A&M (not) hiring Mark Stoops

[17Vols]

I’m confused, the article in the op says he’s staying at Kentucky

Sorry A&M. The suck continues.

I wouldn’t jump so fast to that conclusion. Stoops consistently hit the ceiling at Kentucky…it’s not an easy place to coach and win.

But, it certainly isn’t a given that he will win big at A&M, either.

This one will be interesting to watch.

Piss poor reporting out there it looks like

He changed his mind overnight and decided to stay on at KY.

Kentucky got what they deserved, more Stoops

Good hire. Stoops will have the resources and NIL money that he wants at A&M.

Swinging for the fences and hitting a double is okay I guess.

IMO, Stoops is still waiting on Ferentz to leave Iowa. He'll be the primary target for Iowa if that happens and he's still having success. But if he leaves UK and sucks, he'll never be considered.

Can't see aTm hiring Stoops in any scenario.

How easily we forget the very Jimmy Sexton feel of this time of year

Doubtful, Stoops agent does this every year so he can feel wanted in Lexington. He'll get another raise and continue on with 6-7 win seasons

Dan Mullin...?

Three reasons he's staying in Lexington.
9 million
8-4 is fine in cat town
TAM fans hated the idea.

 

[VolCalls]

He started telling people he had accepted before the TAMU board had formally approved the deal. There was major backlash from boosters and Ross Bjork (the AD) would’ve been vilified had they moved forward, so the offer was rescinded. It was not Stoops decision.

This has to be a joke, right? Tell me they never seriously considered him.

CBS report was saying he was a top candidate.

Texas A&M got Gundeyed.

Yep, I would imagine that Stoops' professed love for all things UK in his statement didn't mention the contract extension he certainly got.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

So isn’t Kentucky paying him 9 million currently? Assuming he really did entertain an offer from A&M, Kentucky will probably be giving him a raise. He’s already in the top 10 of highest paid coaches…

A&M needs to go after Lance Leipold

 

[TNHopeful505]

A&M needs to go after Lance Leipold

He won't leave Kansas. He's gonna retire there

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

A&M needs to go after Lance Leipold

I'd rather them go after Butch Jones.

 

[Hunerwadel]

He changed his mind overnight and decided to stay on at KY.

Someone told him they expect to win at aTm.

That's just crazy. haha

 

[midtnvol2]

Rightly or wrongly, there are probably a lot of grateful Wildcats tonight.

KY fans or happy to pay him whatever they are paying him for 6-8 win seasons. Why would he leave?

With the money he's making at UK with their expectations in football, would you make the jump to OSU?

Curiubut why is he waiting on Iowa?
