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

Stoops is the best possible hire we could make sans Dabo or Meyer. He might not ever bring a natty, while Sabans here at least but he gives us a legitimate chance the second he steps on campus. Like someone said, if it could be done in a timely manner recruiting wouldn't suffer and we probably land Haselwood to boot. The worst I could see Stoops doing is consistently winning 10 games and when have we ever done that? He would retire from Auburn leaving the program at it's highest prestige since, if not higher, than when Pat Dye was the coach and he would leave us poised to make another great hire. Stoops is exactly what Auburn needs to actually become a powerhouse and not a flash in the pan once or twice a decade team we're so accustomed to. The ones of you acting like Stoops isn't good enough are just absolute idiots. 10 years 75 mil guaranteed is scary and I would love for the deal to be less than that, but that risk feels a whole lot better than hiring Neal Brown or Bill Clark. Stoops would come in and immediately be the second best coach in the conference and he will perform much closer to that contract than Jimbo ever will.


Granted it's all speculation, I would be shocked and elated if we can Gus and hire Stoops.

Y'all act like Stoops won Super Bowls.

I really don't get how any Auburn fan could criticize anything Stoops has done. 10+ wins 13 times. 10 conference championships. He's won more by himself than Auburn has as a program lmao. Some of y'all need to get real.
