Considering how much money they make at UF and OU respectively, there's really not much incentive to leave their current ultra-cushy college jobs.
December 19th, 2009 at 12:06 PM ^
you don't think money bags could give them a raise?
December 19th, 2009 at 12:58 PM ^
Not to mention the job security.
December 19th, 2009 at 3:11 PM ^
Job security is the bigger one. What Jones would offer would probably only be $1-2M more than what they make now. But, they probably only have a shelf life of few years in the NFL, so in a lot ways its not really worth it.

How great would it be if Urban Meyer left Fl. What would they do? Living in FL these freakin FL fans drive me crazy..They think there was no football before Fl got good...I can't stand them.

I moved to Florida and 2007 and it is all I hear about. I casually remind Gator fans that we are 2-0 against them.

I think Stoops really wants another National Championship @ OU under his belt before he goes anywhere.

Jerry Jones' pick for the next Cowboys' coach. It was reported a week or so ago.
December 19th, 2009 at 1:13 PM ^
That I could actually believe. Stoops and Meyer not so much, but if Jones holds onto Wade for one more year and the Hat continues making the natives restless down in the bayou I can definitely see him getting the Cowboys job.
December 19th, 2009 at 12:57 PM ^
I will give you some good reasons why. Neither runs a 3-4 Is one and the second is Jerry is the coach of the Cowboys and he won't hire someone who is as famous as him or smarted see Wade Phillips. dave campo and chan gailey.
December 19th, 2009 at 1:56 PM ^
that are sitting at home or on a TV channel, you would have to figure Good Ole Jerry is going to go after one of them.
Dungy, Chucky, Shannahan, Cowher, Holmgrem, DITKA :-) just to name a few....

He wants a sycophant to stand on the sideline while he (Jones) calls all of the plays and decides who is on the roster.
As for Meyer or Stoops going to the NFL, I can't imagine why anyone would hire either one. They are using versions of the spread, while the NFL is still married to "pro set" offenses. Then again, Jones did somehow convert Barry Switzer from an option coach to an NFL coach/JJ sycophant, so I guess anything is possible.
December 19th, 2009 at 2:27 PM ^
It wouldn't surprise me if Jerry Jones did want a college coach. Their last three championships were under Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, who had no NFL head coaching experience when Jerry hired them. I would be surprised, however, if either Meyer or Stoops took the job.
December 19th, 2009 at 3:31 PM ^
Those were Jimmy Johnson's players and I'm pretty sure Aikman called the plays on O. The Cowboys are a mess the one good coach they have had since jj was Tuna and Jones ran him off. If you look at the Cowboys roster every young star is from Tuna and ever draft jones has run on his own has been a joke.
December 19th, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
He would be smart to Bill Cowher to coach this team he is the perfect fit and would add that toughness they need.
December 19th, 2009 at 4:42 PM ^
The only way the cowboys are gonna get better, is the same way the raiders will get better... Crazy old owner with huge ego relinquishing power. But, the only way that will happen is a reaper visit. It is what it is...
