Marf Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Why is everyone so stoked on Stoops? His defenses have never seemed that great... Arizona got run over this year, and they haven't had a particularly good defensive year in a while. Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Has anyone talked about going after Fickell? Fickell is staying at tOSU as defensive coordinator. Stoops has interviewed for a job with Meyer, but doesnt say what position. I don't know if Stoops would want any other position than d coordinator....eh...we'll see Thats my feeling too. D-Coordinator or bust. I wouldnt think Meyer would want to have Co-DCs. Plus, Stoops ego wont let him Co-anything. I guess time will tell. Quote Link to comment

Arizona got run over this year, and they haven't had a particularly good defensive year in a while. Total Defense 2011 111th fired mid season 2010 33rd 2009 25th 2008 24th 2007 53rd 2006 49th 2005 83rd 2004 61st First season. 2003 109th He made strides in that defense, very similar to what Bo did his first year at Nebraska. They also didnt have a winning season until 2008. This year its just imploded on him. Quote Link to comment

Nexus Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Mike Stoops earned his stripes as DC at Oklahoma which is why he was a hot commodity at the time when Arizona hired him. Total Defense rankings @ Oklahoma as DC: 2000: 8th (National Champions) 2001: 4th 2002: 10th 2003: 3rd Quote Link to comment
miamihrrcns2001 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 yeah, when stoops has had top their athletes, he has had top their defenses. He never really got the athletes he needed at Arizona. We have them at Nebraska Quote Link to comment
Conga3 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't really want a DC that has one foot out the door for a HC position. If we can swing it, I'd like to get someone who wouldn't dare leave NU or Bo for a HC position. Need to find someone who can hold a fictitious title and wave their hands around on the sideline, draw a good salary, not get in Bo's way, and never want things to change. Hey, I'll be our DC!

Coqui Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Has anyone talked about going after Fickell? If he was going to leave he'd probably go to Akron as a HC and then come back later. Quote Link to comment

We tried that with Carl. Im sorry I dont want someone to come here just to bow down to Bo, not speak up, or have any say in the gameplan and worst of all getting paid more than the other assistant coaches. If this program wants to take the next step, it needs to go after a big fish and if that guys leaves withing 5 years, so be it. Quote Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I believe too expensive. Sports Animal radio in Oklahoma reported Mike Stoops was offered almost $1M salary per year...... Didn't mention full DC or co-DC or whatever. Right now, Carl got measly $375,000. Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Will we so more diamond formation if Stoops come here? Quote Link to comment

Yep. If they don't want to move up to a HC or aren't good enough to be considered for HC positions, that would mean they're doing a p!ss poor job of being our DC. The days of really good long term coordinators are a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Why not make it Bo's job, many coaches do this. Quote Link to comment
