I think COY should take into account all 12 games. While Stoops has done an amazing job the last 5 games an SEC coach doesn't lose to SMU. Don't get me wrong, I'm tickled to death at the turnaround after 3 disappointing games and I'm glad Stoops got us pointed in the right direction after we stumbled out of the gate. However when u look at the season as a whole up to this point, he hasn't outcoached Sumlin at a&m or Saban with an undefeated team with a freshman QB. If a&m makes it into the playoffs I don't see how he doesn't get it. As we sit right now I'd rank coaching jobs this season as Sumlin, Mcelwein (no clue how that's spelled lol) Saban then Stoops. If we get to Atl then yeah I'd have to say Stoops and Sumlin neck and neck. Right now though no, he's not COY.
If we win out it's at least second place in the East depending on what the Gators do. Most of the preseason polls that I can remember had us finishing no better than fifth.
If we can manage to win out Stoops has a strong case for SEC COY, and IF (a huge if) we could also beat Louisville to finish 9-3, he might be in the discussion for national COY.
