Bob Stoops is said to be the number one canidate for the Broncos.

Very predictably, going into a big game, Stoops denied it….poorly.  From the Tacoma News Tribune…

“What situation? That’s a rumor that I have not heard and no one has contacted me about that so I don’t know anything about it,” he said. “We’re preparing for a national championship, that’s all my focus, all my concentration is on that, so obviously I’m not a candidate. I’m sure someone might have told me … if I was.”

The Broncos fired Mike Shanahan after 14 seasons on Tuesday.

“There’s no story,” Stoops said. “I’m not a candidate. This is the first I’ve heard about it.” (Source)

What a lousy denial.  He had never heard this?  Come on.
