What will this guy bring to the table that's an upgrade over previous coaches?

Is he hungry?

Sorry, he's 35-55 in the SEC East and has never won anything as a HC. His ceiling is mediocre
A&M, “Give Us Room!"

Winning 10 games at Kentucky is a miracle, and almost impossible and therefore giving Jimbo money to the guy that did it is a good idea. Thats the optimistic take.

Stoops is an even bigger loser than Fisher.

If it turns out to be true, this is so bad that it's almost not even believable.

It worked out OK for 5 years the last time we stole a coach from Kentucky, but then he left.

He probably has a southern accent?

It didn't work out for us. Why do people keep bringing this up?

I honestly can't think of anything remotely positive outside of: he isn't the absolute worst coach in the world. Even if he doesn't have far to fall, there are some worse than him

The glass half full view is this talk of hiring Stoops is a distraction or a big trial balloon...and it deflates very fast for the sake of our beloved school!

Here's the best I can do and what I will keep telling myself as I try to sleep tonight:

He is a decent defensive coach, better than Durkin for sure. He's shown that he can recruit alright and hopefully he will be keep eRob as DC with Stoops focusing on coaching defense. Offensive coachin staff hires will be critical. Literally anyone is upgrade over our current OL coach

Stoops has had 10 players drafted in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round in the past 5 years...from Kentucky

that blows away Jimbo's draft performance and then some.

hopefully that stat would help recruiting

His brother, Bob used to be a heck of a good football coach, and...well, yeah, that's about it. I'm going to bed now.

We might make the right hire after he fails in 3-5 years

He will field a competent, well coached defense?

If he hires his brother Mike I think I will be broken. Mike is an awful coach and if that man is our DC I think I'm done lol.

Didn't Mike beat up a Texags reporter one time. Should be awkward.

Similar to Elko but with more experience. Has had more success than anyone else has at what is a clear basketball school. Several draft picks from UK during his tenure.

He should be less of a dick than Jimbo. I know he is leaving UK now… but he appears loyal. Bob is the most loyal MFer I've seen in awhile. Retired and left his school/next coach in a terrific position to maintain success. Hopefully whatever Bob knows, so does his little brother

He's outperformed his talent level.

If he outperforms his talent at A&M he'll win 10+ games.

How many years prior to Georgia's rise did he do nothing in the weak ass SEC East ?

This is the least inspiring hire ever in the history of A&M.

On paper he is a bad hire opposite of Jimbo, so this has to work.

At UK.... with 1/4 the talent and facilities

Let's stop looking at his record.... it's not like he was coaching at Florida

The half-full for hiring Stoops is that it makes Jimbo looks even worse.

An analogy would be trading a pro football player who had been a first round draft pick for a player who was a fourth round draft pick.

The glass half full take is he sucks balls and we aren't hiring him.
