Would Stoops crank his Boomer Scooter and heads to Dallas?

If Zimmer leaves don't be surprised if Stoops is our new Defensive Coord.....

Defense is Stoops expertise and Jerry Jones loves the guy......

Can any of you Zoners see this as a possibility?

I don't follow OU at all, but I thought Stoops was an offensive minded coach.

Yeah, no way would he leave his head coaching gig to get yelled at by Parcells.

Which Stoops ?
The current HC of Arizona (old OU DC) ?
Or the current head coach of OU ?

The only way I see Bob Stoops coming to Dallas to be DC is if Jerry tells him he will be head coach after Bill leaves, the same deal that is probably in place for Greg Williams in Washington.

It's a long shot.

I don't see him going from a HC gig to an OC gig....regardless of the move up to the NFL.

Both are defensive minded coaches and I think Bob would be given an opportunity before Mike would. As an OU fan, I hope he stays until after Bomar, Peterson, and the freshman receivers are gone. I am selfish I know!

I would love this move! I would love to see Bob Stoops come over as the new Dallas Cowboys head coach.

I have been saying thinking this and even mentioning it for the past year. :star:

Bob Stoops is offensive minded and HIGHLY OVERATED. His brother, Mike is at U OF A and is a great D coach.

Wasn't Stoops the defensive coordinator under Spurrier at Florida? And he also was the D-coordinator at Kansas State under Bill Snyder. So he is primarily a defensive guy... Mike Leach, Mangino, and Chuck Long have been his offensive minds at OU.

But... There's some concern that his brother Mike is the real defensive guru, right?

I used to think Stoops might be the next Jimmy Johnson, but I have some real doubts after the way his team played when his brother left. I know his talent wasn't the same, obviously... But still, I'd be scared if he were named our HC. Although I would feel a lot better if he could bring his brother and some other of his old assistants with him.

At least he's young and has enough energy that I think he'd work hard to adjust and correct any early rookie NFL coaching mistakes he might make... But would we want to go through those growing pains?

Nice try, but Bob is NOT offensive minded, he has been a defensive guy since the beginning. Same with Mike. Get your facts straight. :rolleyes:

I agree with you ONLY if Big Bill leaves......I hate to just throw away 3 years worth of work.....I do see big improvement and do not believe we are that far off from our Super Bowl goal.......otherwise, if BP leaves we kinda start over with a new philosophy.

Crawl back under your cactus Jack. You lost touch w/ the program upon your graduation (remember how you remind everyone you are a grad of OU James?). You never looked back. Its obvious.

Maybe next year...pull for them Cats. We wont miss ya. =)

Now saying that.

Stoops will not be leaving OU anytime soon. He is the highest paid coach in the NCAA right now. Even w/ the Colorado coach coming in. Stoops will be making over 4mill this year alone.
