What Stoops has done has been great overall. But their O-line work since the longtime position coach died has been somewhat lacking.

RUSHING

Too bad the O-Line is BAD

A&M was very close to having Kentucky's coach...

Yeah, I really didn't care for the hire. Lots of people here apparently felt the same way.

Yeah it seemed wildly unpopular on Texags.

I don't know that Elko is any better but personality fit and culture are important, and Elko was already a known commodity in College Station from that perspective.

Was there a popular name who also wanted the job?

Stoops seems like a good coach ... for Kentucky.

They might just have lost too many players in their lines, USCe seemed to push them around a lot.

Oh Geez. There’s always a popular name, but the question is are they legit ?

Plus, we just fired a popular name. So there was kind of a backlash on hiring a big time name again, not to mention the money. There’s whispers that the unnamed Big Whigs ( no proof whatsoever ) already ponied up Jimbo’s cash and that is taken care of.
Who knows. But we’ve hired all sorts of coaches in the last 20 years, only to figure out that we’re pretty much the same team and program we fired RC Slocum for. Hell, let’s be real, RC would’ve never lost more than 6 games a season.

That search seemed really muted. There weren’t even any fantasy names thrown around.

I don’t even remember really. Just that there were legit reports of it being Mark Stoops, and then major backlash and crawfishing.
To be honest I felt like Jimbo was still our best choice. We made such a huge bet on him, why bail ?

Elko seems like a solid coach. The kind that wins 7-9 games per year, comes close to winning 11-12 games once every 6-8 years, but nothing special.

We will soon see. I often state that whatever a coach will be, he will be by year 3.

My wife is taking the kids to Cedar Point and there is no Buckeye game. Very sad. Send thoughts and prayers.
