News of Notre Dame firing Charlie Weis broke just a couple of hours ago, which means it’s time to start churning the rumor mill and take guesses at who might replace him in South Bend. The first to make it through to the other side of the message boards, 140-character speculations and public prognosticating is Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who is already saying “no.”
Charlie Weis Fired, Bob Stoops Says ‘No Thanks’
↵↵I’m going to be at Oklahoma next year,” he said. “If (athletic director) Joe (Castiglione) will have me and President (David) Boren, that’s what I intend to do.”
↵Speaking to reporters Monday afternoon, Stoops dispelled numerous reports that he would be the next coach at Notre Dame, but declined to comment on the nature or existence of his contact with school officials at the school in South Bend, Ind.
↵“I will never confirm or deny whether I talk or not talk to anybody, and I won’t be interviewing for any jobs,” he said.
↵↵Brian Kelly? Butch Davis? Who will be the next one to enter the Media Machine’s Irish Circle of Conjecture and Gears of Gossip?
