The guy who after ND fired him took an OC job?
It is all predicated on what Norm can do.
If he cannot go any more, we have an open spot on the staff.
Who do you bring in at this point who can coach at this level, is available, and would want to come?
Not saying I am for or against it, but Stoops would appear to fit all three criteria.
Basing his rep as a DC based on AZ's record is a bit uninformed. He was a highly regarded defensive coach before taking that position in the desert.

I would have agreed with that sentiment until last year when Norm went down. We saw terrible defensive teams that didn't look like what they did when Norm was there full time.
Maybe Kirk saw what happened and didn't like it? You never know. Big things like this usually have SOMETHING behind them. Does it? I don't know, but it sure is interesting.

Charlie Weis?
Dan McCarney?
I know they're not "position" coaches, but we're talking about a coordinator position, correct?

His last year at Oklahoma they gave up 15.3 points a game and 260 yards a game of total offense. Not bad, but we also have to remember the kind of talent Oklahoma gets.

charlie weis went directly from notre dame to be offensive coordinator for an nfl team. I was a bit different situation the within a few years he was a co head coach

And why is that?
I'm just pointing out that just because a guy was a head coach before, doesn't mean that he wouldn't take a position that is a step down, like a coordinator position. It happens all of the time.

the KC job was the only thing offered to FrontButt after he embarrassed himself in Suck Bent. Now he's O coord at FreeShoesU.

Exactly, but I do have to say I am intrigued by this rumor. Making lemonade if you ask me.

Is he having more health issues? I haven't heard anything about his health this year. I assumed he is healthier this year, than last because I hadn't heard anything.

It's interesting to compare the tone between this thread and the one on TOS. Over there, people really seem to be buying it. Over here, much more skeptical. I will say, the original rumor poster has confirmed several times that he is 100% certain this is going to happen.
Just an observation.

I was just looking for the anti-Iowa State joke that I thought you were going to follow up with.

he has been suffering from very very severe complications from diabetes. you can treat some of the symptoms like when he had his toes amputated but you can't get rid of the disease. in addition to circulation it also severely impacts the heart as well is nearly every other internal organ.
diabetes is a horrible horrible disease.
We know that our current coaching staff shows very little emotion, and for the most part, I'm good with that. I like the professionalism. However, if there is one aspect of the game where we could probably show a little more emotion, and someone to get them fired up, it's the D. Mike Stoops could do that. I'm still not sure how I feel about this though.
