For those asking for Cliffs Notes, please read only the last two conjectures. These conjectures are supported by a list of facts outlined above. The plan is to welcome Stoops with open arms once he accepts and for any Arnett holdouts to be especially supportive, so message board activity does not disrupt the current recruiting class.

You lost me at level set. I’m off today so I don’t have the bandwidth to deal with corporate buzzwords. Let’s put a pin in this and maybe I can take a high level view of this at a later date. I understand I may have deliverables but I wanted make sure I could deliver before I commit.

Fair enough. You’re a professional and aware of your KPIs, so I have no concerns.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

If only you had been this transparent in 1968-

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

Has anyone conjectured a price tag? Will we have to dip into the NIL fund to get him.

Can someone also conjecture a percentage on Stoops being our next coach?

If so, it will be 17n great!

I haven't had this much fun during a terrible time since @missouridawg continued the State Diamond Dawgs 2020 season in game recaps. If memory serves correctly, this sage led us to our "First", albeit imaginary, National Championship.

Lo and behold, we all know what happened in Omaha Summer 2021.

By all means, please continue this entertaining circus to distract us all. As for bread? I prefer to drink my grains fermented.

First let me say I don't know anything (just like everyone else). Second I don't believe that Bob Stoops will be our next coach. Having said that how close are Selmon and Stoops?

We won't have to dip into NIL. The athletic department pocketed 49 and a half million from the hump upgrades just for this purpose. Oh, and 19.83% chance he comes.

Banners are delayed at the printers. Damn COVID still causing supply chain issues.

 

[L4Dawg]

Most coach interviews are done at large airports or other neutral sites not associated with either party now specifically to dodge plane trackers. I would expect if MSU was to interview a high profile guy it would be in Atlanta.

Chance of Stoops being our next coach 17%
