Mark Stoops To Ohio

Posted: 12/20/2025 1:54:58 PM

Hearing from a few sources that Mark Stoops is on the short list. Money may not make sense, but he’s one of a few “last stop” Solich types on list.

Does he drink, date and/or like Mexican food? These questions must be asked

Stoops is 72-80 at Kentucky and 4-4 in bowls. Two 10 win seasons in 13 SEC seasons.

If I were to say what the ideal recruiting approach for Ohio would be I'd have ith this way.

1) 15 in-state freshman players (box out MAC schools)
2) 5 best available freshman players.
3) 50% transfer portal greatest need.
4) 50% transfer portal best available.

The current recruiting class has 14 players from Ohio so we might be close to the ideal mix already under Hauser and the current staff.

Stoops I thought had a reputation for recruiting Ohio well over at Kentucky.

Stoops Ohio recruiting seemed to tail off but he definitely had a pipeline in his time at UK. I could see where he'd help Ohio recruit better across the south than what Ohio is doing now. Of course all relative at a G6 job instead of an SEC job.

Most Memorable Bobcat Events Attended
2010 97-83 win over Georgetown in NCAA 1st round

2015 34-3 drubbing of Fiami @ Peden with 25,086 fans
2023 10-7 near shutout of Iowa State @ Solich Field
2025 17-10 defeat of WVU @ Peden in front of 26,740

I wouldn't mind Mark Stoops. He's not my first choice (that would be Hauser), but if we end up with Stoops, let's hope we catch lightning in a bottle Solich Style.

Not sure money is the issue. He received 4 million upon his dismissal from UK, then gets 6.75 million a year until April 2031 per my lazy AI search. Also, no offset language that would take money away if he got another job.
