Which fucking stoops are people talking about here? If it's Bob...

Why would Bob Stoops come to Washington? This seems like a huge woosh.

If he wanted to coach again he could go to a bigger name like USC or Texas or one of a half dozen openings that will be available this season.

He'd probably hate Seattle more than Petersen does.

There's a lot of sources out there hinting that Bob's wife loves the Seattle area, plus she has family up in the San Juans. As for other jobs not fitting the mold - Bob wants a program where he can craft it in his own vision without any interference from nosy boosters (so USC is out), and he has too much respect for OU to even think about coaching in the SEC/Big 12 footprint (that plus every other reason eliminates Texas).

So combine all of that with his lesser known love of crabbing (he's particularly fond of Dungeness), and word is that Bob is very much interested in coming here and laying down his roots, perhaps even finding his "forever home". Somewhere he can dock his boat the 'Sooner Schooner' would be a plus.

Jen said it - "we have the resources" blah blah blah "... for Washington"

So no, we won't pay him.

No way this is true

You have to spend money to make money.

Whats the difference between 3 and 6 million, when 10s of million of revenue is on the line?

I agree that we should spend the money. It's a no brainer given the way that donations and attendance are plummeting. That being said, I just don't think it'll happen. I've watched UW administration ceaselessly make poor decisions for well over 2 decades, so I have no reason to expect any sort of a sound business decision.
