Interesting candidate that was not on any of the projections that I have read. http://www.news9.com/story/27753592/breaking-ous-mike-stoops-to-interview-with-les-miles-lsu
I don't really pay much attention to the Stoops family. What makes him a bad hire? The bio on the OU site doesn't look too shabby although I realize the source and there are always little pieces of information that get left out. OU Bio: http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=31000&ATCLID=208803400. Seems like there are a few stronger names out there like Pendegrast and Steele. I know Pendegrast has been getting press as the most likely replacement. His background looks pretty damn solid. So who is the best candidate?
Stoops is loads better than Steele and Stoops is a good DC. Not sure why people can't look past their last game. The same metrics applied to Chavis and well, guess he sucks too!
I'd rather the former USC DC. Ou all too often comes up small. I also can't see him leaving his brother for a lateral job.
