re: Adam Schefter reporting Stoops to ND

Stoops does NOT strike me as an elite coach. He seems to struggle with the same things that ND has struggled with in recent years.

Wow, Oklahoma was at the bottom of the Big 12 when Stoops took over you do realize that?

With all due respect to Kelley he is a great coach but he has never won a BCS game or been in a remotely tough conference. ND needs some defense of help and just saying Stoops has been producing some great defenses for the past 2 decades. Since when did Stoops become a bad coach?

And now Stoops doesn't exactly have them rolling over the Big 12 every year, does he? He's good for 8-10 wins and nothing in a big bowl game. That doesn't cut it for Notre Dame.

Would these records cut it at ND:

13-0
11-2
12-2
12-2
12-1
8-4
11-3
11-3
12-2

Those were his records this decade before this season...

Yes, but losing to SC 55-19 wouldn't. I tend to agree with other posters on this. Stoops is a good solid coach in a Jim Tressel sort of way. He's not someone I'd expect to be at the top of ND's list.

Chicken, with all due respect, how many bowl wins or conference and national titles before this season?

---

He's 4-6 in bowl games(5 of the losses were in BCS games), has 1 National Championship, and 6 Big 12 titles. Also has 8 10+ win seasons in 11 years, and 7 top 10 finishes. Besides this year, the other 2 seasons where he finished outside the top 10, he finished #11 and #22.




Anybody who doesn't believe Bob Stoops is an elite coach, is quite simply fricking stupid. Only Meyer, Carroll, and maybe Tressell have the resumes to match.




Also, I still like Miles and am proud of his 4-0 record in bowls, but bowl-record is a terrible way to judge a coach. Unless it's for the NC, those games are not as meaningful as most conference games. Winning the conference and losing the Fiesta Bowl >>>> finishing 3rd in conference and dominating the Peach.

no shite eh? don't tell a ranter that, though.

Well lets see yes he has lost a lot of BCS bowl games in a row but that doesn't make him a bad coach or an average coach. His teams have lost to better teams outside of Boise State. But how about lets look at the numbers shall we?

Comming into this his 11th season as Head Coach at OU his record is 109 wins & 24 losses. Thats a winning % of 82%. He has won one National Championship and has taken his team to 3 other National Title games. So he has had his team in the National Championship game 4 TIMES. Thats more than anyone else thats in coaching right now. He has won six Big 12 titles and taken his teams to 7 BCS Bowls since 2000. I'm sorry but it's hard to find a better resume for anyone coaching in Division 1 right now. He is by far one of the best coaches in America. Just facts.

hell after the fact i don't even know if OU was better than BSU with a WR playing QB and a not clos to 100% AD

pete carroll if you're looking at consistency of success

urban meyer in terms of titles

quote:

1 national title (00)
3 other title appearances (03, 04, 08)
6 big 12 titles

stoops owns his conference

People always think the grass is greener with someone else. Mac is a huge name all of a sudden, but until lately he didn't have Stoops' resume, but he's the greatest coach all of a sudden.

people here a 100% sure he isn't going to ND. who knows, but he would be a good choice for them.
