No way bob stoops is the hire.

Supposedly a coach with a championship contacted lsu.

This is probably stoops putting his name put there.

If he is considering Stoops, Pederson has got to be in play big time.

Stoops has Pelini written all over it

So, let’s play.

Bob Stoops still lives in Oklahoma I believe.

The lsu plane just left Norman.

So, if I’m playing this game, maybe you’re giving a smoke screen to try and take the attention off of Riley. Or maybe they did talk to stoops. But this is probably all bull shite.

At least Tucker has coached a CFB game in the last 5 years.

uhhhh, so has Stoops

On January 2, 2017 Stoops won the Sugar Bowl with the Heisman winner Baker Mayfield at Qb. The Heisman winner for 2018 was also a Stoops player, Kyler Murray

The only Heisman winners since then have been Bama or LSU

No one else on the list has come close to Stoops success since 2017

I’m sorry, you are correct… It was 4 years and 10 months ago Bob Stoops coached his last game in CFB. I apologize for saying 5 years.

If you think Bob Stoops would be a good hire for LSU, I just don’t know what to say… Agree to disagree. It would be a tremendously awful hire.

Maybe he was being asked about Riley to vet him?

I hate you motherfrickers that make me defend Mel Tucker, but the guy has taken over consecutive shitty situations. His won/loss record after a Covid shortened year at Colorado and only his second at Michigan State is not relevant (and he's currently undefeated).

I'm not sure there's a coach alive that would have a better record through 2.5 seasons at those two spots (and I don't want Tucker, I just hate disingenuous bullshite)

Would make no sense to contact Bob Stoops after you make the announcement to fire O.

Stoops isn't Urban Meyer. He retired because he was the same age as his father when he DIED and didn't want to put his health at risk.

Bob Stoops - like "Bob Stoops" Bob Stoops? Hell, let's make Spurrier say no if we're going to get guys that removed from the game. Bobby Bowden has passed away, right? Terry is at UL-M. "Bob Stoops"?


For some reason, your mindset/opinion on Stoops is very common. Its kinda shown me that most LSU fans just want the big flashy name, type of hire….
Stoops and his offensive scheme/schemes are often given credit and referenced, when discussing the changed landscape of CFB that we have seen today... He is considered one of the OG’s behind the modernization of the game. His offenses were ahead of their time. Just think of Huepel’s offense at Tennessee, or Riley’s offense at OU, being ran and orchestrated by its originator (hate to use the word “creator” bc I’m sure Stoops adopted it from someone else along the way, and put his own twist on things) … what is everyone’s main complaint about OU? They don’t have a defense… well heck, that won’t be even close to an issue at LSU, with the way that La produces Defensive talent like it’s going out of style… Stoops could come to Baton Rouge, set up his offense And teach it to a HCIW or some predecessor of his choosing and teach them this formula and, wham bam thank you ma’am, we might could finally see some sustainable success.. even with Stoops age being 61; I still think that is only a minor concern. If he was able to come for 3/4 years, that would give him enough time to mentor and teach his philosophies to a HCIW, mirroring exactly how OU did it with him and Riley. Stoops turned a 33 year old guy with no prior head coaching experience, into a household name, showing us that this “experiment”/formula works.
And everyone that says he’s been removed from the game to long; are also vastly uninformed. Lincoln Riley, very publicly said last year that they had “hired Stoops out of retirement”. Saying that Stoops was an integral part of Riley’s coaching staff and talking about how Stoops was still mentoring and teaching Riley plenty of things… I also think, ((iirc)) that at one point when OU had popped a few positive Cov-19 test; that Riley had a contingency plan in place that called for Stoops to step up and into Riley’s role if/in case Riley ever had to miss a game.

Soo all our fans laughing and rolling their eyes when someone mentions Stoops as a name that should be considered; those “fans” most likely don’t know much about football or either haven’t done their diligent research to form a reliable/credible opinion… IMO

And you’re criticizing other fans for not knowing football ???

The entire premise of your post is based on an incorrect assumption about Stoops. I’ll give you a hint: defense

You sure you did yours?

Lmfao! This exact sentence, I mean verbatim, is a perfect example of someone not knowing what they are talking about And assuming bc Stoops was a DC and defensive minded guy, that he didn’t know offense or something. You jsut see and read DC and assume everything he did and stood for was defensive related and thAt is simply far from accurate.
After Stoops hired Mike Leach; the big 12 was never the same again. Him and Leach essentially showed everyone the blue print and foundation that all of these “modern” spread type offenses originated from…

Since you probably won’t or don’t believe me, and only look at things on the surface without checking deeper into them; here’s a LINK that will help…

I never said that.

You’re the one that claimed Bob Stoops was the “originator” of modernized offensive football in the CFB game with his offensive schemes. And in the exact same post criticized other fans’ knowledge of football and condescended anyone who might not want Stoops in 2021.

That said, his scheme or offensive/defensive philosophy isn’t what makes Bob Sroops an awful hire in 2021.

Bob Stoops would be an awful awful hire. Name me one…even One….example of a coach that sits out of college football for 3+ years coming back to have great success.

You said I didn’t know anything and then tried to be a smartass and give me a hint by saying “defense”.
I’ll admit your comment lacked any real information or opinions but what I got from you saying that thing about defense; was just bc he was defensive minded that he didn’t help shape offenses of cfb today.
And lmao I never said he was the sole single one for modernizing cfb; I said he is considered an OG and often talked about being one of the ones that have helped shape what we see today… heck I even put into parenthesis saying that I won’t use the word “originator”
