Because Butch has a far superior resume'?

Stoops has trashed talked the SEC ever since he's been at Oklahoma. I honestly don't see him coming to coach here even if he was offered. The timing to retire in June is just odd and there might be something we don't really know whether it's good or bad. It's normal to be concerned on why Stoops who's a Top 10 College Coach of all time, chose to retire out of the blue.

KB likely this is where you and I will likely never come to an agreement like your Chubb fixation. Your numbers speak for themselves, 1 NC in 16 years. Nobody at UT, Bama, LSU, or UF will be allowed to horse axx around for 16 years with one NC on their resume I submit.

Yep Remy my friend, if you're gonna tell me that Bob Stoops, who's played in 4 national title games, won a national title, won 12 conference championships, won 190 games in 18 seasons, and won 80% of his games over 18 years, has been languishing in mediocrity......yeah, we're definitely gonna have a friendly disagreement. If someone, anyone could guarantee me a coach could, over the next 18 seasons, replicate for Tennessee exactly what Stoops has done for Oklahoma the last 18 seasons, I'd take it in a heartbeat and I feel 100% confident that 99% of all Vol fans would as well. Anyone who wouldn't has lost his mind imho.

.....other than being an AD in same conference that Stoops coached in. Not that we are looking for a new Head coach. I understand that AD's always have a list of possible replacement coaches in their back pocket.....just in case.

National Championships are a secondary goal here, and pretty much anywhere. The goal here is, and always has been, competing for the SEC Championship, which now starts with winning your division. Playoff, and Natty discussion comes after achieving those goals.

Nobody, with any football sense, starts the year with that expectation. Nobody lays that expectation on Butch as a requirement for continued employment. Please don't suggest anything like that. It's always the SEC....because if you get there you're in the discussion.

As such Stoops resume is more than adequate. I don't think it'll happen, but he'd be one of the most qualified applicants we could possibly interview if the opportunity arose.

100% agree. Spot on Boro. The national title isn't the goal, it's gravy, it's the cherry on top. I have zero expectation that we're gonna win a national title and don't "demand" that as a fan. I only ask that we play smart, disciplined football with great effort and in doing so, win a bad SECe division so we can make a SECCG appearance where we have a shot to win the SEC. I don't even expect an SEC title at this point....just win the division, just play in the championship game and let the chips fall where they may.

As far as Stoops goes, he's a first ballot HOF coach and if he (or any other coach for that matter) could do for Tennessee what he did for Oklahoma, he'd have statues in and a streets named after him in Knoxville.

Impossible KB....all of us in the "Fahr-Butch" Nega-Vol contingent expect National Championships every year. And ponies. Everybody knows that.

Totally agree. Coaches don't retire in June, it's weird.

Really weird. Either he is lying about it having nothing to do with health (sick wife?), or the Sooners are doing damage control is the only things that make sense. Whatever it is, they are trying to keep it quiet in the information age.

Stoops won 10 BIG 12 titles in 18 years.

If we had a coach duplicate the same feat, he'd have a lifetime contract, a statue erected outside the stadium, Cumberland Blvd would be renamed in his honor, and Neyland stadium possibly renamed as well.

But Stoops was horse-azzing around? :salute:

Neyland Stadium renamed??? Doberman, how long were you drinking before you posted this? Good lord....

Or he realized he's done and doesn't want to end the way Spurrier did.

I would need to know more details about his retirement, but if Butch tanks this year, he's the first guy I call if I'm Currie.

He "languishes" and "OU meanders in mediocrity"??

Since he won the national championship in 2000, Stoops was 170-43, with 10 top 10 finishes in 16 seasons. He was also in the national title game in 2003 and in the College Football Playoff two seasons ago. How was that "languishing " and "meandering in mediocrity"? I don't get it.

I read yesterday that Stoops lost 9 true home games while at OU. 9 home games from 1999 to present day. That is an insane statistic. Good to be a season ticket holder there. Now if schools would just do away with garbage neutral site games like the red river rivalry and the Florida/Georgia game that would create a lot more excitement imho.

Either Stoops was slimy in recruiting kids for his replacement or he was slimy in recruiting JUST IN CASE he stayed. JMO but it includes him not just suddenly having this life revelation.

C'mon I haven't read enough conspiracy theories here yet. Maybe he resigned to become Trumps next FBI chief or run for governor of Oklahoma or move BACK TO Florida to be an anti
SEC sportswriter. Let's get a few more other than 'sick wife' or upcoming recruiting issues.

Well he would be an upgrade whether you want to admit it or not.

Most of us would like to see more details on why he decided to retire in June.. It's just such an odd timing that you have to be somewhat concerned. If it's nothing serious, I'd be up for it. If it involves the NCAA or some sort of illegal sanction, I don't want our AD to take the chance on him.

Of course winning is important here but we don't need the NCAA hanging over our heads again. I want a coach that'll give us the best chance to win but also not hurt our University's reputation.
