Following reports that he had emerged as the top candidate for the head coaching vacancy at Texas A&M, Mark Stoops put the rumors to bed in the early hours of Sunday morning: he’s staying in Lexington.
Stoops announced on Twitter that he would remain as Kentucky’s head coach, hours after completing his 11th regular season at the school with a win over rival Louisville.
Late Saturday evening, sources told Sports Illustrated that A&M had tabbed Stoops as its top target to replace Jimbo Fisher, who was fired earlier this month.
