The end of any football is ripe with rumors and controversy (this is a non-BCS post).
Already begun is the speculation regarding which coach will move to or be fired from.
Today the rumors have started swirling that Mike Stoops is being considered for the Head Coach assignment at ‘Bama and Miami.
I’m all for getting your dues when you feel you’ve earned them. Not saying that Stoops hasn’t, but he still hasn’t gotten to a bowl game yet as a head coach. Sorry, that’s the bitterness talking.
I also appreciate someone who takes a position with the intent to take a job, and move the program to the highest level of success. Not use it as a stepping stone to other venues.
Lute Olsen in my opinion is the epitomy of this example. Having taken the team from subpar to a perrenial title contender. A legacy like that speaks volumes. Otherwise you’re just a Phil Jackson who takes the job with the best possibilities to win without actually having to coach.
