The Austin American-Statesman reports that Mike Stoops, who was most recently was an analyst for the Alabama Crimson Tide, will not coach linebackers for the Texas Longhorns after all. The Statesman, which spoke directly to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, followed up on reporting from AL.com that claimed the former Oklahoma defensive coordinator was set to join the Forty Acres. Stoops is the brother of former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian tells me this morning the Horns are not hiring Mike Stoops.
