Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops will retire after 18 seasons as head football coach, Berry Tramel of The Oklahoman reports.
Stoops, 56, will be replaced by 33-year-old offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley.
Stoops will reportedly inform his players of his decision on Wednesday.
After taking over the program in 1999, Stoops went 190–48 at Oklahoma, winning the national title in 2000 in addition to 10 Big 12 championships (nine outright).
I got a chuckle about the bolded comment. Are we all supposed to keep this quiet until he tells them today?
I think it's a huge risk. Obviously Stoops thinks he's the right guy though.Obviously he has to prove it but I think OU will be in good hands with Lincoln Riley. Considered one of the top young coaches out there right now.
Every ISU fan's favorite former coach chimes in:
The tweet was from Mark Mangino. He must have deleted it. Something about "Stoops always told me he would go out on his own terms."What did this tweet say and who was it?? Wont show up for me
This timing isn't weird from the program's standpoint. They had their guy already on staff, by waiting until now they don't open the door up for recruits and players to leave on them, and it's a seamless transition over to Riley. Obviously a little shady to the incoming recruits because I am assuming they weren't real forthright with this, but it's part of the deal I guess.
He just purchased a home in Chicago and is ready for retirement.Hope there is nothing wrong health wise with him or his family.
Is Bill's son named Bobby?Bobby will look splendid in purple, won't he.
Lincoln Riley = Kliff Kingsbury redux
I heard there is video of his star running back knocking a woman the **** out and then casually leaving the scene. He could be getting out before....oh.
Said nothing wrong with health, just wants to "go out and live life."
Hopefully that is all it is, and if so, good for him!
If I have his bank account at his current age I would will it quits early too.If I had Bob Stoops-money, I'd have a really, really low tolerance for ********. I'd become pretty much unmanageable in a work setting.
