Given their situation - all current factors - just how high a risk of career suicide would it be to take the OU job?

Moving to the SEC with transfers and decommits and two-timing recruiting going on and all that.

They’ll get someone, with enough money thrown at them - but the odds of it being a ‘home run hire’ are astronomical. Anybody good enough has better options already even if for slightly less money. Anybody willing to walk down that back alley murderers row knows he won’t be there for more than a couple of years and is simply a mirror of the KU coaching situation over the last 10 years

Clearly its Kliff Kingsbury.  He has an eye for talent and a proven track record of success.  I wish our sooner brothers all the fortune in the world with this no-brainier hire

OU's AD Joe Castiglione is one of the best and football means as much to OU as it does anywhere.  Mark Stoops seems like the logical guy but he just signed an extension. 

Jeff Traylor at UTSA  is super connected as a former Tx HS coach and OU has clearly been easiest place to win at vs UT & ATM, i could see OU hiring him to try refocus on the elite Texas recruits that have been going SEC or to Ohio State.

A coach that has roughly 10 years left coaching doesn't care about suicide. They're looking at retirement in 8-10 years. So, they're probably making less than 3-5 mill a year currently, could get a close to $30 million guaranteed to coach there for 2-3 years (2-3 years salary and the buyout when fired) and retire w/ the same amount they would've had for coaching 8-10 more years.

I am 35, and I will do it and commit career suicide for $25 million.

I'd probably do it for $1M.

Yes, if they want to buy me out right now for $1 million to not coach a game, I will commit the career suicide.

Is the job listing on Indeed?

Imagine watching UT fans lose their minds as Traylor leaves the state for their hated rival while they're stuck with Sark who's going to miss a bowl game next year.

they should try and keep Stoops for a couple years while he grooms the next Lincoln Riley type.

They tried that at Texas around ten ago with Mack losing his OCs' and DCs' for head coaching jobs other than Texas.
