Question: How do you feel about Mike Stoops being hired as the new head football coach?

Paul Cervantes pre-business freshman "It's a great thing because when the season ended, nobody thought we were going anywhere; now there is a reason to look forward to next season."

Ben Usen pre-business freshman "I definitely didn't like the old coach, John Mackovic. It is going to be a big adjustment for Coach Stoops, but it will be better then what we had before."

Evan Annes accounting junior "I like him because he is from a winning program in Oklahoma, and I like his attitude. I like that he is a defensive- minded coach."

Marty Cahill pre-pharmacy freshman "I think they should have given Hankwitz a year to see what he could have done. He was doing better then John Mackovic with the win against Washington; I think he deserved a shot."

Yassiin Nasser psychology graduate student "It starts with coaching. It's important to player morale and performance. I think if players buy into the system, they will perform better. Just look at what Parcells did in Dallas this year."

Sharon Dautrich political science junior "I think it's wonderful! I hope he can start turning the football team around, and everyone can stop being so upset about all those losses."
