Mark Stoops shuts down Nebraska talk: "More work to be done here"

The Nebraska Cornhuskers paid Scott Frost $15 million to go away this weekend, firing him after four years (and three games) of doing his job poorly.

Now, they’re looking for a permanent replacement, and Mark Stoops has quickly emerged as a hot name among national analysts. Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com listed the Kentucky head coach as the No. 1 candidate on his list, while Pat Forde of Sport Illustrated and Chris Vannini of The Athletic listed Stoops as a possibility, as well.

UK’s all-time winningest head coach is here to silence the noise before it even ramps up.
