Program with a lot of money, star labeled talent and a desperate desire to win…. Stoops has a shot to get them to 9-10 wins, with bowl games consistently. Wonder how many of his current staff go with him?

Paying Jimbo $76M to go away, just to turn around and hire Stoops.

Good coach

Was one of very few I mentioned as wanting to come here

Just beat a top 10 team on the road tonight

Maybe our grandkids will witness a victory over a top 10 team on the road at the glacial pace we’re going. Maybe.

According to Iowa fans he's going there once Kirk retires.😂
Thank God the cuckeyes had a terrible AD back in 2016. Bob hinted he would accept the Iowa HC position if it were offered to him. But of course the school was ( and always will be) in love with mediocrity and will stay with King Crybaby until he dies.

Yikes...3 years tops.

1. Can't play the game
2. Never HC'ed at a FB school
3. Won't recruit better than what they had

This is what happens when you fire a dude AND some booster tells you that you can get the Lions coach and another says they can get Stoops...but they don't mean Bob...and another says they can get Dabo...

MSU beat them in their hire.

Weird hire

Stoops had a nice niche...football coach at a basketball school and all he had to do recruiting wise is send Uncle Vince north to Ohio

Idk what I was expecting A&M to get, but it wasn’t him. He did well with Kentucky, but his expectations just jumped exponentially. Like someone said…we’ll see.

I think it is a good hire. Mark is a good coach. I am not sure he will win enough to make the fans in College Station happy, but I think he will do better than most coaches who have been at the helm in Aggie land.

Looks like aTm realized they were going to have a Schiano/Tennessee type riot on their hands.

Stoops and Bjork are buddies. Bjork didn't realize the backlash of trying to hire Stoops in Aggieland. Train wreck and I love it.
