From random poster on Irish Sports Daily:
I can report to you today that Bob Stoops has not only agreed in principal to a deal but has actually signed the contract earlier today. I suspect a press conference will be called for Friday but it depends on how Stoops wants to approach OU.
This is not from a 'source'- I am the source. My brother works at the agency that has worked behind the scene since shortly after the Pitt game. No academic restrictions were lifted- insulting for anyone to raise that issue. The terms of the contract are straightforward and will not be discussed openly and will not be released publicly. I can tell you the issue centered about guaranteed money which is something we were concerned with but we have access to this required money and at this stage we will not be left short of our goals because of money- that was a fault of Mr. Kevin White.
Stoops desire to come to Notre Dame is an effort to build back ND like he did at OU. The talent is there and Stoops sees his legacy in more of restoring luster than maintaining programs. Stoops has been the ONLY target ND has reached out to. Brian Kelly, etc have never gotten a call from the agency or ND. From what I was told- Meyer had his chance back in 2005 and that ship has sailed. Stoops reportedly said "Bring on USC" when he signed the deal.
ps- I dont need more friends or 'phantom supporters' from a message board. I report this to you today because I have the information and ND could use a shot of good old fashion 'good news'. I signed up today to provide this information and after the press conference on (I think Friday- could be Saturday) I will leave this site.
My response to fofbj...
Well none of this can be true because I have been in talks with ND all morning and they finally met all my demands to be head coach.
1. My own pope-mobile.
2. Beano Cook as radio play by play man. (since he invented radio or was there when it happened and is a Pitt homer)
3. Lou Holtz motivational "thpeeker"
4. A weekly segment on Sportscenter (with Herbi on my lap talking with my hand up his a$$ like mack brown's)
5. Mike Gundy as defensive coordinator(nobody keeps an offense out of the endzone better)
6. A statue of Mike Golic in his thong outside visiting team locker room
7. nacho cheese fountain in coaches office for Golic
8. Lots of jeweled Shillelaghs for the "ladies" batteries not included.
9. Tattoos of Rudy, rainbows and pots of gold for everyone (from THT)
10. and when I signed I said bring on Navy, since they own us.
