Quite the conundrum...

[Blueathletics]

If the Cats win and Boley does exceedingly well, does that buy Stoops more time....?

Not that MB had thoughts of releasing Stoops....but if they lose, there'd certainly be more heat on Barnhart to get rid of Stoops

Can we have it both ways? Spank the Cards AND get rid of Stoops...?

The only way Stoops isn't here next year is if he doesn't want to be. How Cutter Boley performs Saturday is largely irrelevant to that outcome.

100% agreed unfortunately.

Stoops has entered the Cal zone, most fans want him gone but it isn't going to happen yet(unless he takes another job)

Stoops is safe primarily due to buyout. Even if the buyout wasn’t an issue he’d most likely be fine because a majority of brass, boosters, and fans are tickled shitless with .500 ball and Stoops Bourbon Bowls.

All the “well young grasshoppers you weren’t here through the…” types.

They’d just as soon error on the side of law of averages. CMS’ tenure is 6 wins and a bowl so maybe 7 wins. As opposed to risk change.

The conundrum isn’t a single QB or game or even single season.

It’s the known vs unknown…status quo vs change.
