Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones reported Friday that Stoops had been contacted by a 3rd party about the head coaching vacancy in Baton Rouge.

“I think there are—and I speak about this not with complete knowledge but some knowledge—there are probably 7 jobs or less that I think Mark Stoops would seriously consider leaving (Kentucky) for. I think LSU is one of those 7.”

Jones added that LSU is also considering Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien and that he might be preferred over Stoops, but “if LSU were to decide Stoops was their guy, it will be worth sweating about.”
