My opinion is that the UofA really needs someone solid with contacts and ties to the school and the west. The last thing they need is another "big name".

I actually hope you're right.
The guy's done an incredible job here in Oklahoma. He probably deserves a head coaching job at a major school. I just don't want him to leave.
AD's need to take more risks. Oklahoma ended up striking gold when it hired away Florida's old Defensive Coordinator (Bob Stoops).
Yeah, the entire state is pretty much booing the radio personalities that "broke" this story. They're the same folks that told us Stoops was going to replace Spurrier at Florida. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll lose their jobs or any sleep over this one.
I always thought a defensive head coach would be a strange selection at a PAC-10 school. Haven't AD's in that conference almost always gone with former offensive coordinators?
