    On the contrary, now that he no longer has a job, I think the speculation will be even more rampant. Hell, look at Jon Gruden. Man's been rumored for every job position for the last 10 years.

    no doubt Stoops retired so he can then go to Alabama next year to coach the D-line.


    it's a lateral move.

    OU fanbase feels all kinds of weird right now. Like super appreciative of Stoops, but feelings of WTF? But also still excited about this year's potential with Baker, but also WTF a 33 year old head coach at a program the caliber of OU? Wait WTF Bob Stoops isn't the head coach of OU anymore?

    All the local media, social media, message boards are in a weird place.

    Stoops is the only OU coach I've ever had the pleasure of hating. It's going to be weird hating someone new.

    Any rumors on the reason for the timing? Is it really as simple as just feeling like he's ready to move on? I know he said it's not health-related, but when the timing is so random it really does feel like something somewhat sudden must have influenced the decision.

    I was too young to truly hate Switzer. Gibbs, Schenllenberger and Blake didn't really move the needle for me. The last two especially, since OSU had a winning record versus them.

    But like you, hating Stoops was a pastime.

    Interested in how Riley will be. I understand he's highly thought of but I've never been a fan (at least at OSU and the like) of hiring head coaches without head coach experience. A place like OU is not a place to cut your teeth and work through the kinks of being a new head coach. And when you're 33 years old, there are going to be a lot of growing pains just based on relative little experience in the field.

    I just didn't care about OU (or Texas really) until the day I enrolled at Texas, in August of 2000.

    Bob Stoops was never a HC when OU hired him. Just food for thought.

    This feels so sudden. If it was planned, and his staff/team knew, I find it hard to believe that it didn't leak. That's a lot of people.

    Agreed. The timing of this is the strangest part.

    ^ Even IF all Stoops wants is a break/change of scenery (which I don't think is true), and even IF Brian Kelly is fired after 2017 (jury's out), Notre Dame would still fuck it up somehow. So no.

    I thought so, but it's definitely being discussed on ND message boards, let me assure you.

    Probably Tennessee boards too.

    Honestly no, no solid rumors. Some insiders have mentioned the heart disease, that he had an appointment with his doc in the past month but it wasn't emergent and he could've kept coaching for a few more years...but there's no one rumor that multiple people are validating.

    Others said part of a local foundation that pays him part of his salary demanded Mike Stoops be fired or lose that part of his salary...or that he wanted to retire after the Sugar Bowl but did OU a solid to stick around a few more months and wrap up a really great recruiting class for OU.

    His team didn't even know when the first tweet about it went out. After it hit the twittersphere OU announced he was going to have a meeting with the players that afternoon and then a press conference. And at the press conference he said he had just told the players 1-2 hours prior.

    Apparently a couple reporters had been informed a few days in advance and were supposed to stay quiet, but then one (Barry Tramel from The Oklahoman) finally posted it on twitter the day of before any official announcement from OU.

    Just a take from an OU board that brings up a point I hadn't thought about:
    Quote:
    Respectable time to leave for Stoops though: He leaves when his team will be preseason top 8. New facilities done. Assistant coach of the year in waiting. He could have easily said hey, let me try to win national title #8 and then I'll retire. You rarely see top coaches leave before they have a big year. They usually leave right when they know there is a talent drop, not Baker's senior year.
    It's more jarring b/c these coaches usually ride it out a few years too long. When's the last time a coach of his stature left with a cupboard that full?

    Also his 2nd game as a 33-year old HC will be a night game in Columbus against Urban Meyer's top-5 tOSU. Good luck bro.

    The timing initially made me think it was a best attempt to dodge NCAA problems or pressure from boosters because of the optics of some of the character issue guys they've had.

    Very excited for this year's upcoming season. Buckeyes young guys hopefully blossom around Senior year JT Barrett. Hoping to see a more fluid offense with Kevin Wilson taking the helm.

    Lots of interesting storylines to be had this season. How do Clemson and Dabo respond after winning last year and now in the post-Watson era? Does Jalen Hurts take the next step as a sophomore and take on more responsibility this year at Bama? Sam Darnold... Lane Kiffin FAU & Charlie Strong USF. Tom Herman's Texas Longhorns. Notre Dame & Brian Kelly.

    I can't wait.

    Edit: Oh, and Luke Fickell's Bearcats.

    Anyone see this? UCF kicker has a popular youtube channel and is fighting the NCAA to keep it going while he plays.

    http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-foo...91w01kp0bttys0


    Totally insane to me that they can prevent him from earning ad money on something that was already established and has nothing to do with football.

    Essentially, if you are a scholarship athlete, you aren't allowed to earn an income. Which is completely asinine.

    Although the rule still sucks, he's a rising junior and his first videos were posted a year ago, and they are almost all about football, so I'm not sure it's accurate to say it was already established and has nothing to do with football.

    didnt realize that.

    Still shouldnt matter if he isnt using the school logo or fields in videos.

    But I guess I can see where the grey area arises there. Still ridiculous nonetheless.

    ^Not sure if any of you at the other schools listed have tried this but seems like a pretty cool idea... basically set the whole tailgate up for you and you just show up and party. No clue the pricing but seems like it would be good for an alumni gathering or things like that. I like setting up and hosting my own tailgate but this could still be a good idea for certain situations. They just started a partnership with PSU.

    definitely a good idea in theory but the devil is in the details and their website is very light on those
