I would be willing to bet that Peterson,Fitzgerald,Mullen,and Charlie Strong would all get interviews befoe Stoops
I see where you are saying "the last 5 to 6 years" and thats okay. But Stoops has played for more titles than anyone around today. He has played in a BCS bowl in 7 out of 9 years. Yes, he lost more of those, but he was there. He has as many titles during the years of his tenure as anyone not named Urban Meyer or Nick Saban. His overall win percentage is right up there and Mack Brown has had his number recently, but overall they are about even head-to-head.
Tressel has no competing coach who is elite (Stoops deals with Brown every year). Meyer's success is much more recent and he has only just begun to have to deal with Saban. Pete Carroll's record can be tossed out at this point (I really like him and those USC teams, but you will not win any argument for him at this point). Beamer....please. Peterson hasn't done it at a big time program yet. So, you tell me why any of those guys are clearly better than Stoops.
