and fire or demote Elliott. Stoops and Leavitt have a history and Leavitt runs a hybrid 3-4. Leavitt would bring a wealth of knowledge and also be someone with head coaching experience on the staff. If Stoops gets fired mid season next year then Leavitt could finish the year as interim and maybe take over as head man if he produces. The latter could be part of the negotiations in luring him away from Colorado.
