re: FootballScoop.com Auburn people have met with former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops

Record or not. Stoops is even older than when he retired...for reasons that aren't entirely clear. Health? Wanting more family time? The reasons were amorphous, regardless.

I understand Urban Meyer has done well at OSU coming out of retirement, but how often does that happen?

Auburn needs to be thinking 5-7 years down the road. If they hire Bob Stoops -- and I hope they don't -- they damn sure don't need to give him a Jimbo-type contract that will be hard to get out of.
