It was just two years ago when the Florida State Seminoles reportedly made overtures to Stoops about possibly replacing Willie Taggart as FSU’s head coach.
Stoops, the head coach at undefeated and 11th-ranked Kentucky, did not pursue the job even though he had been Jimbo Fisher’s defensive coordinator when Fisher replaced Bobby Bowden and began the process of rebuilding the Seminoles back into a national championship contender.
If you ask me, Mark Stoops has the best coaching job in America at a place where he actually gets a one-year contract rollover anytime he wins seven games.
