So, I'm in the middle of reading Pat Forde's latest Forde-Yard Dash piece and I ran across this tidbit under his "CHANGE OF SCENERY (COACHING) CANDIDATES" section...

Quote:Bob Stoops (19), Oklahoma. He would seem less likely than Richt to jump at a fresh start – but the frustration level is growing in Norman, and that shocking loss to Texas last Saturday sure didn’t help. The Dash believes Stoops can still win big, but may need a change of venue to do so. A guy with a defense-first mentality may be better off somewhere other than the track-meet league the Big 12 has become.

With that in mind, I'll submit this one:

"Bob Stoops has agreed to become next head coach at the University of Maryland."

Until your last line, I expected to see you sending him to Southern Cal.

Nah, Stoops is waiting on Beamer to retire so he can move to Blacksburg...

He best not hold his breath.

Richt seems to be teflon. He never does enough to make UGAg fans happy ... but nobody will do that short of Harbaugh/Saban/Meyer. But he keeps on surviving.

I hope UGAg fires him. He has crushed GT in recruiting and on the field ever since he's been there. And firing a coach with his track record ... wellllll the last time coaches with records that good were fired was Maryland (Fridge), Nebraska (Solich), and Miami (Coker). How's that workin' out for those schools?

GTS, I see you have developed an evil side.

I like Kevin Sumlin to SoCal. (Actually heard that on ESPN yesterday with Mark Stoops from Kentucky being Sumlin's replacement.)
Also like Jeff Brohm to Maryland

In 2017, WVU announces that Nick Saban will come coach the Mountaineers.

I thought that job belonged to Rich Rod.

I'd love to see either coach at VT, but I don't expect that to happen.

Louisville needs a moral compass more than WVU.....

Maryland gets in a bidding war for Tom Herman and ends up paying him 4 Million a year for a head coach that's coached 6 games.

Nick Saban to Army.

Maryland gets Art Briles for $7m a year plus $5m for his coaching staff.

Greg Schiano to Syracuse.
