I've also heard talk from both UT and OU alumni about him coming there when/if Mack Brown is fired or Stoops leaves to go try the NFL. There has also been speculation about him taking over after the retirement of Bowden at FSU or Paterno at PSU, maybe after a year in the broadcast booth. Of those, I think UT and Austin would be the best fit for him and his ego. He'd not fit in in Oklahoma, I think, and doubt that he would go back to Florida or FSU, even if asked. There's too much risk and no glory if he does what is expected of him.
Who knows, maybe Snyder will wise up, and give him more time and take a hands-off approach. At least Snyder makes Jerry Jones not look quite so bad anymore.

I don't think Stoops will be leaving anytime soon - he's probably making more money now than anyone in the NFL and appears to be very happy in Norman. There will probably be a raid on his coaching staff before the year ends - So far OU has been able to keep them at home with $$$$$!
Don't know if any of you had a chance to watch the HBO thing on the Cowboys last year but they looked at Jones up close and really personal - I changed my opinion about him in several ways - I think he cares very deeply for the Cowboys and their image - He has perhaps been guilty of trying to micro-manage or perhaps micro-coach might fit better, but I would imagine the deal with the Tuna eliminated the possibility of that becoming a problem this year. Perhaps he should have kept Switzer - things definitely went downhill after his departure.
