PERFECT example of Miller stirring the pot. Stoops wasn't good enough for EIU, but would be for ISU. Thanks for all your valuable input Miller. (insert sarcasm pirate here).

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.
Very good points...couple that with "instant-ratings" Marty and there you have it.
I'M just not a fan of stoops' coaching style, just not fun, i guess its just my opinion and Im sure we can do worse so he wouldnt be THAT bad
-Try watching this video without laughing, make sure the volume is up......Im not sold on stoops yet

I wouldnt put it past them for just stirring things up...its noon locals come back on a 2pm...Joan's show up first.
Just saying....dont believe the hype!
i could warm up to him, I will take whoever at this point. Could it get any worse?
I really don’t care who we hire as long as they run a clean program and win football games but I think the rep on Stoops is that he’s a jerk plus he’s a former Hawkeye; and I’m not overly impressed with his body of work at Arizona. I maybe wrong but I don’t think this hire would gain a lot of excitement among the fan base.
He couldn't win at freaking Arizona with a lot of built in positives.....he is not going to win at ISU.
it would be a big 'no thank you' on my ticket renewal

This is dead on. The guy doesnt have anything they felt beat to the punch with the Fulmer deal this morning and all he does is spit out some garbage like the Arizona coach coming to ISU. Seriously, Mike Stoops is NOT a good coach. Let me say it again, he sucks. The PAC-10 was weak this year, they should have won a lot more games, and he should have had 4-5 star recruits non-stop into that place if he was a good coach. I dont care if they have a basketball program, he was hired to make it a football school as well. I just dont think he is the right fit.

Each one of those guys will take $2mil or more to get it done. We will see what Pollard has up his sleeve. I gotta say though, it is exciting if all these coaches are interested in coming here.
Guess I don't see it. Stoops barely survived this year in the Pac-10 and that conference was pretty bad. Just looking at their commit list, it isn't all that much better than ours and that place is warm year round and right next to California. I'd rather have Loney than Stoops.
You guys that are knocking the "weak" Pac 10 are making it sound like the Big XII North is good.
EPIC FAIL
Without USC there would be no Pac 10. They would be a slightly stronger version of the Big 10/11. That is weak stuff right there.
I REALLY hope this is the case. Mark is the only somewhat likeable one of the group. This would be Chizik all over again, first of all, people will be laughing at us, not only for losing a coach but hiring another failing head coach. Mike Stoops is keeps everyone at arms length, just like Chizik, doesn't work with the High Schools, like Chizik, doesn't do community events, like Chizik... This better be the smokescreen...
Mike Stoops is 23-33 in 5 seasons at Arizona. 16-25 in the Pac 10.
His only winning season is this year, at 7-5 and 5-4.
We need a WINNER, not an ugly little sister.
