RUMOR: Will Bob Stoops Be Michigan's Next Head Coach?

Florida has hired Jim McElwain and Nebraska as hired Mike Riley to fill their respective head coaching vacancies, leaving the Michigan job has the last big position that has yet to be filled.

However, the Wolverines might not be far behind.

ESPN's Colin Cowherd said on his radio show, The Herd, that a source told him the name of a coach Michigan plans to hire this weekend, though Cowherd wouldn't reveal his identity. All he would say was that it's someone who's currently coaching somewhere else, and that Michigan fans would like it.

Agent Tom Condon, who just left CAA and is rumored to be joining Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports, expressed that Oklahoma's Bob Stoops - one of his clients - is not happy in Norman anymore.

Stoops has been linked to numerous jobs in the past and was a candidate for the Florida job, but could this be the time he actually leaves Oklahoma?

He's been the Sooners head coach since 1999 and won the national championship in his second season, and has kept Oklahoma as one of the premier programs in college football. However, despite title expectations every year, the Sooners have only finished a season ranked higher than 6th once since 2003.

Stoops has been the subject of frustrations from Oklahoma fans who have seen their team routinely fall short of those expectations, and he might have finally had enough.
