NFL: Bob Stoops to the XFL(???!!!)

[jbindm]

SIAP - I did a quick check and I didn't see anything. Bob Stoops is returning to coaching, just not where anyone expected.

Stoops will be the new HC/GM for the new Dallas XFL franchise. They must be paying him a **** load of money.

I heard rumblings about this a few weeks ago. It's a pretty good fit for Stoops. He doesn't have to spend all year recruiting, the season is short and he still gets to do something he loves. Plus, I assume he'll still get a pretty good paycheck out of the deal. And, if it doesn't work, oh well.

Also, it's a smart move by McMahon to add credibility to his league.

How much credibility does this league need?

Plus, it's season is opposite of the college football season so he can still be completely free for it and for watching his son play.
