Mark Stoops met with Florida State, removed himself as a candidate, per reports

Kentucky Wildcats football head coach Mark Stoops met with Florida State Seminoles officials in Cincinnati last week, per Noles247’s Josh Newberg.

Florida State did not offer the job to Stoops, and a week after the interview took place, Stoops called said officials to remove himself as a candidate for the Seminoles’ head coaching vacancy.

According to Warchant.com, Florida State is asking boosters to donate some serious amounts of money so they can land the biggest name coach possible, which is probably one reason why they did not offer Stoops the job, and also probably why he removed himself as a candidate.
