This is JP being a Ninja, Fulmer is the guy!
What is wrong with Stoops?
Were you expecting some 5-star coach to want this job?
Stoops is winning at a very poor BCS school...

Uh, this is his FIRST winning season. Color me not impressed.
Why doesn't Stoops kill this story and say that he is not a candidate for the position rather than respond "no comment?"
I wonder if the guys that are hating on Stoops were ga ga over the Chiz hiring?

I don't know whether Stoops is the guy or not, but why the hate thing with some of our fans. The guy was a coordinator on a national championship Oklahoma team, took over a down program at a basketball school and has them in a decent bowl game with BYU (I know it's his 5th year), and the Stoops name is huge in the Big 12 region, Iowa, and probably in Ohio. He's known as tough, intense and high energy, and would be highly motivated at ISU to compete with his brother, plus he's got Iowa ties (I think his wife is from Iowa). I think he had an OWI once (not sure about that) but what's not to like about the guy?
Yeah, I don't get why some of our fans hate the idea of Stoops. He has Big XII ties, is a midwest guy and turned around AZ and has them in their first bowl in 10 years. Sounds like a good hire to me. I like that better than Fulmer, who is near retirement, failed to beat a crappy UCLA team and pretty much anyone in the SEC while basically dominating recruiting in a talent-rich state. If Fulmer couldn't get it done with all the talent, facilities and support he had at UT, how could he possibly do it in Ames?
