to roll the dice at LSU and likely get canned in two or three years? Only a fool would do that, unless of course he just wants to retire in the near term.
Or maybe….he wants a chance to win the ultimate prize in college football. Coaches have egos for a reason.
That's the first thing I thought when I heard it. His agent putting out information so Stoops can either get a raise or whatever he's angling at. I would not be surprised if Barney's gullible ass offered him a Mel Tucker contract.

That would certainly end the discussion for a decade.
Kenneth Faried, at best.
Faried made it, but when the athleticism goes (and it will, quickly), he'll be out of the league.
No size. No handle. No range.
The last 3 coaches there have won national championships…2 of them were buffoons. That’s the only reason I think he would consider going there.
That's why I think Fla. St. is stalking him. He liked it there, they have a war chest of coins to show him, and he could occasionally win the ACC. Less stress than SEC, and a program that needs "building." Recruiting Mecca.
LSU has had two national championship in the last 60 years and shared another one with USC. What are the odds he get's another Natty at LSU? To me the early retirement argument is the only one I see as viable.
They’ve won 3 since 2003….with 3 different coaches.
The one in 2004 was shared with Southern Cal, but any way you want to look at it the odds are long, you have to beat Bama and then beat the East winner, and then two other elite teams. The first step in that process is winning the West. They've done that 3 times in the 15 years since Saban has been there - 20%.
Regardless of what some on this board think (not referring to you), Stoops is way too smart to full into that trap unless he was planning on retiring in the next few years and move to Colorado or wherever his kids are now.

What’s your point? They won the BCS national championship that year. They have 3 natties in the past 18 years.
Well, he can’t be any worse, that’s for sure. But just taking a quick look at Big Dog and listening to him speak, he doesn’t strike me as a quick thinker or an attention to detail kinda guy. Reminds me of Calipari, to be honest.
I don't see Stoops going to lsu
I just hope these bs rumors don't
cost us any recruits.

I can see the professional interest Stoops may have in the job, but does he have any personal connection to LSU?
I know he'd be jumping into a prime recruiting area from the get-go, but if he doesn't have any ingrained relationship with schools or coaches there, I'm just sure how appealing it would be. Youngstown to Baton Rouge is a long-haul for recruits.
I think he really values his home-state connections and believe it will be a BigFourteen Ten team who'll eventually get him, if anyone does.

I've thought since I moved here that if someone would do for UK Football what Stoops and Marrow have done that UK could win the SEC and still think that is possible. That said, Stoops has appeared to me to be somewhere else this year like Morriss was his 2nd year. I hope I'm wrong. We'll find out.
Anything short of competing for an SECW title and a shot at the natty for consecutive years, and you're fired.
See: Coach O.
Give him the job and let let coordinators do the rest.
Stoops has the best job in America. Not even just football. Everyone with a job in this country doesn’t have it as good as Stoops does. I agree he’d be foolish to leave, but maybe he’s ready for a fresh start and something new.
Any man that can employ the bounce pass fake field goal ain’t no dummy.
