If we are going to introduce a coach Saturday at the bball game, Geoffrey needs to be on that plane today. If it is the Las Vegas Classic or Poinsetta Bowl, Geoffrey needs to be at the game next week.Where is Waldo?
I think the rumor of a possible introduction at the basketball game is out the door.
Unless something blow-ups, Stoops is in. Fact, he is already trying to put together a staff. I know I'll have my doubters, but time will tell.

So we have been here the last week, and all we keep hearing is we need a head coach, not a oc or dc and there is now talk of hiring a hc (stoops) and we are throwing a fit, Whomever it is I will support the Cyclones!
IMO:
Stoops was a plan by hawkeye faithful to bring his name up for a couple of reasons:
- Easy show prep, spread rumors.
- Increase radio listeners.
- Create a stir on the Interwebs from said radio.
- Create a need for Stoops to be paid more (a hawk looking out for a hawk) by radio.
I think that JP already has his man, or is very close to it, and he may have let the Stoops idea leak to a) throw the media off and b) make the new hire seem like a good hire.
JP has been know to use such tactics to his advantage before (not saying he arranges it). Think for a minute. No one is a big fan of Mike Stoops and JP will be looking for someone who can not only coach, but also create some buzz.
Stoops doesn't fit that, but there are a number of coaches being considered that do. Gill was a fan favorite but was quickly eliminated. Anything immediately following Gill's announcement would have been viewed as settling, but now that we have flirted with hiring Stoops, there are a number of names I can think of that would be viewed as a step up.
Nonsense.
What are we going to do when this search is over?
