Bob Stoops is not a candidate for Florida State job, per report

It’s the story that won’t stop turning. Former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops has been rumored to be the next head coach at Florida State.

It’s the story that won’t stop turning.

Just ten days ago, smoke was billowing out of Tallahassee, Florida, that former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops was close to signing a deal to become the head coach at Florida State. Longtime Oklahoma football beat writer Carey Murdock of SoonerScoop.com debunked that rumor then, but the story wouldn’t go away.

A week after, Stoops to Florida State was heating up again.

Now, the Stoops-to-Florida State rumors can come to a screeching halt as he is no lot or no longer a candidate for the Seminoles’ job, via the Tallahassee Democrat of the USA TODAY Network. According to the report, Florida State had been in contact with representatives of the former Oklahoma head coach, but he is not a candidate for the vacant coaching position.

Stoops should now be able to focus on his new job as the general manager and head coach of the Dallas Renegades of the XFL. Dallas’ first game is scheduled for Feb. 9, 2020.
