Former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is reportedly heading back to the sidelines.

According to Joe Trahan of WFAA-TV, Stoops will be named head coach and general manager of Dallas' new XFL franchise.

This news was also reported by Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

If true, Stoops is scheduled to be introduced at a Thursday press conference at 1 p.m.
