Introducing our new AD.....

Stoops must have known something about Barta's soon-to-be departure and thus quit as Okie head coach. Conspiracy theory, I'm calling it.
 
Hmm Stoops being KFs boss... That'd be an interesting dynamic. Albeit wouldn't be for too long more than likely but it'd be interesting
 
Okay, so Stoops retires less than 3 months before the football season kicks off? Lot of OU fans think something bad is coming to the Sooner program.
 
I'll add to the Stoops to Iowa AD conspiracy as long as we are making rumors up.......Stoops caught wind that OU was soon headed to the SEC, and after all of the SEC bashing that he has done...bailed with a soft landing ahead as the new Iowa AD. That's my rumor and I am sticking to it. See, you can get the good stuff on the non-paying side of this site.
 
Sure, after being sued and labeled insensitive to the LBGTQXY community, you want to put a 56 year old white male with little to no sensitivity training and a short fuse in the AD role. (No slight, they are always adding to that gay/lesbian acronym).

I could just hear Stoops now, "I could give a rat's ass if she's your girlfriend, now get your gay ass out of my office and take your tool belt with you." It would be an interesting court hearing though.

eeehhhhh, don't let that Youngstown persona fool you. Where Mike Stoops and Bo Pellini may have not quite figured it out I think Bobby has. You could put a strong female assistant AD with him and make it work.
 
Question 1. Why such poor timing? The only logical answer is something stinks in Norman. Maybe not, but odds are high that something is going on.
2. Has Stoops ever even hinted that he'd like to be an AD someday? No idea on that one.
3. If the answer to #1 is that Stoops isn't in any trouble and he's just ready for the next chapter in his life
and answer to #2 is Yes ...then I have to ask why do we rush to assume he'd be a great AD? Just because he's a former Hawkeye??
 
Because in my humble opinion he WOULD be good at it. I think he could schmooze for tons of cash. The OU donors are a tougher crowd than Iowa's, and most LOVED him. He hired and fired many assistants, showed loyalty and also showed balls to remove many close to him when needed. He remained close to the top for most of his coaching career at a powerhouse with a tough (but loyal) fan base and a tough history. He won, a ton. So he has a history to point towards as an example of how it can be done. He dealt with a changing world by standing with players against hate crimes, and also probably learned from not flat out kicking the kid off campus for knocking that girl out.

With all that being said, he ain't coming to Iowa to be Athletic Director, but it's fun to discuss during the doldrums of June in college football world.

If he did "retire" after assessing the Iowa AD situation because he wants the job then it shows remarkable strategic thinking along w/ motivation and drive. How could the U say no?

How about we meet in the middle and get his brother who used to be a head coach but was too emotional on the sidelines and was always switching from laughter to tears of joy to total rageface as the game went by?

I see what you are saying......but lets just take it a step further and do the whole Youngstown connection. Bobby is the AD, Mark is the HC , Mike is the associate HC , Bo Pellini is the DC and Ray Mancini is the S&C coach. I feel you dawg, let's just take it to a whole new level.:)
