Michigan Football News: Yahoo Writer Says Wolverines Should Pursue Bob Stoops

The Michigan Wolverines football team is likely playing under a lame duck head coach in Brady Hoke as the team finishes out the 2014 college football season.

There have been multiple reports that the administration (along with a yet-to-be-named new athletics director) will take a charge at trying to draw alumnus Jim Harbaugh out of the NFL.

However, if that doesn't work, Yahoo! Sports writer Dan Wetzel believes the team should take a legitimate run at trying to lure Oklahoma Sooners head coach Bob Stoops out of Norman:

"This is an established coach, a man with a modern offense and an old-school demeanor. He has the gravitas to seize command of the various factions surrounding the program. He will not be overwhelmed by the stage, the history or the expectations. He can win at the highest level."

"As a bonus, he already took over a listless former power that was besieged by infighting (it's almost impossible to recall how bad the end of the Blake era was in Norman). He turned it into the most consistent winner of the last decade and a half in college football."

Whether or not Stoops would be interested in leaving what he has built with the Sooners is another set of speculation altogether. Perhaps the 54-year-old head coach is looking to take on a new challenge. If so, Michigan could very well fit that bill.
