Aggy 2024: Still waiting on the Looch 44

It’s hilarious to me to read the mods of a spurned school and admit the coach they just lost was the fallback option.

I'm not going to say a deal is done to bring Kentucky's Mark Stoops to Aggieland but will say I'm expecting that to be the case as early as tonight. I stated yesterday that there was real momentum on the side of the longtime Kentucky head man being Ross Bjork's choice to succeed Jimbo Fisher as Texas A&M's next head coach and as I type this update, I'm expecting we'll see Stoops arrive in College Station as early as tomorrow.

I'll have more shortly but barring something hitting a wall over the next hour or so, Mark Stoops will be making the move West across SEC country.

When I mentioned Stoops yesterday, I was about three days into chasing down said scoop. All of the 'breaking' Ryan Day or Dabo Swinney stuff was simply smoke and mirrors in the agent and coaching world, as the guys drawing the most serious interest down the stretch were Stoops and Duke's Mike Elko, along with Utah's Kyle Whittingham entering the mix late. Arizona's Jedd Fisch was close to receiving an in-person interview, as well, but the Aggies made their choice and didn't look back when going with the man who has led Big Blue Nation for the past eleven seasons.

More shortly and a full update and video feature breaking down the hire once the news becomes official.

Kentucky averages 65 yards of offense less a game than aggy and barely over 200 passing a game.  Stoops offense is more boring and ancient that Jimbo's.  Lulz what an amazing hire.

[Elmer_Fudd 22198]

Texags is in full meltdown mode over the hire.

[KeysPhoneWallet 807]

Damn so Pete Chanel and espn leaked it yesterday morning huh? Then Billy gave some Aggie credibility to the leak. Saw on texags that they all think Billy was the first to say stoops last night but I saw Thames report it first.

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

This means they struck out with EVERYONE. Aint no way Stoops was a top choice.

Lanning, Day, Deborah, Fischer, Day.  I'm sure I'm missing someone.  Looch will of course spin it as Stoops was the top choice all along.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9323]

Looch is gonna have to dig DEEEEEEP into his well of bullshit to try and come up with an angle that makes Stoops seem like not just their first choice but an ideal fit culturally and schematically at aggy. Good luck.

[Navin R. Johnson 705]

Hiring Stoops will be the deal of the century. Just wait and see you stupid sips. I’m at the office if you’re man enough to fight!

[Elmer_Fudd 22198]

So is Stoops going to keep Robinson and Durkin?

[NoName 16349]

Christ. They paid $76 million for the right to hire Mark Stoops?

Guy on the aggy 247 site that's usually a reliable insider says Robinson isn't returning.

Wow

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

 

Paid Jimbo 76 million and paying kentucky 4-4.5 million if I'm reading correctly

[Pato del Muerto 52484]

Stoops agree to a pay cut, or are they going to be paying him 9-10 million in addition to jimbo’s 6?

These people are reliably stupid. They should have made Schumann say no 3-4 times.

The thread of Tarp saying Stoops is the next Head Coach currently has 77 down votes and counting.

Taking it well

What OC's has he had?

Well..."works"

[CTC2 2791]

Someone didn’t like the hire so they leaked it. Notice all the confirmations condition it on “things not falling apart”.   They never disappoint. 

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

Bjork went rogue again 

[CTC2 2791]

TexAgs not taking down all the negative posts. Strange. 

[Navin R. Johnson 705]

They got rejected by everyone

Said aggy had their guy and it would start trickling out Saturday night or Sunday morning. Looch said not true. Stoops is being hired by aggy.

Said Stewart would not travel to the LSU game and was entering the portal. Looch said not true. Stewart didn't travel.

Robinson leaving is going to decimate that roster.

This is exactly what's going on.

[Tony Two K 600]

Wait, they paid $76,000,000 to fire Jimbo so they could hire Jimbo’s first Defensive Coordinator? Hahaha.

Can’t you read?  Stoops was the one and only choice per billy, and every other name mentioned was “smoke and mirrors” by agents. Even the ones billy himself kept mentioning, apparently.

Billy admitting he lies to his subscribers to run interference for a terrible aggy hire. Just amazing all around.

this game did more to set offense in football back than anything not involving the ferentz family, and in the end stoops out-jimbo’d jimbo to seal the loss. 

[Vertigo 20276]

You know what I love about this weekend? Aggy lost to LSU and not one fuck was given by this board.

[HtownHorn 14663]

Damn they are truly fucked.

An aggy loss feeds a man for a day. A bad aggy hire can feed a man for a decade.

Gerry also thinks Robinson is overrated in the NIL era.
