Bob Stoops will forever be a Sooner, but what if history were different?
Bob Stoops was the head coach of Oklahoma football for 18 seasons, the second longest tenure for a head coach in Sooner history, and he averaged an incredible 10.5 wins a season during that time.
From 1999 to 2017, Stoops’ Oklahoma teams won 190 games, the most of any OU football chieftain.
Oklahoma is the only school in the country that has had four head football coaches win more than 100 games, and for all four, OU was their first head-coaching assignment.
Stoops arrival in Norman followed a troubling 10-year lackluster period that was among the lowest in Oklahoma’s illustrious football history.
