OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Monday he has not been contacted about the head coaching vacancy at Notre Dame but stopped short of saying he would not consider it.

"When you answer you're phone, somebody's always on the other line," Stoops said Monday in the weekly Big 12 coaches' conference call with the media. "It's hard not to talk to them."

But Stoops also said he already has the best coaching job in the country. The No. 11 Sooners (10-2) won the national championship last season.

"I've got a great administration backing us up, so I believe Oklahoma is one of the best places in America to coach or play college football, and I feel fortunate that I have the job I have," he said.

Bob Davie was fired at Notre Dame on Sunday, a day after the second losing season in three years.

Stoops' name surfaced immediately as a candidate, along with Oregon's Mike Belotti and three NFL coaches -- Oakland's Jon Gruden, San Francisco's Steve Mariucci and Jacksonville's Tom Coughlin.
