BO!! ASK HIM!!!

This is a perfect example of how rumors get started. You've slightly distorted what the information actually is. The next person hears what they want to hear and distorts it even further. And so on and so forth.

If only Bo would ask.

Stoops would be my first choice. I'm not a fan of promoting Pap.

 

Agreed. I don't think Bo would want to deal with inexperienced playcalling on both sides of the field. The only knock on Stoops is he is another one of Bo's friends. I would really like to see him go out and interview some coordinators from other programs.

Stoops is proven and qualified, however. I think the 'Bo hiring his buddies' thing is only a problem when it's a problem. It's natural to want to work with someone you know and trust. The issue comes when you constantly gamble by putting underqualified people in positions of massive responsibility. The offensive (and defensive) shakeup last year was a symphony of timidity. Just once I'd like to see Bo go out and hit a homerun. Bring in a known, respected, successful, seasoned coordinator who will bring a spark and a new set of eyes to the program.

 

Pap may be a great coach. He may one day make a great coordinator. But I'm sorry, for most of his career at Nebraska, he coached D-ends. Not even the entire line. This season the line was soggy toast. Why is Nebraska all of the sudden a place where any teenage coordinator can learn his trade? If a guy's with the program a decade and successful, sure, promote him. IMO Pap ain't earned it yet. The opportunity is there for the taking to knock one out of the park. I hope Bo doesn't pussyfoot around on this one.

Couldn't agree more. The B1G is now filled with very senior coaching staffs that Nebraska is going to not only compete with on the field but also on the recruiting trail. "On the job training" is not going to be acceptable for both the OC and DC positions. This is Bo's chance to step up his game as a head coach.

Friend or not, Stoops fits this and would be a great addition to the staff.

BO!! OFFER HIM THE JOB!!!!!

Or the next person clicks on the link and reads the article for themself. Nah! You're right. Although, Bo will have to eventually ask him if he wants the job after he offers it to him so in the end......but I fixed it for ya!

[ladyhawke]

If only Bo would ask.

If only Bo would offer and then ask (Dude did bring up a good point )

Anyone listen to Sports Nightly?

[It'sNotAFakeID]

A guy was on Schick and Nick yesterday talking about how just promoting from within wouldn't be a good solution. I really think the best solution is to hire someone, a decent name, someone like Mark Stoops to be our D-coordinator. Either that or just let Bo do it.

This was an interesting article from an Oklahoma writer. Some have said that Stoops will go back to OU-this guy doesn't think so and tells why:

(I didn't know that Arkansas was looking for a new DC? I guess they are as of Tuesday!)

Arkansas already hired a new DC. Randy Shannon.

Why hasn't Stoop s been announced anywhere? Because of this I think we're still in the running.

not sure there's that many open positions available at the moment. if in fact Stoops is wanting to test the waters...a large number of openings are yet to be announced.
