Bob Stoops has had his chances to leave Oklahoma since he came to Norman in 1999.
The most tempting of those have been Florida and his chances to leave for the NFL.
Chris Low profiles Stoops and the Sooners' challenging offseason for ESPN.com.
Stoops doesn't like to talk about the interest he's had from other programs but told Low that he seriously considered at least one NFL offer.
But Stoops said his situation at OU was too good to walk away from.
"I say this in a respectful, humble way. But sometimes, some of those NFL guys might rather have my job," Stoops told Low.
