This is a developing story. We will update this story as we learn more information.

Just an update to my earlier tweet about Stoops coming on at Florida State:

I've heard the announcement could come as early as the end of this week. With keeping Briles on as OC, it could turn into a HCIW role. Stoops is 59, would want to groom a successor before he retires. https://t.co/8o4yYHqOzh

Just talked with Bob Stoops. Any reports that he’s a candidate for the FSU job are not accurate. Said “he’s not a candidate”. @CollegeGameDay @espn

Kirk is obviously in the know. Or isn't in the know. I guess he's covering all the basis when he tweets just talked to; and have not spoken to.

Rumors Swirling...

FSU Head Coaching Search: What We Know

https://www.wctv.tv/content/news/Uncertainty-looms-as--564505951.html

Names to Know

One name circulating for the gig is former Oklahoma Sooners head coach Bob Stoops, who retired from college football in 2017 and is currently the head coach and GM of the XFL's Dallas Renegades.
A source inside the FSU program denied that the Seminoles' next coach would be Stoops in a phone call to WCTV Sports Director Kevin Keane.

Three sources outside of the program, but with strong connections to FSU football and boosters, were not able to confirm Stoops, or anyone else, as a candidate for the position.

WCTV also reached out the Dallas Renegades for comment on Stoops' status with the team, but they have not returned calls.

WCTV reporter Sophia Hernandez spoke to multiple boosters about Taggart's firing. One booster told her any reports of Stoops as a candidate for the FSU job are "all urban legend at this point."

The booster went on to say he would definitely be excited if FSU were able to hire Stoops.

Rick Kearney, who has been a Seminole booster for more than 20 years, says he couldn't confirm anything since he's only heard the same rumors as everyone else.

Unlike a lot of schools, our Mountaineers included, turnaround for Florida teams can be quick...one season. The number of skilled kids within driving distance of any campus is astounding. Full year weight programs...spring practice...exhibition games and long seasons...after several years of organized youth leagues keep the talent coming. FSU is an attractive landing spot for any coach...and they are willing to pay. Solid coach equals great recruiting which equals a ton of talent on the field. Great upside for any new hire.

Stoops is the guy for XFL. Without Stoops XFL will be on the edge of collapse. He will be back to college one day. But I think that will not be until Notre Dame.
