That's the one knock on him. But then, we've tried the new hot coordinators in Chud and Shurmur and the rest and it's not worked out, so I would be ok with them going somewhere different.

Agreed. That's why while I'm not drooling over Josh McDaniels, I do like the fact that he's been there and done that. I know it wasn't great, but hopefully he learned from his mistakes and that coupled with not having GM personal duties like he did in Denver, might make for a better HC. The coordinator de jour, with no HC experience, usually results in RAC, Shurmur or Chud.

Not specifically aimed at Stoops, but I fear for any NCAA head coach coming here. For every Chip Kelly, there are far more Steve Spurriers. I would rather see both a HC with some NFL HCing experience, then the hot coordinator of the week, before a college HC with no NFL experience.

I had the exact same reaction.

Regardless, i still think whoever the new HC is, they're going to want to take a look at Weeden . . .

I'd currently like us to go Stoops or Malzahn from what I've read so far - McDaniels just reeks too much of cronyism to me with the Lombardi & same Agent connections.

Oklahoma State guys, relax. I think whoever comes in will take one look at the Weeden tapes and send him packing. There was a reason Chud started Campbell over Weeden the end of the year- Jason isn't much, but he's got more to offer than Wee-Done.

Oh and cronyism? That's exactly the reason I'm afraid McDaniels is #1A AND #1B on their coaching search. Belichick disciples as a general rule have fared extremely poorly when promoted to head coaches.

I had a scary moment where I couldn't remember which OK college Weeden played at, and thought maybe if Stoops got the job he'd want to keep him around.

Panic over.

I like stoops a lot, too. It's another doubtful though.

He could bring his brother with him and we could build a real AFC North defense.

However ... it seems that Banner and Lombardi are obsessed with the offensive side of the ball ... so this sensible hire would shock me.
