Stoops to FSU feels like Richt to Miami

...sounds good on paper but does the coach really want to do it anymore? Stoops left OU in good standing but didnt want to coach football until he died (if I remember right, he said something like that).
Much like Richt, who only stayed 3 seasons at Miami... you wonder how much Stoops has left in the tank?

Totally agree. He'll give FSU credibility, but Dabo owns him and FSU.

Go ahead and hire Stoops. I love when our opponents go for short term 'quick' fixes and find themselves right back where they started a 3 or 4 short years ago.

You could be right, but Richt was shown the door, while Stoops left on his own and with a winner reputation in big games.

I see your point, but if you research his time at OK

you'll see that he was good the first 4 years and basically dead in the water after his brother Mike left. If they reunite at FSU it might be good.
No question he's a reputable coach and highly respected. But we have Dabo and staff, and Stoops is 59 years old. Is this going to be another retirement plan ala Holtz and Spurrier at SCar, or is he going to have the fire to turn around the most afflicted program in the nation? Could go either way.

I don't know if they will hire Stoops or not, but I have been to several Oklahoma/Nebraska game when Adrian Peterson was playing. From the time Oklahoma came onto the field for warn-ups until the end of the game his team was very organized and disciplined. He might be what FSU needs to create a better culture there ..... plus I think he pretty much despises the SEC.

My main reservation about Stoops is also whether he has enough left in the tank.
Other than that, this would be a grand slam home run for FSU and should shut up folks who wanted Taggart to finish the year.
Even if he's only there 3-4 years, Stoops will leave the program in very good shape long term.

Does Stoops realize that he has to get curb-stomped by CLEMSON every year if he takes that job? No wonder it requires such a huge buyout. Nobody in their right mind wants to look so pathetic at coaching. It might end their career at this level, so the buyout needs to be HUGE.
