Mike Stoops heating up

[gocubs2118]

While I think there are better guys to be had. Hiring Stoops wouldn't be the end of the world.

Jon, are you guys going to talk about the coaching search tonight on State of the Nations?

I'm going to reserve judgment until we hire whoever and then we get from Pollard why he was his guy.

Do I think there are better, more proven prospects than Stoops? Yes. (See Gary Patterson)

While Stoops was under some fire this year, he does have some nice wins against some pretty good teams in past years in that conference. Remember, Mangino and Pinkel were all on rather warms seats until they started winning...

Another thing to remember - it's likely NOT Stoops - here is why...

In both coaching searches, it was believed by many (and actually reported by some) that we'd have a different MBB and FB coach than we ended up with.

Almost a guarantee that the first guy announced/rumored to be hired is NOT going to be it.

Good, then we get Turner Gill.

 

[gocubs2118]

because I, and many other ISU fans, hate Iowa. It wouldn't affect his coaching ability at all. I hope you didn't think I thought that for a second.

If he impressed at Arizona then I might be more on board. If we're going to make a mediocre hire I'd just prefer he not be a Hawk.

Fair enough. I just wanted to know. Sorry for getting a little snappy there.

I still think it will be Gill.

Boo this man:

Set aside the knocks for a couple of days on Jon Miller, and Marty & Miller.

 

[cyclonefan101]

would stoops bring excitement to the football program, answer NO!

 

[Landshark]

If Mike Stoops is who we hire, then I trust that Mike Stoops was the best coach we could get. Regardless of who we hire, we need to support him or this ship will never be turned around.

Of course I'll support him, but my leash would be shorter, I mean come on, Arizona actually suffered under him. They've been worse and minus USC, the Pac-10 SUCKS!!!

Why?

 

[gocubs2118]

Boo this man:

Why? What good would that do? Wether people like the hire or not we all have to support him. Booing him will get us no where.

Why? They aren't being any less crappy.

Based on what MT has told me, I think things are getting more than just 'on the surface'.

lord I hope not.

we have already had one mediocre former hawk assistant as our coach.

Yes, but hadn't heard the Stoops stuff heat up prior to our taping that.

I really didn't think that Stoops would be a realistic candidate, because a few years back when KF was flirting with the Jags, his name came up as possible replacements for Kirk if he would leave, and every insider I spoke with said there was no way Iowa would hire Stoops, due to some on campus baggage from back in the day, and just the loose cannon nature that still seemed in his nature.

But we all can change, and do with time

It's a snappy time. All good.

Fail.

Mike Stoops does nothing at all in a relatively weak (other than USC) PAC-10.

No thanks.
