One week before his retirement on Wednesday, Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops spoke at a Sooner Caravan event in Tulsa, addressing the three-year contract extension signed recently by his young offensive coordinator, Lincoln Riley.
“This guy intends to be here a long time,” Stoops said, “and we’re going to do all we can to make sure that he does [stay.]”
No one knew, apparently, just how far Stoops would go to keep his word.
