really, like I'm the only one pissed, are you ignoring everyone else? sure, whatever, I don't post often so it's important to you to point that out. I usually don't make a big deal of losses and so don't usually post about them, but this one felt worse, so yeah, I'm getting some anger off my chest. nice to have met you.
kids go to iowa to commit "atheletic suicide" even though iowa is one of the top (especially non blue blood) schools for putting guys in the nfl??
Bob Stoops at Nebraska? Not in this world or any other. I think Kirk coaches until he is 70. Not that far away actually.
Because of the great job he did at Arkansas? Or because of the stellar performance on Saturday in the loss to mighty Rutgers?
Maybe because in his time at Wisconsin he lead the Badgers to 3 Rose Bowls and perennial winner of his B1G division How did that compare to Iowa?
Mark hasn't exactly torn it up at Kentucky. He's 3 games over .500 in 9 years... was 1 game under .500 prior to this season. Not so sure he's the answer
Go take a look at what Mark inherited before he took that dismal program over.
Try getting off your high horse when stating your viewpoint. I'm aware that building a football program at Kentucky is no small task.
I stated facts to your post dude. You clearly didn't know what Stoops had to do there otherwise you would have mentioned something about it. Stop being so sensitive. At least now you've been enlightened.
Because, at the very least, with Bret B you know he's going to adapt and try everything he can to win.
Stoops would have taken the Iowa job if offered.
If you are posting get your facts right instead of throwing out bullshit like you know.
Fact-OU had offered Bob the job before his interview with Iowa. Bob told OU he was going to interview with Iowa before he was going to make a decision. At the Iowa interview, Bob told the committee that OU had offered him and wanted to know when Iowa would make their decision because if Iowa didn't want him, he wasn't going to risk losing the OU job waiting on Iowa. As we all know, Iowa was noncommittal and told him the decision was going through a committee, and they didn't know how long that would take. To which Bob left the interview and immediately called OU and took the job.
Compliments to you that you have the story 100% accurate in December 1998 when the committee was deciding on a new coach and how the Stoops scenario shook down.
Don't mistake my passion in my replies for being snarky. I wasn't intending that in my first reply to your post and in my second reply to you I said what I did after your personal shot at me.
Cool. All good, man. Wasn't intending to take a shot at you, I'm just a little more skeptical on MS. He may indeed be the ideal candidate if KFz steps down in the next few years. Sure beats the hell out of BFz.
Well, he already came out of retirement once to coach an XFL team two years ago, so I would hope he'd consider Iowa.
Bullshit answer. Is one of them with John Streif (first person he called when his interview with Iowa was finished)? Is one of them with Mike Haight or Lon Olejnicazk? But here's the biggest one of all: How about Mike Stoops huh? And after that, what about the second guy he called after Streif-- Dan Gable asking him why he wasn't offered the job and reminded Gabe how much he wanted it. They'd laugh at you.
See frydaze’s post. You are full of b.s., as the actual facts indicate.
I just talked to two on your list in the last 20 minutes and sent them a screenshot of your post... Are you sure that your quoting them? Have to tell you that they don't quite see it the way your telling it. I helped put together a fundraiser where Stoops and Ferentz we're both there for a few years and had many conversations with them both in the room. Neither told the story quite like you are and two people you just quoted aren't quite sure of your facts.
