FSU Just Lost Mark Stoops

Damn, I hate it when I am right with a prediction.     http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/27/kentucky-names-mark-stoops-as-new-head-coach/

Well, replacing coordinators is part of the job.  Remains to be seen how many FSU assistants he poaches though...

Sorry, **Censored** (M)y (L)ife lol. Obviously I'm a Noles fan.

Hate to see him go, but I think he'll be a good one.

you guys were right about stoops..that didnt take long.

Congrats to Stoops, he earned it.  Hope he makes Kentucky more than an afterthought in football. 

Fisher saying "This is where I want to be" with Sexton as his agent makes me nervous.  If I was Fisher, I would take my 10-win season and make a play for a school with deeper pockets and a larger booster club. Having to replace Stoops and play UF and Clemson on the road next season makes it tough to repeat this success.

HUH?

What school has deeper pockets and a bigger booster club that is in need of a new HC???  Not to mention the best recruiting territory is in your back yard. Unless USC or Texas make a change I don't see how you can go higher than FSU, and please don't say Auburn. FSU's athletic program >>>Auburn's

John,

Season ain't over yet, let's see who else walks the plank.  Part of my angst is that the ACC is never going to pull-in the TV dollars that the SEC will, and that is where a lot of funding comes from, right?  If FSU moved into a stronger football conference with better payouts and better media exposure, then I would relent.  Until then, playing in a second-tier conference will always be a black mark for making FSU a "final coaching destination".

Anyone can coach a defense with that much talent. I wouldn't fret over it too much.

Stoops crew had a nice showing against Gtech.  That option attack can be tough but they bowed up yesterday.  If I'm stoops i dont think i take the UK job and hold out for something a little better, even if that means another year as a DC.  I suppose on the one hand if you are a rising coordinator you have to strike while the iron is hot if you want to move up.  But on the other hand it will be very tough to win at UK.  Realistically what is their upside?  Maybe 4th place in the SEC East?  He may get blown out in three years and never get another HC shot again.

I hear Monte Kiffin is available

[dark uncle]

Monte's defensive philosophy is showing it's age.  He got cornholed this season and is in his 70's.  Maybe the Fleagles can hire him after they can the walrus.

[3rd String Kicker]

The thought of Monte in Eagles attire would make me sick. But I hope the Walrus gets canned after this Sundays beating. If we're in the business of bringing 70 year olds out of retirement, lets get Mickey back lol.

From what I read he wants to pursue NFL coaching opportunities.
