Mark Stoops to Texas

[Wentwood]

Like it, feels like a Saban hire

Don’t get some people.  Great defensive mind.  Having a former head coach helping with the defense to add another set of eyes would be great.  He’s still earning $ from Kentucky so your get him for 1 or 2 years as a discount and then they move on to their next gig.

What if this we get really mad on boards, then start tweeting about the hire, and then have the plane bringing Stoops in turn around?

Wouldn’t that be crazy?

Can we trust this guy? He has Sooner written all over him.

DKR was a sooner.

Stoops' teams were always tough and played Georgia tough, despite the talent disparity. Sark is attacking his Georgia problem with everything he's got. Week 1 cannot get here soon enough. Wake me up when September starts!

Was just looking back at what Sark said about Stoops at his Monday presser before they played UK in October: 

"Mark Stoops, ton of ton of respect for Coach Stoops and the job that he's done, not only at Kentucky for 13 years, but his job as a defensive coordinator at Arizona with his brother Mike, I've gone against these guys for a long time. They've got a real style in how they want to play the game. They want to play great defense. They want to minimize the explosive plays. They want to run the football and then create explosives off of the run game. And they do a very good job of that. They've played very good defense all year. They run the football really well."

He’s had Georgia and lane kiffin offense figured out over the past few years 

He had us figured out too. Ignore the name, self scouting fellas.  Not to mention, like the Patterson hire years ago, this guy has been scouting, scheming, and playing not only SEC offenses, but defenses for the past 13 years.  And head coach and managerial experience.  Not a bad thing about this
