The Chicago Sun-Times says, "Yes."
Stoops says, "No."
Brian Hanley's piece in the Sun-Times has a bunch of sources piecing together information for him...
Stoops hasn't said ''No'' to Notre Dame.
Which is the same thing as not saying "yes," either...
One source said Notre Dame has a contract offer for Stoops.
Another source said Stoops has ''been doing his homework'' on the Irish, checking with coaches who have worked at Notre Dame to get their take on the program.
How about this take: "Run away!"
Or this one: "Don't do it!"
Dave Sittler, in the Tulsa World newspaper, has the pointercount on Hanley... Sittler sent a text message to Stoops telling him about the Sun-Times piece...
Stoops sent Sittler a text back saying: "Again, wrong."
The reason, according to Sittler's sources, that Stoops hasn't said "no" is that he feels like he would be throwing Notre Dame under the bus if he did it publicly.
OU, then, released a statement which says in part:
"I work for a wonderful president (David Boren) and athletic director (Joe Castiglione), who have created an incredible work environment at OU. There haven't been any plans for a meeting or negotiations with Notre Dame and there will not be. Any reporting to that fact is completely erroneous. I will not be the next coach at Notre Dame."
So the Carousel continues...
