I think what the argument for brooks is, from me and seems like others, is that Stoops doesn't get to citrus bowls under the circumstances and schedules of Brooks and if brooks had Stoops circumstances he gets that next step. Brooks was a much more well rounded coach. Stoops can recruit better, or let's be honest ...at least vince can, but Brooks was a legit coach both sides of the ball. And if he had stoops facilities and no recruiting restrictions to start I'm not sure his staff were going to totally close the recruiting gap but would've closed it more than enough combined with his coaching advantage. And Brooks had done it all before at Oregon, the field there is named for him. It's not like we have to guess about him. I mean if you did nothing but put stoops facing Urban Meyer at UF and Petrino when he was really rolling at UL, I don't see him finding 9 regular seasons wins to get to that type of bowl in either citrus season. He's losing to one or both of those. If you're just talking about on paper accomplishments no doubt stoops ranks higher but relative to those paper accomplishments the east was a different animal because florida was different and again, lord help him if he was having to coach around only having 56 scholarship players in his upper three classes....
