Notre Dame could name its new football coach as early as Sunday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The top candidate appears to be Oklahoma Sooners coach Bob Stoops, according to the paper. But on Saturday, Stoops -- who on Monday had said specifically that he would be coaching the Sooners next season -- reiterated in a lengthy statement that he would remain at Oklahoma.
