dude knows football. He can recruit really strong OL. He clearly knows how to coach defense. What’s not to like?

Think they could do worse assuming he has a Texas centric staff and a good OC hire. I didn’t hate him being linked with our job a couple years ago but it def would’ve been uninspiring as it kinda is now

You see his OL recruiting? His defense?

See him win a rivalry game today against a top 10 opponent on the road?

I get that it’s not splashy.
But I don’t care bc I’m not in my 20s.
I care more about coaching acumen.

Upgrade over Jimbo. Defenses will be nasty. On offense he will be dependent on his OC. A&M wants a competent coach.

A&M with NIL knows they’ll sign dudes. They want a competent head coach to be able to run everything.

I have been aware of UK football for the past several years.

I like their attitude and think it will translate.

Not a sexy hire. Rather a hire with substance. Reminds me of Kirby had Kirby not been hired at a sleeping giant.

No. He’s a solid hire. He’s not the type of coach that can get A&M over the hump. It’ll be more of the same 8-9 win seasons


If that’s all he can be he’s not a solid hire.

He built them up but they also peaked a couple years ago and went backwards the last two seasons.

What kind of idiot would take a pay cut for a more difficult job?


define "more difficult"

sure the schedule is harder in the old SEC west, but that is changing going forward (and we're not sure how that will shake out).

but A&M will be willing to do anything Stoops wants/needs to get them over the hump.
up to and including blowjobs from the cheerleaders to all football players.


at Kentucky, less they don't even know there is a football field on campus.

Coaching acumen gets you a sub-.500 record in 10 years of coaching in the weaker division?

Stoops found some diamonds in the rough and developed guys. When he had talent at Miami and FSU his defenses were nasty. He will do well at TAMU.
