Neither is Sam Pittman.
They could maybe get fleck from Minnesota, but stoops and Pittman have established their cultures at Kentucky and Arkansas they ain’t leaving unless it’s a big time school
Just the same, I'd get busy on promised facility improvements if I were MB.
Why on Gods beautiful green Earth would ANYONE in the SEC leave for that job. Especially Pittman or Stoops.
“Yes. You too can inherit a dumpster fire with unrealistic expectations and absolutely little recruiting resources or NIL draws. Compete head to head with the likes of Texas and OU has you try to compare towns like Austin with a rich cultural nightlife to Lincoln, NE.”
No thanks.
Seriously. Just look at the negatives listed by a redditor that lives there: any of these sound remotely appealing to a college kid?
Drinking is about it. But even that gets old after awhile when it’s the same people every weekend.
Once again, come to Nebraska. We have corn and the most awful winter weather imaginable.

Baloney lists....they'll not get a Big 10 or SEC coach to go there. They will have to settle for the leftover of Big 12 or Pac 10 leftover teams...or back to Sunbelt, C-USA coaches. Everybody knows their toast in terms of talent to pull to Nebraska.
It’s Pete Thamel, he always tries to start crap that isn’t there
While he is an Illinois native I could see Bielema being interested. It’s not like he’s mopping up on the recruiting trail in Champaign. And while Nebraska has its challenges I think it still has a higher potential ceiling than Illinois.
The only jobs I see stoops even considering are the top of the top jobs, Nebraska is not anywhere close to that
Stoops and his agent would have to be brain-dead to leave this situation for Nebraska.
Neither one is brain-dead, especially the agent. 🤣

I spent a month one week in Lincoln.
I don't see a Stoops future for Neb but it could have a ripple effect. Brad White will get a HC job sooner rather than later, I can see Neb hiring a G5 and the G5 going after White.
For anyone worried about Stood leaving for a job like this, it’s a zero chance. For those who didnt see it Saturday ESPN had a great preview article on Stoops going into the UF game and the there if the article was how much Stoops had put his DNA on the build up of the program and how it relflecred his personality.
Then they kind covered the big time off season job offers that came Stood way (LSU) and how others would keep coming in the future and they wandered why Stoops seemed to be comfortable with staying out ….. and here was Stoops response in a nutshell ….
“I’m just feel so connected here to the fan base”. And then he repeated the word “connected” later again.
For him it’s not just a good job, he feels grateful for the opportunity and connected to the program and community and fans. He can feel the mutual appreciation back and forth so it will take something really special for in to move on.
In fact I’d say that as long as he had things going well here he would never leave, as the only thing that would make him start looking is if he hit a tough patch to where the fans started losing some of their love. But that will take something more than just a few kisses because this guys earned some serious respect from BBN that will weather some tough spots IMO.

That brand is dead but they have actually had decent recruiting classes. One thing that may not be a huge deal but is something that is not an issue with the other candidates is that Bo Pelini is a pretty close personal friend of Mark Stoops since childhood in Youngstown. Bo has been pretty public about his anger at the Nebraska administration and fans. Marrow was with him at that time too.
Tom Osborne is not walking through that door. Tommy Frazier is not walking through that door. 😆
No way MS leaves for that mess.

If they're targeting Stoops they better be targeting Mike because no way mark leaves for that dumpster
Honestly I frequently forget nebraska exists as a state.
Nebraska was a great football school...25 years ago. I don't think there is any way or any amount of money that could get Coach Mark Stoops to leave Kentucky to go there. Maybe he meant to say Mike Stoops. That could be a possibility.
We are a better program in a better conference with a better recruiting base.
Nebraska needs to keep Mark Stoops name out dey mouf.

NU website fanbase is calling for Bob Stoops (or Urban Meyer) and not much cornhusker mention of Mark Stoops.
Appears all of the Mark Stoops talk appears to be coming from sports media and not Lincoln.
GBB!

Sam has said he is working his last job, if it's 10 more years and he retires or he is fired tomorrow. Not taking another job. His plan has always been to retire in Arkansas, getting the head coaching job just came alone
I know it's a bad loss, but that's an emotional firing. It never helps your program to fire the head coach before the end of the season. No one will be as motivated more as Frost would be.
Stoops is not leaving Lexington for anyone… ANYONE. He’s made history here and is almost at the top. He will go down as UKs greatest coach
So thamel trying to make stuff up
Some media member for Nebraska just said Matt Campbell is the number one choice and they expect him to take the job
Testing for steroids done in Nebraska. Everyone wondered 30 years ago how all the Nebraska lineman weighed over 300. Plus Nebraska always had better facilities than most Universities, but everyone caught up and surpassed them
Sometimes I wonder if this is the agents floating interest, or if this is somebody pulling names out of their butt. I don't know how they make these lists day of a firing.
We need to go ahead a build a statue now. Make it really awkward for him to ever leave. Lol.
Not emotion, but forward thinking. Firing after Ireland would be emotional. Losing to Georgia Southern at home was the final proof.
But the worst thing that could happen is if he finished 5-4 in a weak Big 10 West. Right Now everyone is united in moving on. If hes kinda good, stillyou know he's not the coach, but might be harder for boosters to pony up. Could cause a riff in fans and team.
Best thing that happened was 97 cats didn't start playing until after Curry was fired.
