GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
As Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen embarks on his first coaching search since hiring Mike Shanahan in 1995, one name is generating more buzz than all others: Bob Stoops.Yes, Stoops, the head coach at Oklahoma who will lead the Sooners into the national title game on Thursday, appears to be a candidate for the Broncos job. Or at least, Bowlen wants him to be a candidate. The Denver Post reports that Bowlen has tried to contact Stoops, but it's not clear whether Stoops is willing to listen. Although the folks in Oklahoma might be getting worried, would Stoops see the Broncos job as a step up?
I'm not so sure. When I was at the NFL scouting combine last year, I heard a few coaches marveling at the $6 million Stoops was scheduled to make in 2008. I'm not sure that Bowlen -- who still owes Shanahan $20 million over the next three years -- would give Stoops much more money than he's already making. And I'm not sure that Stoops wants to leave Oklahoma, where he has total control over everything, for the NFL, where coaches just don't have the same level of authority.
The only reason for Stoops to leave Oklahoma for the NFL is if he just thinks he's accomplished everything he wants to accomplish in college football, and feels it's time to find a new challenge. But before he makes that leap, he should give his old buddy Steve Spurrier a call.
