Looking back almost three-quarters of a century, the 1990s stands out as the worst decade of Sooner football. The 1993 season was far from a disaster, with the Sooners posting an overall mark of 9-3 under head coach Gary Gibbs.
What will be remembered most about that season was it was the foreshadowing of an absolutely awful five years of Oklahoma football that came thereafter.
The Sooners were a pedestrian 6-6 in 1994, Gibbs final season as head coach, and won four of seven games against Big Eight opponents. Although he put together a respectable 44-23-2 record in six seasons after replacing Barry Switzer, Gibbs was fired after the 1994 season, not so much because of his overall record but because he couldn’t win games against the Sooners biggest rivals at the time.
