Weird choice. He's still relatively young at 61, so I guess it's possible it could end up being permanent.Bob Stoops will return as interim HC to coach OU in the bowl game. Wonder if he'll be in the mix to return for good?
Monken being mentioned as possible replacement in derm. If that happens... a certain poster gonna be real mad.David Cutcliffe retired/fired/resigned
That would be hilarious.Monken being mentioned as possible replacement in derm. If that happens... a certain poster gonna be real mad.
He also was on the LSU short list, perhaps even right behind Riley.VaTech wanted Napier bad.
It is also possible that OU goes with baby brother Mark Stoops, who has SEC HC experience.Weird choice. He's still relatively young at 61, so I guess it's possible it could end up being permanent.
Where is the "rumor" coming from? And good lord with your negativity. This would be something that Mack needs to do, something you've said he should do, but you still find a way to turn it into a negative.There is a rumor that Bateman is being fired. If so, that would fit with Mack's pattern: when he feels he must fire because boosters demand at least one change in the staff, Mack fires an assistant who is not a long time associate, not a friend of some years, and not a former player of his or the school's.
Bateman was not Mack's choice for DC. That incompetent Greg Robinson was. Two writers for TOS were introduced to Robinson by Mack, who said that Robinson was the new DC. Boosters raised Hell, and Mack was forced to rethink.
If boosters have been loud enough to demand a head now, it would fit Mack to fire Bateman. Bateman wasn't his 1st choice, so Bateman can be sacrificed.
Most negative mofo I’ve seen on this board. If he got a job taste testing pies at $200K a year, he’d complain about gaining weight.Where is the "rumor" coming from?

Yeah that would suck actually because dook would win a fair amount of games since nobody prepares for that BS on a regular basis.It's been nice not having to face cut-blocks yearly, please no Monken.
Lol 😂Most negative mofo I’ve seen on this board. If he got a job taste testing pies at $200K a year, he’d complain about gaining weight.
True and agreeIt's been nice not having to face cut-blocks yearly, please no Monken.
I'll be shocked if ANY changes are made.I wouldn't put too munch into that rumor about Bateman.
I'll be shocked if ANY changes are made.
Shocked is a little strong. I don't expect any changes. If they're made, great. I won't be expecting much from the changes, either.Don't be. I'm pretty sure there's going to be at least one.
I don't see Bateman as anywhere near the top of assistants that need to be replaced. Searels seems to me to be the one doing the most dragging down of the program.Where is the "rumor" coming from?

If Mack do that, there's be no, or very little, need to consider evaluating him for potential replacement.Every coaching spot on this team needs to be seriously evaluated even ole Mack. Time to think about a possible replacement being hired to be on staff now….I know coach in waiting lol
He's just so... Irish!Does anybody think Brian Kelly would leave ND to go to LSU? Is he flirting with LSU to get more from ND?
i would love it…not sure he could handle that.Does anybody think Brian Kelly would leave ND to go to LSU? Is he flirting with LSU to get more from ND?
Reports are saying Kelly is going.i would love it…not sure he could handle that.
gotta be aranda i believe.
if true, he’ll be responsible for many deaths there.Reports are saying Kelly is going.
Interesting that they would wait until after the bowl game, unless they already have the new guy lined up. If not, why not get a jump start on the new DC, and give Bateman a chance to look for his next job too?I heard today from a very reliable source (former player that’s well connected) that Bateman is gone and they will announce after the bowl game! Take it FWIW but I really trust this guy..just passing it along from him lol
That's what I would guess. I'm aware of any conflict Aranda had with LSU boosters. And this Baylor team is very good. Seems perfect.i would love it…not sure he could handle that.

Over the course of the season the D had major and repeated issues with basic fundamentals in all 3 groupings: DL, LBs, and DBs. No DC can spend any time working to make certain that players know how to perform the basics of their positions. That is a beginning part of what position coaches are for.I heard today from a very reliable source (former player that’s well connected) that Bateman is gone and they will announce after the bowl game!

^ Luke fickell?I think it would be funny if ND were to go after Aranda.
Yeah and also if it's true, he's obviously going to hear the rumors. You don't want a coach that will be here another month thinking he's going to be fired. I guess it might be a recruiting thing, but I'd rather just pull off the band-aid and get the new guy a chance to start working with the team some.Interesting that they would wait until after the bowl game, unless they already have the new guy lined up.
