5 college football teams that should throw everything at hiring Bob Stoops

The best way to solve Billy Napier woes is to hire the Head Ball Coach’s favorite
We are only one year into the Billy Napier era of Florida Gators football, and a lot is left to be desired. He has more support staff than any man could possibly ever need in his entourage, but he’s no Aquaman, and he’s most certainly no Vincent Chase. Easy E does it, but I think we may need to give the Head Ball Coach a call and see what he thinks about his favorite, Bobby Stoops.
Prior to changing the Oklahoma program for the better, Stoops was Steve Spurrier’s top flight defensive coordinator during the height of the ole Fun ‘n Gun. Florida has been underwater for a reason since Urban Meyer retired from the coaching profession for the first time. It has everything to do with recruitment and facilities, two things that have allowed arch rival Georgia to lap them.
Not to say Stoops has the youthful energy to keep up with the maniacal Kirby Smart, but his presence could help galvanize boosters. Of course, he may just want a lazy river built at the team facility and go full-blown Mark Richt back at Miami on us, drifting away into the semi-retired life. It may not work out, but he would beat his little brother’s team regularly enough to go around 10-2.
If anybody can turn Florida into Bob Stoops Oklahoma, it would have to be Bob Stoops, am I right?
