Former Arizona coach Mike Stoops heading to Alabama as an analyst

For anyone that is curious and has been following, former Arizona head coach Mike Stoops is heading to Alabama. After being let go as the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma earlier in the year, he will now head to Tuscaloosa to become a football analyst for the Crimson Tide.

While it’s a dog eat dog world in college athletics, former Arizona head coach Mike Stoops is certainly no stranger to that, having been around while in the coaching ranks for some time and having gone through some changes.

At one time, he was once considered the top defensive coordinator in all of college football, who took the shot at trying to turn around a program that was perceived as a conference doormat.
