Does he survive a 3-9 season? Would they consider Stoops? That seems the type of school that would take a flyer on him.
 
I think all of you are mistaken that other P4 schools wouldn’t take Stoops. His entire resume says he deserves a chance at another place. We are one year away from A&M coming within a whisker of taking him. It’s not like schools haven’t taken coaches in the past after a flameout. Will Muschamp says hello. Ron Zook went from getting fired at Florida to take the Illinois job. It’s not unheard of.

And both of those coaches were mediocre, and I’m being gracious, at their next jobs, Stoops makes 9 million a year, he’s a $3-4 million coach. Nobody is going to come close to paying him what he’s making now.
 
Gundy has done really well at OSU. Wonder if things have gotten stale there? It seems like the P4 programs have a max shelf life between 10-15 years. Even Saban was burnt out after 15 years.
I was always surprised he wasn’t pursued more heavily by bigger schools. Gundy in his prime would have killed it at a place like LSU.
